Has significantly influenced our security strategy as it helps us plan attacks and take initial steps in compromising networks
I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response
There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting, and vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The detection is very effective."
"The best features CrowdStrike Falcon offers, in my opinion, are the visibility into everything that is happening, the process tree is really great and provides complete visibility into the process executions, and the query language is pretty useful and efficient because it resembles SQL and is convenient for beginners."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's detection engine is behavior-based, which is what matters to me."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"The UI is not efficient."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"I feel the weakest thing about CrowdStrike Falcon is their documentation."
"I find that it sometimes takes too much performance on our notebooks, so it is sometimes slow."
"The stability of the solution varies, several weeks ago I had some difficulties deploying CrowdStrike."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
