Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows users to easily monitor miscellaneous activities occurring in their environments
The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required. It would be good if Jamf Protect could be integrated with Jamf Pro and used as a single solution. There are a couple of improvements where there is a need to change a few things. There are also a couple of things that need to be removed and merged into the main tool, Jamf Pro. The solution's technical team needs to improve because somewhere I felt from my personal experience that unless Jamf's team puts in an effort to understand the requirements of its customers, help can't be provided. The help provided by Jamf's team is on the basis of what they know, so I feel that they need to put a bit of effort into understanding what customers expect from the product.

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 XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The detection is very effective."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
 

Cons

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"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."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"I'd really like to see some data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities. More visibility into user activity on laptops would be helpful."
"The scope of improvement will fall under the support hierarchy that the tool offers to the latest version that Apple derives for any of the latest operating systems to launch."
"Beginners need initial training."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has a very competitive price."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"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."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The price is too high."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product price as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
