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.

It's a complete solution package
When I go into the portal, I can see how many endpoints are enrolled or how many of them are active in place. I can see the current number of threats that are there in the organization. How many threats have been identified, etc. I can see which endpoint the critical events are coming in from a security aspect.

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 most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The product is expensive."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The pricing is six out of ten."
