Easy and quick credential monitoring; tech support could be improved
Our primary use case for this solution is as a threat intelligence platform. We stream various threat feeds into this platform. We also make correlations between the feeds to duplicate the data, aggregate it and then present it to our security solutions for advanced security The way that this…

Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I have found most valuable is credential monitoring. This feature is easy and quick."
"I have found Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) very useful and concise. The solution is easy to use."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
 

Cons

"A lot of tools can give you many features, such as CTI intelligence and a tax service reduction. However, many people are combining different tools together to have more capabilities. It is up to the consumer whether they want to have multiple tools or have one tool that serves the purpose. Anomali Enterprise could improve by combining all the other tools' features into one solution."
"Less code in integration would be nice when building blocks."
"The price is too high."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing the price of Anomali Enterprise to other solutions it is in the medium to high range. However, I am satisfied with the price."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"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."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
