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

"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."

"The stability is very good."

"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."

"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."

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

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."

"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."

"The initial setup is a very fast process."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"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."

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

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

"The solution is very stable."

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

Cons

"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."

"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"

"This solution is relatively expensive."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."

"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."

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

"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

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

"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."

"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."

"There were minor UI bugs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is too high."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"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."

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."

"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."

"Annual licensing."

"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"EnCase is an affordable solution."

"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."
