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.

A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
 

Cons

"The UI is not efficient."
"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
