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 solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."

"Everything you need to know is right there in a single dashboard."

"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."

"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."

"We've had security incidents that occurred and within a matter of just a couple of minutes, they were completely remediated and fixed and we didn't even have to think about it."

"So far, in the past three years, they've been absolutely great."

"My advice for others is to purchase the solution it is simple to use and effective."

"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The product gives us a lot of insight."

"Tenable EP is a great overall product for our customers; it's great at helping customers to identify current risks, it helps customers manage their risk, users can effectively analyze risk and can assign team members to take a look at items as well, the solution is very easy to set up, technical support is very helpful and responsive, and the pricing is pretty good."

"For me, the setup has been an easy process."

"The solution is very easy to set up."

"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."

"I think it's a good product for risk-based or exposure-based vulnerability management."

Cons

"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."

"The performance could be better."

"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."

"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell."

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"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."

"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."

"The license needs to be reviewed."

"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. 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"Annual licensing."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."

"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."

"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
