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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pay-as-you-go model enabled me to deploy quickly from the AWS Marketplace management account, scaled protection for workloads without upfront commitments, and reduced the initial operational overhead."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"Auto-Remediation"
 

Cons

"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"I recommend that some deep-dive trainings are required for the NG SIEM, specifically for their next-generation SIEM module, as they need some basic trainings for that."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"Reporting system could be improved."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"The pricing is high."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
