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.

Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities

The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX ( /products/zerofox-reviews ) portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

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 features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."

"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."

"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."

"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."

"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."

"I like the Overwatch feature the most."

"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."

"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."

"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."

Cons

"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."

"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."

"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."

"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."

"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."

"The management of the solution could improve."

"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."

"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."

"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."

"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

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

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"This solution has a very competitive price."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
