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.

Advanced detectors streamline threat monitoring with many use cases

Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions. Their turnaround time could improve to match other tools. When feedback is provided, they consider it and indicate if it is in the development stage. They commit to fixing bugs and developing the module or feature, however, take quite a lot of time. I would rate their customer support as needing improvement. Another area needing improvement is integration capabilities, as they are not yet fully compatible. Users still have to rely on third-party software or integration tools. Furthermore, they should incorporate more GenAI capabilities, a current buzzword, and enable predictive use cases. Their tools should be capable of reading the environment, making adaptations, and automatically tweaking settings as per client or environmental needs, similar to capabilities provided by other SIEM tools.

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 features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."

"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."

"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."

"It's really good because it can detect anything."

"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."

"The most beneficial part is the active response capability of the product."

"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Other SIEM tools base their license cost on the volume of data processed, often charging by how much TB or GB data is processed. Hunter, however, charges based on the number of data sources and the number of data entities integrated, which saves money."

"Hunter proactively provides a set of five to six hundred use cases, categorized based on cloud use cases, endpoint use cases, parameter use cases, and malicious use cases."

Cons

"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."

"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."

"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."

"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."

"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."

"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."

"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional. Their support engineers could be more advanced and faster in providing solutions."

"Hunter support is functional yet not exceptional."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annual licensing."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
