The solution is easy to implement, but the scalability and technical support must be improved
The solution is used for endpoint security The simplicity of implementation is valuable. The way the management file is integrated into the environment must be improved. Currently, I am using the solution. The tool is stable. We did not have any issues with it. I rate the tool’s scalability a…

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

"It is easy to implement and is very scalable, it also comes with very good documentation, and Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by improving the flow with the detections and the alerting."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"The benefits of having multiple security capabilities on a single platform like CrowdStrike Falcon are significant."
"What differentiates CrowdStrike Falcon from other cybersecurity platforms I have used or evaluated is that it understands detection and response exceptionally well, proven by its good telemetry collection and actionable insights, so I do not have to worry about creating detection rules, with fewer false positives than other platforms."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats."
 

Cons

"They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."
"There are other competitors who do it better. They have a better market share and you can see they have better visibility on the fleet."
"Support must be improved."
"I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality."
"However, a bit negative is that lately, support requests are being handled less or more slowly, and we often only get references to documentation, which, as an MSSP partner that really engages deeply with this solution, is not enough."
"A big improvement is needed around dashboards, specifically to have an executive dashboard as the current one is very technical but lacking at the executive level."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
