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.

Provides great technical support and is very scalable
It is used for detailed analysis.  I want the command to be quicker. The scalability is an eight out of ten.  The technical support is responsive and quick.  Positive We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The scalability is an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"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."
"The UI is not efficient."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"I want the command to be quicker."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The price is too high."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"We have to pay five to ten thousand dollars for this solution."
