Featured Reviews

Cloud-native security has improved real-time threat detection and streamlined daily operations
While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users. Sometimes, navigating through different sections and understanding detailed alerts takes time, especially for teams without deep security expertise. The cost is also something to consider, as the features and additional modules can increase pricing, which may be a challenge for smaller teams. Additionally, some integrations with simpler reporting would be helpful. The onboarding process for new users is a bit challenging for beginners to understand all features and workflows in the product. More simplified documentation, step-by-step guides, and real-world examples could help new users get comfortable faster. A structured onboarding or basic training module would be very useful for teams who are new to endpoint security tools. In addition, having more in-product guidance and tooltips within the dashboard could make navigation easier and reduce the learning curve. Overall, improving training resources and onboarding support would make the platform more user-friendly, especially for new users.

Has supported real-time event detection and reporting accuracy while database integration has required extra effort
Sometimes it may be difficult to incorporate new additional databases in NetMon, and we faced some challenges at that time. However, currently, it is not giving many challenges.It is difficult to integrate NetMon with other databases. We can customize NetMon's monitoring views, but it is done by the team who handles it, as it is outsourced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The primary way that CrowdStrike has improved the way our organization functions is visibility, and when we do have an issue, the ability to see what was happening before, during, and after the issue on the target laptop or server is far better than what we were used to."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"We have signed up for Falcon Complete, which is their completely managed service, and this has done nothing but paid dividends since we have rolled it out."
"It allows us to determine root cause, do the analysis, a lot quicker."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."
"There are great security features on offer that are much better than other options in India at this time."
"The analytics feature is the most valuable feature."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
"The initial setup is straightforward because we can deploy an open server."
"In general, this is a good product."
"We are using NetMon's real-time traffic analysis regularly with a team of four members who effectively monitor all alerts and events, which has helped them identify whether there could be a severe incident."
"We were sold on the product based on the fairly narrow use cases that the sales reps gave us, and what we're seeing during our usage is that we can get there, and we're very excited about the potential."
"The most valuable feature is the log, which can be analyzed by our SIEM solution."
"NetMon's best feature is traffic analysis."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"Too many false positives."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."
"Our customers would always like to see additional features."
"Could use a topology diagram which would help get an exact visual."
"Some of the automated tasks we can perform on QRadar cannot be performed on LogRhythm because the solution has limitations."
"The main concern is that LogRhythm has not improved NetMon but instead introduced a separate product, which many customers, including us, would prefer to be integrated into a single platform for easier management."
"I would like to see better integration with multiple products. Integration is not something that is readily available for most of the products."
"Their technical support isn't so great."
"The platform's integration features often need to be improved."
"LogRhythm's support team isn't responsive enough - it's common to wait a day or two for someone to deal with a case."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"NetMon's licensing costs about $85k per year, with some extra costs for support."
"The product is expensive for smaller companies."
"The price of this solution is too high, so it should be made more practical and more valuable for the customer."
"Pricing is okay. There were some competitors that were extremely expensive and there were some which were really inexpensive but LogRhythm stayed in the middle of them."
"I don't have visibility into the pricing of LogRhythm NetMon as it's handled through our commercial partnerships."
"LogRhythm's licensing part is something that depends on the license you want since they offer it on a perpetual and subscription basis."
