Cloud deployment offers flexibility with performance and stability
The impact of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox on automated features is maintained by the partner. Customizable reports partly help me with my team's investigations. We are not using any other security tools; we are only using the Falcon. In my organization, approximately 50 users are using CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox. There is nothing that requires maintenance; the partner handles it. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides a safe way to analyze and review documents that may have sensitive information without uploading them to a public platform. Additionally, provides an easy way to spin up a VM without requiring additional resources and patching of personal or team-managed virtualization."
"CrowdStrike is an excellent tool for managing all endpoint-related security tasks."
"I find the notifications and alerts received from CrowdStrike server to be invaluable."
"We have seen returns on our investment in more than thousands of instances, which is the most important part for us."
"The most valuable features include malware detection, threat rating related to files, studying the metadata of the files, and providing threat feeds to the endpoint."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a 10 out of 10."
"I don't have any suggestions, because the solution is company-maintained and I believe the company is adopting every feature based on their needs and requirements."
"The tool helps to obtain information about potential company breaches. The malware analysis capability is very effective. We check files from various sources, such as emails, USBs, and cloud drives."
"The dynamic analysis feature in Cuckoo Sandbox is excellent compared to others."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
"Cuckoo Sandbox is very stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"The product needs integration with SOAR products to add more integration points, which is important for various clients."
"As for room for improvement, we can mention that maybe some additional integrations will be beneficial to cover the whole use cases."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is to impressively detect threats without any impact on the end point performance. The solution ensures that the end users have a seamless experience."
"As of now, there is nothing specific in need of improvement."
"The CrowdStrike support is not good; the support team does not come remotely, and we repeatedly ask them to collect logs and analyze them before providing a solution via email."
"The technical support is medium - they could improve, as communication is sometimes slow or late. There are missing detections that other tools catch. For improvements, we need easier ways to view full incident information and better presentation of data. Adding risk indicators for incidents would help decide on immediate actions. The platform should provide more information about incident risks to help less knowledgeable staff make decisions."
"The detailed report is very valuable, but not always accurate. This is a great resource to share amongst team members and stakeholders after analysis."
"I want the command to be quicker."
"The only issue is with the installation, which requires some adjustments."
"Cuckoo Sandbox could improve its signature detection because it currently only shows simple file modifications and connections to different botnets."
"It lacks correlation with other types of information, such as explaining why a particular file was modified or identifying the specific process responsible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the tool is a bit above mid-range, maybe 7 out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not cheap; however, whether it should be more affordable is a decision best left to the company."
"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
