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.

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 ( /products/zerofox-reviews ) 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 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."

"It's very easy to set up."

"The product provides good monitoring features."

"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."

"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."

"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."

"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."

"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."

"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."

Cons

"Falcon could include more integrative features."

"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."

"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."

"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."

"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."

"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."

"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."

"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"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.""

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."

"The price is too high."

"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
