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 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.""The simplicity of implementation is valuable."

"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled.""The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections.""The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system.""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.""I like the Overwatch feature the most.""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.""I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good.""The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."

Cons
"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.""Support must be improved."

More Cisco Threat Grid Cons →

"Forensic controls have room for improvement.""Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey.""The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better.""The product could be more accurate in terms of performance.""There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it.""We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved.""CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR.""The detection time has room for improvement."

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."
