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.

Improves the threat intelligence gathering process, but it is not user-friendly
The tool is not user-friendly. It is not beginner-friendly. It would be very difficult for a beginner to learn the tool. It will take at least two months to get familiar with it. Building the playbook is a little difficult for a beginner. The vendor must simplify the tool and make it user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has helped my customers predict and prevent potential breaches because of its proactive approach."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."
"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 reporting services are great. With reporting services, if you have customers that just visit a URL you can see the result - including why it's blocked and how and how the URL was first recognized as malicious."
"Integrating the solution with our existing security tools and workflows was easy."
 

Cons

"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"I don't think anything is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon, but if they can manage their SOC solution instead of users or the end users or customers doing that, it will be very useful, just as Sophos does."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"The tool is not user-friendly."
"The solution should be simpler for the end-user in terms of reporting and navigating the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"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 price is too high."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
