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.

It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"The solution offers great stability."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"The detection is very effective."
"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
 

Cons

"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"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."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
