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 has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."

"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."

"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."

"It's very easy to set up."

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

"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."

"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is a perfect product for endpoint security."

"The insight that the solution provides is the most valuable aspect. The security scanning they do is excellent."

"The ease of deployment has been good."

"The most valuable feature of Datto EDR is the visibility of the endpoints."

Cons

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."

"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."

"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"

"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."

"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."

"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."

"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."

"The deployment of the solution right now is terrible. We find it to be very bad. It could be improved enormously."

"The solution could improve by having more deployment methods."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"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."

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."

"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."

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

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"There is an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution can be expensive depending on the company."

"Datto Endpoint Detection and Response is not an expensive solution."
