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.

AI-powered discovery enhances threat visibility while customer support excels
I am a reseller. One of our customers suffered an attack a few months ago, and they discovered that they have some data available on the deep and dark web. The biggest driver for using ThreatMon was takedown services. SIEM integration into their incident response was also essential. They wanted…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest advantage of this solution for my customers is that it is a single solution that fulfills most of their security concerns while being easy to manage."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting, and vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"CrowdStrike is excellent at preventing breaches, and our security operations are more robust as a result."
"Everything you need to know is right there in a single dashboard."
"It does everything that it claims, making our life significantly easier."
"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."
"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has a ransom detection time of less than 50 seconds."
"I would recommend ThreatMon."
"Machine learning or AI discovery, which discovers our resources on the deep and dark web, has been very useful."
 

Cons

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"The performance could be better. It's a bit slow."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities."
"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."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses."
"ThreatMon is very expensive."
"We are looking at a better pricing model to onboard as many customers as possible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"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."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
