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

"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
