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.

Efficient log management enhances activity monitoring despite VPN user issue

Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity. It's like a Fortinet device configured for VPN users. When a VPN user logs in, it doesn't really capture the time before this. If you're testing with existing or new device integration, then the product will be good in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."

"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."

"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."

"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."

"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."

"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."

"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The user interface is very good."

"The log management has helped to improve my organization."

"The dashboard for administrators or assigned engineers can identify vulnerabilities, activities, infected systems, large files, or DDoS attacks."

"The most valuable features of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer are the number of capabilities, file integration monitoring, web server log collection, and alert configuration."

"It is stable."

"It's one of the easiest products. It's very simple to use."

"The support system is very good."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is easy to gather reports to give to management. My supervisor has access to the solution and he enjoys the graphs."

Cons

"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."

"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."

"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."

"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."

"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."

"The pricing is a bit too high."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"It may not be as easy to use as Splunk."

"What I'd like to see as an improvement to ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is for it to be more AI-driven. Having more automation would also make the solution better."

"There isn't good security integration when it comes to cybersecurity. The correlation of logs isn't so simple."

"There's a lot to improve in terms of connectivity. Currently, we're utilizing it across various infrastructures and environments, including others' cloud. However, connecting it to our infrastructure and integrating it with some of our SMAX solutions poses difficulties."

"The solution is stable. However, there are limits. For example, we can do 2,500 Syslog events per second, but if we want to do more we have to install the distributor structure, and then we can expand how many events we can do. They could improve the stability."

"Last month, we faced an issue with a Hawaiian VPN user activity."

"The first tier of customer service and support is not great."

"The customization of reports could be a lot easier. It is not difficult but it could be made easier."

More ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."

"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"This solution has a very competitive price."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."

"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."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is expensive. Its licensing costs are annual."

"ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is a low-cost solution. It costs approximately $1,000 per month per server for a perpetual license."

"There is a yearly subscription for the solution."

"There is a license required for these solutions. The customer can choose the license type, such as an annual license purchase or a perpetual license. If the customer wants maintenance they will have to pay annually."

"We paid for the license of the solution and the deployment. The price of ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is less expensive than other solutions."

"Licensing for ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer is paid yearly."
