Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The simplicity of implementation is valuable.""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 most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition.""Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled.""I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector.""Scalability hasn't been an issue for us.""The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed.""The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control.""CrowdStrike Falcon is a very light solution. It does not use too much processor or RAM.""CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."

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."

"The performance could be better.""In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features.""The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility.""The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting.""The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies.""Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do.""I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement.""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."

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."
