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.

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

"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."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The most beneficial features of CrowdStrike Falcon are that it is easy to install, easy to manage, lightweight, and it can stop breaches."
"The scalability is good."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
