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.

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 detection is very effective."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The scalability is good."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
 

Cons

"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"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."
"One area for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon could be the user interface and reports; it requires some improvements to be easily handled."
"Kandji should give open customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"The product is expensive."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
