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.
Muhammad Fahad - PeerSpot reviewer
Security needs improvement and email scanning features are not included
The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use this for email scanning. There are many options that are not available in DeepArmor. We cannot use separate applications for different internet applications or for different internet scanning. This is why we cannot use it. I would like to see additional features such as email scanning, which should be included, or malware detections, and other cybersecurity features should be included. It could also be more secure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"It is easy to install."
 

Cons

"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"The email scanning feature is not available in DeepArmor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"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."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"There are licensing fees."
