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.
Jaya Shanker - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"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."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
 

Cons

"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."
"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."
"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 license needs to be reviewed."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"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."
"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."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The pricing is fair."
