Featured Reviews

Chetan Bhati - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"We just moved over from McAfee to CrowdStrike, which detected a lot of things that McAfee did not."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"From a security perspective, it has significantly improved our ability to detect threats in real-time and respond quickly before they affect multiple systems."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management, and the solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"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."
"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."
"The most complete solution of all, which goes across everything and the entire spectrum, is SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence."
 

Cons

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."
"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."
"However, pricing, interface, customization, AI, and integration could be improved."
"SOCRadar Extended Threat Intelligence does not handle growth well as my needs change."
"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."
"Pricing is a problem as I see it. The credit-based model is extremely expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"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 tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"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."
