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…

Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these 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. Cisco provides good technical support as well."
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."
 

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."
"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."
"The performance could be better."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"I recommend that some deep-dive trainings are required for the NG SIEM, specifically for their next-generation SIEM module, as they need some basic trainings for that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
