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 initial setup is a very fast process."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"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."
"The feature of vulnerability management and discovery is what I use."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."
 

Cons

"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"One area for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon could be the user interface and reports; it requires some improvements to be easily handled."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"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."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
"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 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 license needs to be reviewed."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The pricing is fair."
