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

"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."
"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 simplicity of implementation is valuable."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats by making it much more granular."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches; it has allowed us to stay in business and kept our systems up while multiple partners and service providers have been taken down by ransomware and other cyberattacks."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
 

Cons

"Support must be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution lacks basic functionality, such as being able to perform on-demand scanning."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be improved by continuing to adapt to everything that is going on with AI and other developments in the world."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of CrowdStrike Falcon as being awesome, other than the great CrowdStriking. I have experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is pretty accurate and reliable, but the only part where we lack visibility is whether the endpoint has started reporting or is not reporting."
"Not being able to complete the deployment in an efficient manner is one of the huge weaknesses."
"I think CrowdStrike Falcon could be improved by making the interface more modern and simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The product is expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
