The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature.

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.
Ansar Monideen - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides almost all the SIEM features offered by the leaders at a low cost
Gurucul's data enrichment could be improved. As a security professional, I want to consolidate all these log sources and data to the user, entity, or resource. More advancements are required, especially in enriching security data or attack response. I would like to see more improvements there. The documentation could also be better. Every user and resource has a timeline that lists all the events so we can analyze that particular system and what is happening. We would like to have an option where we can only list the confirmed security threat-related activities for a particular user rather than all activities. This way, we can see what kind of risk is reported for this user and be able to monitor them better.
