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.

Support and integration enhance security posture over three years
I don't know if there's something that could be improved. They surprise me. As I mentioned, I returned a month ago. I haven't fully investigated the complete system yet. I must say that we have been with them for around three years. This is amazing because throughout these three years, they have supported us every week. We meet weekly to review results and fix issues together. Apart from occasional days off, this weekly support has been consistent for three years. It's remarkable because many products are sold and then the product teams forget about you, but this isn't the case with Cymulate.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."
"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"Cymulate has positively impacted our organization by helping us to take care of the efficacy and reviewing the policies and configuration."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
 

Cons

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"Too many false positives."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"I will be honest, we have it, but in the last year, I didn't maintain the system until a month ago."
"The way Cymulate works for EDR could be improved, as it drops payload and requires action from the EDR console for remediation, which can block the whole process of Cymulate execution."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
