Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to implement and is very scalable. It also comes with very good documentation. Cisco provides good technical support as well.""The simplicity of implementation is valuable.""The most valuable feature is the integration with firewalls. It's integrated with AMP so the ecosystem with equal solutions from Threat Grid is good with CISCO products."

More Cisco Threat Grid Pros →

"The detection is very effective.""CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools.""We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment.""The stability is very good.""We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems.""I like the Overwatch feature the most.""Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures.""CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."

Cons
"Support must be improved.""I was told that the user interface could be more user friendly and easy in comparison to that of competitors. I remember that there is a competitor who has a much easier interface for many users to interact with.""They come in and have multiple management solutions but it doesn't scan or doesn't have the ability to look at every file extension."

More Cisco Threat Grid Cons →

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection.""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.""A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined.""In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature.""The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool.""CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API.""The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
  • More Cisco Threat Grid Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
  • "I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
  • "Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
  • "The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
  • "We are at about $60,000 per year."
  • "This solution has a very competitive price."
  • "Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
