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

"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
 

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."
"Support must be improved."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I remember correctly, the licensing cost is a little bit higher than that of the competitor."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"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."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
