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.

Managed detection has reduced threat anxiety and provides fast responses across diverse clients
I would appreciate more features in the stack. I would like Huntress MDR and 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. Regarding the SIEM, I would like to see more features added. I would appreciate the capability of setting our own alerting based on certain triggers within the logs so that we can compete and fill a void that their SIEM has compared to other SIEMs in the industry such as Perch Security for ConnectWise.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"Huntress is a great company and incredibly helpful with deployment."
"The single pane of glass management with the other security products we use from Huntress is incredibly valuable."
"Huntress Managed SIEM's response time is far superior to any other vendor we have tested in terms of MDR."
 

Cons

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"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."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
