Sentiment score

I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
These problems were not frequent, and the last six to eight months have been stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Users desire improved dashboard functionality, integration, machine learning, and interface enhancements with cost-effective options for better threat management.
Exabeam needs better flexibility, integration, clearer documentation, enhanced dashboards, faster support, improved UI, and reduced false positives.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
I have explored the SaaS version; it offers many new features.
Exabeam needs to improve its documentation and provide more customization for dashboards and case management.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon is pricier than competitors but valued for strong security, flexible features, and excellent support.
Exabeam offers reasonable pricing with flexible models, though not the cheapest, it's competitively priced compared to some competitors.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon excels with real-time threat detection, cloud-native flexibility, and seamless integration, enhancing endpoint security and management.
Exabeam excels with advanced analytics, intuitive interface, seamless integration, automation, and machine learning for enhanced security and ease of use.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
CrowdStrike handled it effectively. It was not detected by the credential vendor, and it was our new code.
The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature.
The product offers useful features like the dashboard, timeline, and session views, which enhance our security tools.
Exabeam's AI capabilities, like the natural language mode, convert natural language into Exabeam queries, enhancing ease of use.

Featured Reviews

Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Stephen-Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
The SIEM provides a user-friendly UI experience
When events come into the system, the dashboard categorizes them by the highest risk score, not when they appear on the system. When you've got multiple ongoing incidents you can only see the highest risk score at the top of the list rather than the most recent detection. Exabeam's reporting dashboard could have included a filtering option to filter by the most recent detection.
