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.

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 feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"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."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
