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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
 

Cons

"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"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."
"There were minor UI bugs."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
