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.
Yusuf_Hashmi - PeerSpot reviewer
Good discovery and vulnerability features and is easy to use
I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management. It gives me the ability to identify potential weaknesses in my environment quickly. Once those vulnerabilities get identified on the console, it is only a matter of performing those actions. I would rate it nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
 

Cons

"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"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."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"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."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address. Sometimes they behave abruptly, requiring me to rework reinstalling the sensors on the endpoints."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"The price is too high."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"The pricing is fair."
