I haven't explored cost-saving aspects or utilized integration capabilities within BloodHound. Additionally, I haven't used AI features in Broadcom for threat detection yet, leaving that to our IT team to handle. If you're already familiar with the field, learning to use BloodHound Enterprise shouldn't be too tricky as the UI is user-friendly and the features are straightforward. I'd rate my overall experience around an eight, mainly due to occasional performance issues and deeper operational concerns. However, in terms of features, UI, and ease of use, it's top-notch.

Centralized endpoint protection has strengthened compliance and accelerated incident response
There are a number of areas that I only touch a handful of times, but when I get in there, I realize why I don't do that. The main area would be within the support area. The support bot is not really as smart as you would expect it, especially in this day and age of LLM and other capabilities that I know CrowdStrike Falcon is already capable of doing. Additionally, I would appreciate a little bit more easy to read insights of some of the dashboards or maybe manipulation of the dashboards. It is still a little cumbersome to build custom dashboards and it's not as intuitive as you would think. Documentation is abysmal and needs to be improved dramatically. I know that there's a big effort to do this, however, even the new effort is honestly worse than it was before. Those are definitely major areas of improvement, just more in the usability of the features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The custom Cypress queries in BloodHound Enterprise is the most valuable feature."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"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."
"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."
"When something is detected you can log into the GUI and you can get very specific details about what happened."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon is that it is a very powerful tool that provides a lot of insights."
"Using CrowdStrike Falcon has changed the way my security team detects, investigates, and responds to threats in an excellent way that enables us to see threats ahead of time and provides us with reports so we are able to see how we are lagging behind."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
 

Cons

"A few months ago, there was a problem with the digesters having trouble importing data from the normal digesters, a significant issue that needed attention."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"So far, the benefits I have seen from having multiple security capabilities on a single platform have been limited, but based on the testing, we see that it is identifying threats and it has shown us proactive capabilities to shut down the threats."
"For further improvements, I can only think of one example because this is very important for us; they could reduce the price. Then it would deserve a rating of seven."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can improve their supportability of legacy devices."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
