Featured Reviews

Chetan Bhati - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities
The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The solution is very scalable; our proof of concept was a few devices and now at full scale we have 50,000 devices, and because it's a cloud console, if you do the implementation right and the sensor is put on in an automated process, it doesn't matter how many computers you have, it just runs."
"The product is really good, but there is a lot of additional features that you need to have for it to be a complete solution."
"My advice for others is to purchase the solution it is simple to use and effective."
"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."
"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."
"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."
"ZeroFOX is valuable because it enables the detection of chatter on social media without depending on keywords and has no language limitations, as it can detect many languages."
 

Cons

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"With CrowdStrike, we have found that there are a few missed detections. We would not say it is completely reliable or 100% reliable, however, the ratio of missed detection is more in CrowdStrike."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."
"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours, but they take more than that."
"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."
"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"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."
