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.

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans

We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."

"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."

"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."

"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."

"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."

"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."

"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

Cons

"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."

"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."

"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."

"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."

"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."

"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."

"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."

"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."

"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

"The license needs to be reviewed."

"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
