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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution can scale easily."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"Too many false positives."
"The UI is not efficient."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
