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.

Easy to deploy, scalable, but the UI needs work
We use the solution for LLC merchants, threat advisories, and research The solution is adding a more contextually rich and higher fidelity enrichment to our IOCs. Integration is the most valuable feature. The web front end of the UI is a bit clunky and has room for improvement. I would like a…

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."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"Integration is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"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."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"I would like a more universal search."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
