Featured Reviews

Dipak M Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at Jord International Pty Ltd
Efficient threat detection and seamless deployment improve overall security
The single panel console of CrowdStrike Falcon is very user-friendly, which is what we are looking for. Having multiple administrators between various offices with this single console gives us the ability to see all offices, branch offices, and partners, making it very useful to detect machines, identify machines, and check security risks. Everything in the single console is very useful. CrowdStrike Falcon has positively impacted our organization in terms of efficiency because it's very lightweight, easy to deploy, easy to manage, and works very efficiently. It quickly detects issues and doesn't have a signature-based system, so it works fast and takes immediate action.

Deputy Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Experience seamless integration and effective dashboard while considering improved EDR configuration support
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. They should create some KB articles for the granular exclusion from different platforms and improve their technical assistance support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"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 key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure — the fact that it's not finding anything; however, I am not experiencing the issues that competitors are saying I should be experiencing."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"In general, we feel more secure knowing that we are not relying on multiple different technologies to provide a different kind of protection."
"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 most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The security validation feature helps my organization in assessing our security posture."
"With Cymulate, the best features are the capacity to test the EDR or malware, anti-malware solution."
 

Cons

"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"We have had some trouble with the agents."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
