What is the biggest difference between CrowdStrike and Cylance?

Both Cylance and CrowdStrike are amongst the few top of the market in terms or endpoint protection. CrowdStrike was considered among the top 5 in 2017 and Cylance was considered the same in 2019. As they are both highly effective, CrowdStrike is very unique in its user-friendliness, while Cylance is very unique for its minimum utilization of computer's resources. If you compare initial pricing, you would go with Cylance, but you can always negotiate with both to get the best offers.

Gained full visibility and streamlined threat detection through behavior-based insights and AI integration

Initially, we got to have a lot of false positives when we onboarded, but nowadays it's quite smooth. We have fine-tuned our security policies and allowed different levels of policies to get rid of those false positives. Currently, we are getting a fairly good amount of incidents that are not false positives or benign, but actionable items. The process is streamlined. In the initial days, the operations used to get involved in a lot of benign and other activities, but now the process is streamlined. We are leveraging the auto-detection and remediation plans. The operations teams are now more involved in other business roles as well, not just looking into the logs and fetching out what's happening there. They have fixed a lot of things. Initially, they didn't have IAC code drift detection, cloud posture management, or security posture management, but they have those now. They purchased different vendors and did a merger with that. They have now Prisma Cloud that gets integrated and now they are working with Cortex Cloud. Everything that was negative has now been addressed, and the product altogether looks to be in a very better and mature shape now. Currently, it's more or less detecting the workloads with AI-based best practices. Since most organizations are consuming AI agents and other things, we are looking forward to seeing what other feature enhancements Palo Alto can support in that.

Doesn't have daily updates, which is important for healthcare IT

I face challenges with the exclusion policy - it still scans folders we told it not to, causing issues. When we contact support, they tell us to update the latest agent, but we can't do that immediately due to medical device protocols and validation testing. I wish support would try to understand our issues better instead of giving this standard response. The machine learning feature they use often tells us to upgrade the agent or add things to the exclusion list, which isn't unacceptable. It's a very good and new technology as a tool and antivirus. But sometimes, it doesn't work properly with our medical devices and products, quarantining files it shouldn't even after we add them to exclusions. This is tricky for us.

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 solution is a new generation XDR that has a lot of artificial intelligence modules."

"Cortex is a very good total solution on the endpoints."

"Has great threat detection capabilities."

"Since they've done their most recent update, the ease to isolate endpoints is valuable. If we find one where there is a virus on it, we can easily isolate it. We don't even have to contact the user. We don't have to manually take them off the network. We can easily isolate them."

"They did what they said, and this solution could apply to any scenario."

"Cortex XDR features advanced threat detection capabilities."

"Automation and playbooks have helped me significantly, as Cortex Xnor's playbooks predefine the workflow of the automation, such as response processes, alert triggering, and enriching the context, efficiently detecting and blocking malicious attacks with firewalls while eliminating workload and speeding responses for next-generation operations."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is easy to use and does not consume a lot of hardware resources."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pros

"It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating."

"The initial endpoint cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year), but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution of Cylance endpoint protection provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."

"The initial setup of CylancePROTECT is very easy."

"I rate the tool a ten out of ten when it comes to the ease of use or management part."

"A user can continue to add endpoints and the solution will continue to perform well."

"The non-daily requirement to update signatures is the most valuable feature. From a functional point of view, it is pretty spot on. For instance, we compared an algorithm from five years ago to today's algorithm, and it was 98% accurate. It has the ability to detect and mitigate. In the industrial environment that we work in, there's what we call OT versus IT. You are IT Central, but this is OT. Generally, we don't have the same level of skillset as IT individuals or IT professionals have. This particular product doesn't require you to be a computer scientist to be able to understand its proprietary algorithm and to be able to deploy, use, and work within it. It integrates well with a robust SIEM or SOAR solution, and it plays nice with others. We use other detection solutions like CyberX or site provision with Cisco, and it plays nice. That's one of the things we really liked about it."

"Its setup is simple if you have a Windows device; it is executable."

"Two or three years ago when the WannaCry virus struck, the people that were on Cylance were the ones that weren't affected."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."

"We use it to monitor everything related to the activity and to block any malicious activity."

"The benefits I have seen from having multiple security capabilities on a single platform are that you get to see things at different angles."

"My advice to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon is that there is really nothing else comparable to it."

"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 benefits I've seen from having multiple security capabilities on a single platform include a single pane of glass, the ability to contain and eradicate threats easier, and the value I've seen from having endpoint, identity, cloud, and other security telemetry in the same CrowdStrike Falcon platform makes it easy to use one path to focus on specific threats and be able to correlate them together, especially with advanced search and using the graph."

"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."

"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

Cons

"There are some default policies which sometimes affect our applications and cause them to run around."

"If you compare it to SentinelOne, which has more functionalities and detection capabilities on an open platform, the pricing on SentinelOne is far more reasonable and cheaper than Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks."

"A potential area of improvement for Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is the cost."

"It should support more mobile operating systems. That is one of the cons of their infrastructure right now."

"This is a very costly product."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is not only pricey; it is extremely expensive."

"The dashboard could use some significant improvement, just making it more useful with more information. It has a limited amount of information right now. It is customizable, but I'd love to see a better out-of-box dashboard."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks could improve by adding a sandbox feature to better compete with their competitors which have it."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks cons

"The company that sells us the licenses sometimes doesn't know how to do certain things."

"It just doesn't make you feel like you're getting covered or have the best protection, which you should have."

"We would like to see secure integration and multi-factor authentication to be able to access the administration dashboard."

"It's a good solution but some features just need to be updated."

"The process of whitelisting a script that you want to be able to run can be a little bit difficult, or awkward."

"I find the price for Blackberry Protect expensive, so that's an area for improvement."

"The stability could be improved."

"The product does not do a lot of reporting on what it is taking care of. Enhanced reporting would be a welcome improvement."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity cons

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved, but they were resolved relatively quickly."

"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."

"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."

"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."

"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem."

"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."

"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."

"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a yearly renewal."

"The solution is expensive. It's pricing is on a yearly-basis."

"I don't like that they have different types of licenses."

"Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks is quite an expensive solution."

"When we first bought it, it was a bit expensive, but it was worth it. The licensing was straightforward."

"The pricing is a little bit on the expensive side."

"If one wishes to work with another team or large number of users at a future point, he must purchase a license for them."

"I am using the Community edition."

More Cortex XDR by Palo Alto Networks pricing and cost advice

"My company is on a yearly CylancePROTECT subscription. Price-wise, the solution is slightly expensive, so I'd rate it as eight out of ten."

"Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night."

"The licensing part of the product is too expensive compared to other solutions in the market."

"We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user."

"CylancePROTECT is worth the money, but I'm not sure of its exact price. I can't remember off the top of my head."

"The solution's pricing is around the same as most EDRs but slightly behind some of the major ones."

"We went through a third party initially to do the renewal, but we won't be renewing, we will move on to something else."

"The initial end-point cost may seem a little high (~$55/device/year) but when you look at the total peace of mind that the solution provides, with no reboots for updates, and negligible performance impact, it is well worth it."

More BlackBerry Cylance Cybersecurity pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."

"We are at about $60,000 per year."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."

"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."

I never used Cylance. We installed CrowdStrike on 6/6/19 and aside from a test file have had zero hits. CrowdStrike has some additional features available (at a cost). One that I am looking at is device control for USB storage devices for policy enforcement. Syslogs are being absorbed by my SIEM as well.
