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

"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."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
 

Cons

"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"Kandji should give open customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The product is expensive."
"Annual licensing."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
