Featured Reviews

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.
Ashitosh Bankar - PeerSpot reviewer
Searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware and monitors the network for security
Jamf Protect provides zero-touch integration, and we can add various IdPs for synchronization or authentication.The most effective feature of the solution for security needs is that users can create a zero-touch environment network access and VPN access. Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"The platform is very scalable."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The product's initial setup phase has very simple steps."
"Jamf Protect's most effective features for threat detection include managing devices and applications, deploying and upgrading the OS, and its overall security features."
"Jamf Protect is a security product that helps us with CIS benchmarks and threat prevention."
"Jamf Protect searches incoming and outgoing traffic for malware to monitor the network for security."
"We mainly use Jamf Protect to protect staff computers from malware and antivirus."
"The quick updates are really good. If a new OS update drops today, I'll have the Jamf Protect update within a few hours. It's also compatible with all Mac OS versions, and there's zero lag or performance impact."
"The behavioral detection is valuable."
"The tool's tech support is helpful and efficient. It also has an active community."
 

Cons

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"The price is too high."
"The performance could be better."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The dependency on Jamf Pro or SIEM or SOAR for some automations and integrations could be reduced."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution's integration with other tools is slow."
"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."
"Jamf Protect needs to improve its pricing."
"Jamf Protect protects just Mac devices, and we would love to have one solution for other platforms and not just Mac devices."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Beginners need initial training."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"It's significantly cheaper than other options like ApexOne."
"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."
"The licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"Jamf Protect is an expensive solution."
"Jamf Protect costs double the price that we were paying before."
