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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The UI is not efficient."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
