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.

A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest advantage of this solution for my customers is that it is a single solution that fulfills most of their security concerns while being easy to manage."
"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."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
 

Cons

"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"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 past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"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."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
