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.

An easy-to-implement solution that provides good reporting features and protects users’ AD infrastructure
We use Tenable Identity Exposure for our customers who have legacy AD still in use to see any exposure and protect their AD infrastructure as much as possible The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great. From the start, you get to see the exposure of your AD. So, it doesn't need…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"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."
"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
