Stable but bad technical support, and an out of date database

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 solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."
"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
 

Cons

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."
"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."
"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
