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.

Advanced cybersecurity solution for attack based vulnerability mng. and upskill platform for SOC.
While Cymulate's technology shows great promise and delivers excellent results, their approach to positioning the solution appears to overlap with other companies like Tenable, making them both direct and indirect competitors. Cymulate must refine their messaging and manage expectations effectively. In my experience, they need to be more attentive internally and mindful of potential negative impacts on customers. They exhibit a high degree of flexibility, which can result in sudden changes without adequate alerting. Communicating with them via phone for business matters can be challenging. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cymulate's technology level at eight, but their business level at four 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

"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
 

Cons

"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"The price is too high."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
"The product is affordable."
