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.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The solution offers great stability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The dashboard is good."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"With the heightened security around phishing, identity theft, and malware, this is a good product."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
 

Cons

"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The product could always be more secure."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"Annual licensing."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"I don't pay for a license."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little expensive."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
