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.

A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup

The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."

"The initial setup is a very fast process."

"The solution can scale easily."

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."

"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."

"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."

"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."

"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."

"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."

"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."

"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."

"The technical support is excellent."

"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."

"The solution is very stable."

Cons

"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."

"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."

"Forensic controls have room for improvement."

"The management of the solution could improve."

"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."

"The UI is not efficient."

"Too many false positives."

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."

"There were minor UI bugs."

"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."

"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."

"Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process."

"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."

"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."

"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."

"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."

"The product is expensive."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."

"The product is affordable and user-friendly."

"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."

"EnCase is an affordable solution."
