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.

High fidelity cyber incident detection is near in real-time, enabling proactive & timely mitigation efforts
The nature of the system means it has to be implemented throughout the organizations. You need to implement it on the network layer, the email layer, the web proxy layer, and also the endpoints. Nevertheless, endpoint monitoring is very challenging due to the lack of automated method to install the endpoint agents. In one of our customer case, we have about 40,000 endpoints and we need to have a simplified method of deployment if we're going to implement the endpoint monitoring effectively. Product features also need some improvement in creating custom signatures for detection because that is not open to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has been very low maintenance."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"The EDR feature of CrowdStrike is fantastic."
"The product has significantly reduced the mean time to detect (MTTD) and allows us to see cyber attacks in near real time so that response time is much quicker and prioritized, closing the gap and saving the bank a lot of money because cyber incidents can be proactively prevented and mitigation can be carried out much earlier."
"Great automatic correlation of all internal activities."
 

Cons

"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"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."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"Because the system requires an appliance, reliability and stability can become an issue because we are looking at network point of failure and at the OS point of failure as well."
"Monitoring the endpoint could be improved, it requires a huge effort."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"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."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
