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.
Amit-Sarkar - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-manage and deploy solution, but it should provide open customization
You don't need a certification or great knowledge to manage and deploy the solution because it's not complex. It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want. Kandji doesn't require much customization because it has built-in features that we have to create manually otherwise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a very easy plug-and-play solution where you can just enroll the devices and choose the features you want."
 

Cons

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"The performance could be better."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."
"Kandji should give open customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"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."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"The product is expensive."
"The price is too high."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Kandji, which is expensive."
