Cloud-native security has improved real-time threat detection and streamlined daily operations
While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users. Sometimes, navigating through different sections and understanding detailed alerts takes time, especially for teams without deep security expertise. The cost is also something to consider, as the features and additional modules can increase pricing, which may be a challenge for smaller teams. Additionally, some integrations with simpler reporting would be helpful. The onboarding process for new users is a bit challenging for beginners to understand all features and workflows in the product. More simplified documentation, step-by-step guides, and real-world examples could help new users get comfortable faster. A structured onboarding or basic training module would be very useful for teams who are new to endpoint security tools. In addition, having more in-product guidance and tooltips within the dashboard could make navigation easier and reduce the learning curve. Overall, improving training resources and onboarding support would make the platform more user-friendly, especially for new users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"CrowdStrike will detect any malicious malware attack on the machine, end the attack, and immediately alert us to the issue."
"The solution fits well in the organization and took out valuable output as expected from Endpoint Detection and Response solution."
"The scalability is good."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"Integration is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow."
"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."
"I would like a more universal search."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
