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.
Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
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 machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"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."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"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

"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
