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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The scalability is good."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"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."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"The UI is not efficient."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
