Featured Reviews

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.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."
"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has a ransom detection time of less than 50 seconds."
"The platform is very scalable."
"We have found the implementation process to be very easy."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
 

Cons

"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."
"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."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The product lacks a broad user base which makes it difficult sometimes to find answers to questions about the product."
"In terms of improvement, it's really just a matter of them getting more mature. It's a relatively new solution and they probably need to streamline a few of the processes as they mature. But there are not too many problems."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The custom application integration is a little complex, and this tool doesn't provide so many plugins or additional applications."
"According to feedback I've received, some users prefer SailPoint over Saviynt in real complex environments. SailPoint has its provisioning platform. Complex integrations may pose challenges in scenarios like a large bank with thousands of users, making SailPoint a preferred choice for some."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The product is expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
