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.

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

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The Insight feature is one we found the most useful."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"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."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence offers relevant information about organizations, along with threat intelligence tailored to specific industries."
"The best feature that SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence offers is definitely the detection of leaks in the dark web."
"SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence is a very proactive security providing product in the market, and it helps identify potential threats related to our organization that we currently found."
"The most complete solution of all, which goes across everything and the entire spectrum, is SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence."
 

Cons

"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"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."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"However, pricing, interface, customization, AI, and integration could be improved."
"The customer support for SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence is average, as the support team is responsive and knowledgeable, although it takes some time to get responses."
"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

"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"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."
