Detailed sandbox reports have strengthened investigations and now provide clearer threat decisions
The additional quota was a factor that led us to consider a change; we went from five detonations per day to 250 per month. Multi-platform analysis in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has helped identify threats. The effectiveness of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has been roughly 90 to 100 percent for our operations. Custom indicators of compromise in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox add to our cybersecurity strategy; it is a small part of the strategy, but it plays a significant part in keeping all of the tenants that we have onboarded up to date on relevant files that we are seeing in our environment. That memory forensic capability in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not something we utilize significantly, but we know of its importance. We utilize memory forensics sometimes in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox to review the entropy snapshot; if we see a high level of entropy in the Sandbox report, that could lead to a decision that the file is most likely suspicious, but we use that as an additional item to review. Regarding how features of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox have benefited my organization, there is a real-time feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox, so we can deploy the operating system of choice; we can also analyze archived files, and those features have been helpful as we can interact with the file in certain ways and get additional interaction metrics. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox overall as a solution at a nine out of ten. A higher interaction time with the file would give CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a ten out of ten for us. If you utilize Falcon Endpoint Protection, I would highly recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox because the telemetry goes hand-in-hand with that other product.

Easy to setup and stable solution
It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us.  There is room for improvement in pricing.  In future releases, I would like to see improvements in EDR protection.  So, the only thing that I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike is an excellent tool for managing all endpoint-related security tasks."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is one of the most intelligent anti-virus solutions present in the market."
"The tool helps to obtain information about potential company breaches. The malware analysis capability is very effective. We check files from various sources, such as emails, USBs, and cloud drives."
"Since I'm working with CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox, I would say that the solution enhances a company's threat intelligence, as it's a very powerful solution."
"I find the notifications and alerts received from CrowdStrike server to be invaluable."
"We have seen returns on our investment in more than thousands of instances, which is the most important part for us."
"I don't have any suggestions, because the solution is company-maintained and I believe the company is adopting every feature based on their needs and requirements."
"The most valuable features include malware detection, threat rating related to files, studying the metadata of the files, and providing threat feeds to the endpoint."
"It's a good product for us. The reports and notifications are very good for us."
 

Cons

"One area that could be improved about CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is its console; it should be more user-friendly."
"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"As of now, there is nothing specific in need of improvement."
"I think one of the limitations of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is the amount of interaction time when we interact with the file; I believe there is a limitation to how long we can interact with the file, along with the types of operating systems available."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is to impressively detect threats without any impact on the end point performance. The solution ensures that the end users have a seamless experience."
"As for room for improvement, we can mention that maybe some additional integrations will be beneficial to cover the whole use cases."
"The technical support is medium - they could improve, as communication is sometimes slow or late. There are missing detections that other tools catch. For improvements, we need easier ways to view full incident information and better presentation of data. Adding risk indicators for incidents would help decide on immediate actions. The platform should provide more information about incident risks to help less knowledgeable staff make decisions."
"The product needs integration with SOAR products to add more integration points, which is important for various clients."
"I would like to see in the future is EDR protection and a lower price for F-Secure Total."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the tool is a bit above mid-range, maybe 7 out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not cheap; however, whether it should be more affordable is a decision best left to the company."
"We can easily scale and improve security, but the cost is high for us."
