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

"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."

"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."

"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."

"The product provides good monitoring features."

"I like the Overwatch feature the most."

"The solution can scale easily."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

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

"Too many false positives."

"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."

"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."

"Forensic controls have room for improvement."

"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."

"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."

"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The solution should allow the automation of playbooks."

"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."

"The inclusion of web filtering would be good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."

"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
