Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
AtulChaurasia - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with intuitive features for detecting malicious files
The initial setup process is straightforward. We have to install the agent, create a package, and deploy it on servers. It has a prebuilt console managed by the cloud team of Cybereason. We don't have to worry about the console and concentrate on endpoint implementation. It takes ten days to deploy it on 10,000 devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"All the features are beneficial."
"CrowdStrike Falcon serves as a next-gen AV, which basically does AI-based behavioral analysis to detect and act on malware or ransomware."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"The initial setup process is straightforward."
"I haven't had any issues with the solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."
"What I find most valuable is the clarity of the platform."
"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."
"The initial setup is not overly complicated."
 

Cons

"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"Its Microsoft PowerShell protections still need some compatibility improvements. We have run across just a few. It is compatible with 90% of what we have in our network, but there is that 10% that we are still struggling with as far as compatibility with the type of PowerShell scripts needed to run our day-to-day business."
"I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance."
"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."
"There can be problems with the EDI."
"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."
"They need to improve their technical support services."
"I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping."
"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."
"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
"In terms of pricing, it's a good solution."
"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."
"The pricing is manageable."
"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."
"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."
