Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.

Contains a huge amount of information regarding deep web and dark web, reducing investigation times
In the search engine, you are able to use operators. These operators allow you to do specific searches or open searches. The main things are: * If you want to search everything related to a specific malware family but you don't want to have anything related to specific search. So, you can just upload it from the search engine and search for it. * If you only wanted to know about one specific vulnerability, but you don't care what is in Telegram or GitHub as repositories, then it will only care for these things in the dark web forums. You can narrow your search to that. * If you want only sites in Spanish, but not in other languages, you can narrow your search to that. There are a lot of possibilities when using the search engine. It has become really useful for my analysts. The solution has enabled us to access sources that we have not seen anywhere else, such as Telegram. It also gives us access to the Genesis Marketplace. Otherwise, we would have to pay someone for that. However, with Cybersixgill, we can go to the platform and search for whatever we want.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"They also provide some of the greatest notification capabilities. I put in a customer's company name and domain names, or sometimes I put in their IP addresses as a keyword. Once Sixgill collects information that includes those keywords, they then provide us email notifications. That means we can catch information related to our customers as soon as possible."
"The advanced analysis has made our security operations more efficient. It has also potentially given us quicker access to data that we might not have otherwise located."
"To be diligent for the customer, we usually go into Cybersixgill Investigative Portal to analyze and search things. The solution tells us the reputation of cyber threat actors. So, if someone has a reputation of one, it is a really bad idea to care about what that person is saying. However, if you find someone with a reputation of nine, then there is a high probability that we need to address the problem. You can get information about these type of actors in Cybersixgill Investigative Portal. They have a huge collection, which is like having the rules/goals of the dark web and deep web without having to go there. Our analysts avoid going dark web because they have Cybersixgill Investigative Portal and can get the news from their browser, searching wherever they want."
"The solution’s approach of using limited open source intelligence and focusing, instead, on the Deep Web and Dark Web is what seals the deal. That is why I like them. I have other tools that I can aggregate all the open source intelligence from. I value Cybersixgill because it provides access to things that no one else does."
 

Cons

"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"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."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"Regarding their scraping abilities, things could be solidified. There are definitely improvements that could be made on the specificity for setting certain queries."
"The breadth of access to data is good, but there are gaps. More data would be my suggestion because the platform is good and I have no complaints about the system. I think it is just a case of always trying to get more data sources."
"Sixgill has strong capabilities based on search queries, but there is some difficulty in using Sixgill. Their querying is very powerful but it can be difficult. It's not hugely complex but you need some skill to use Sixgill querying."
"We need real-time updated information. If we could have this, it would be amazing. For example, if someone was posting something, then ten second later, it was on the platform. Sometimes, it takes a minute or hours right now, depending on the forum."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The price is too high."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing and licensing are good. It is expensive for us because the US dollar is quite strong compared to our dollar. Otherwise, it is quite reasonable for what it is. All the tools in the market are around the same price from my experience."
"Sometimes, Cybersixgill Investigative Portal is cheaper than its competitors."
"The pricing is cheap compared with Recorded Future. Sixgill's cost-effectiveness is very good."
