Pros
"Its ability to deliver a substantial amount of security intelligence greatly enhances and optimizes our security operations program.""The most valuable features of Cortex XSIAM are the machine learning used to identify threats, the complexity of the environment of products, and efficiency.""It is an effective solution in terms of performance and functionalities.""It operates on a single, extensive database which enables it to excel in detecting threats and anomalies across the network and endpoints, delivering a highly effective and comprehensive security solution."

More Cortex XSIAM Pros →

"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software.""Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures.""I like the Overwatch feature the most.""Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon.""The feature I like the most is the solution's detection.""The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities.""The detection is very effective.""The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."

Cons
"The support could be a bit faster.""The solution’s pricing and technical support could be improved.""The platform isn't very developer-friendly and it should provide more flexibility and ease.""Further integration capabilities with various other software products that can seamlessly tie into Cortex XSIAM would be advantageous."

More Cortex XSIAM Cons →

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API.""The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak.""Technical support could be better than what is currently offered.""It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful.""CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR.""The management of the solution could improve.""We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler.""The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."

  • "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."
