Pros
"It operates on a single, extensive database which enables it to excel in detecting threats and anomalies across the network and endpoints, delivering a highly effective and comprehensive security solution.""It is an effective solution in terms of performance and functionalities.""The most valuable features of Cortex XSIAM are the machine learning used to identify threats, the complexity of the environment of products, and efficiency.""Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program."

"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment.""It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints.""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.""It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible.""The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand.""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.""It's very easy to set up.""There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."

Cons
"The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved.""The support could be a bit faster.""The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease.""Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."

More Cortex XSIAM Cons →

"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there.""CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition.""I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike.""Forensic controls have room for improvement.""I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool.""The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement.""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.""This solution is relatively expensive."
