Featured Reviews

Chetan Bhati - PeerSpot reviewer

Cloud-native security has improved real-time threat detection and streamlined daily operations
While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users. Sometimes, navigating through different sections and understanding detailed alerts takes time, especially for teams without deep security expertise. The cost is also something to consider, as the features and additional modules can increase pricing, which may be a challenge for smaller teams. Additionally, some integrations with simpler reporting would be helpful. The onboarding process for new users is a bit challenging for beginners to understand all features and workflows in the product. More simplified documentation, step-by-step guides, and real-world examples could help new users get comfortable faster. A structured onboarding or basic training module would be very useful for teams who are new to endpoint security tools. In addition, having more in-product guidance and tooltips within the dashboard could make navigation easier and reduce the learning curve. Overall, improving training resources and onboarding support would make the platform more user-friendly, especially for new users.

Human-guided threat monitoring has delivered rapid, confident incident response and strong compliance
I believe Huntress Managed SIEM could be improved by increasing integrations with non-Microsoft solutions as this would broaden its appeal. A broader out-of-the-box solution for diverse environments including IoT, Mac OS, and Linux servers would be valuable. I would rate Huntress Managed SIEM an eight because a couple of things could be changed, such as having more integrations with non-Microsoft systems, improved customization on the dashboard, and enhanced reporting in the threat intelligence updates. Being unable to click on new niche variants of threats is another point I would mention, but overall an eight out of ten is a good score because I think it is a very well-priced solution for its capabilities and all the positives I have outlined. The eight rating is primarily influenced by those integration and customization points I mentioned, which are the main requests from customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"Using this solution has reduced my need for imaging. We can mitigate the issue and address it immediately, for people both on and off of the network."
"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"Huntress Managed SIEM is designed to make powerful threat detection, response, and compliance support accessible without the complexities and costs of traditional SIEMs."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
"If you want to secure your infrastructure and save a lot of time for your organization, you can use Huntress Managed SIEM."
"Huntress Managed SIEM has positively impacted my organization primarily by helping us help our customers achieve the compliance levels at which they are trying to achieve, and it also gives us additional information when we are reacting to security events that are presented from Huntress's SOC."
"During the year I have been using it, I have seen improvements such as no alert fatigue, which is beneficial, and obviously the automated threat detection."
"Having real people reviewing the alerts compared to automated systems gives me confidence and peace of mind."
 

Cons

"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"The current version of Falcon does not support DLP which may be good to have in an EDR solution."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"Setting up and installing CrowdStrike Falcon is not easy, so an area for improvement is for that process to be simplified."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"In my opinion, there is room for improvement in Huntress Managed SIEM, particularly in integration with third-party solutions."
"The scalability for SMEs and MSPs is noteworthy for a few hundred endpoints, but it struggles with scalability when dealing with high logs, multi-site, multi-tenant setups, and large volumes of endpoints, which poses a challenge."
"There should be better exclusions of log types and the ability to exclude specific types of logs that might be using a lot of data."
"I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress Managed SIEM to integrate with EDRs like SentinelOne to combine that level of intelligence and information into their stack so that they can leverage whatever protections the client has and gather that intelligence to help with the MDR side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
