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.
Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-manage and deploy solution, but it should provide open customization
You don't need a certification or great knowledge to manage and deploy the solution because it's not complex. It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want. Kandji doesn't require much customization because it has built-in features that we have to create manually otherwise.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product provides good monitoring features."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
 

Cons

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"Kandji should give open customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
