Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Specialist at Arab Open University
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.

Has improved our vulnerability tracking and supports cloud-based monitoring with scheduled scans
We don't have any issues with Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. It works well for us, but the only problem is the licensing aspect. In the license, it becomes problematic because when we go to cloud security for vulnerability management, it will take five licenses instead of the one-on-one license that vulnerability exposure management requires. The license needs to be reviewed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The detection is very effective."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"We find Tenable One Exposure Management Platform vulnerability prioritization effective overall because, with the scheduled scan running on our set schedule, we can remediate any findings and check on the next schedule if issues are closed, making it much easier for us to monitor vulnerabilities."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
 

Cons

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"I don't think anything is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon, but if they can manage their SOC solution instead of users or the end users or customers doing that, it will be very useful, just as Sophos does."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The license needs to be reviewed."
"The sensor update is a challenge that Tenable needs to address."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"The pricing is fair."
