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.

Centralized threat intelligence has protected vip accounts and detects dark web exposure quickly
Pricing is a problem as I see it. The credit-based model is extremely expensive. If a company does not have at least €70,000 to invest, they tend to avoid the solution because of the cost structure. The issue is not necessarily the pricing itself, but rather the credit-based model. If the pricing were structured as a flat fee of €70,000 or €30,000 with unlimited searches and unlimited credits, I would see much greater value in the solution. However, with the current model, you pay tens of thousands of euros and still have limitations on your searches. For an MSSP like myself, this is particularly challenging because we have dozens of customers. If we conduct a search for every customer monthly, bi-monthly, or even quarterly, the credits will be depleted by the end of the year or even sooner. The credits can become expendable very quickly, sometimes within a few months. This is the only downside of SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence. Otherwise, I believe it is almost the perfect tool for CTI. I consider it the leading CTI tool on the market. There are many others that try to get close to it, but they are not even close.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"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 reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"The best feature that SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence offers is definitely the detection of leaks in the dark web."
"The most complete solution of all, which goes across everything and the entire spectrum, is SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence."
 

Cons

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"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."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence does not handle growth well as my needs change."
"Pricing is a problem as I see it. The credit-based model is extremely expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"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.""
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"Annual licensing."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
