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.

Reduces organizational risk, low on machine load, and helps prevent ransomware
The most important aspect of the solution is that the load on the machine is not very high. It doesn't take up battery resources. The solution prevents ransomware and other threats. So far, it is working brilliantly. The dashboards and UI are user friendly, as is the ability to configure as needed. It seems to have a lot more capabilities. The XDR capabilities, in particular, look very strong. We're currently looking into that. If we want to do integrations with third parties, we don't have very many challenges around that. The ability to ingest and correlate across our security solutions is very useful. It's impressive. The AI engine it has is excellent. It helps us consolidate our security solutions. While it does not allow us to reduce alerts per se, it does a good job of correlating. The way it's integrated into the SIM, it's working to the expectations we have. The solution helps free up people so that they can work on other tasks. We don't have to grow our team too much now. My security team is actually quite small - about five people. We all get more time to handle other tasks. We've noted that it does help reduce mean time to respond. We can identify events easier and those that are most critical are brought to the forefront. Previously, we were in the dark. Now we have so much more visibility. It's been a huge improvement. It's effectively helped to reduce organizational risk.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"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."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The console is light years better than the CrowdStrike console, which had just a bunch of different screens cobbled together. It is much more unified and much easier to work with. It is very nicely designed."
"It identifies what applications are vulnerable. If I go to the applications, such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Reader, I can see our current list of vulnerabilities: How many are vulnerable and how many need to be updated with patching. One of the most valuable aspects is the ease of finding specific vulnerabilities."
"I find the product very easy to maintain and troubleshoot. Their engineers are very helpful if you need additional assistance. It's one of the best products I've used. It's easy to use from my standpoint, both for troubleshooting and with the support we get from their team if necessary."
"Scalable endpoint protection solution that takes seconds to set up per device. It has a rollback feature and offers good technical support."
"The anti-ransomware capability to analyze the threats and user-friendliness are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are threat hunting, the ability to disconnect or disable a machine's network connection in real time, and the ability to restore the connection once the issue is resolved quickly."
"It's quite scalable."
"The offline protection offered by SentinelOne Singularity Complete for my devices is valuable."
 

Cons

"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."
"The performance could be better."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"SentinelOne's performance and the accuracy of its incident filtering could be improved."
"One thing I don't like is the exportable report. They're they're not as useful as I'd hoped they would be."
"They can improve the administrative interface. They can make it more user-friendly."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete takes up a lot of memory in Google Chrome, which sometimes causes it to lag, so this is an area for improvement. The solution could be improved by increasing its efficiency within the web browser."
"When comparing SentinelOne to CrowdStrike, I find that CrowdStrike has more comprehensive vulnerability assessment tools."
"As a cloud-based product, there is a minimum number of licenses that need to be purchased, which is unfortunate."
"This solution would be more attractive to customers if the price were lower."
"I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"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."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"It is very affordable and easy to license, and it allows us to onboard new analysts quickly, with a turnaround time of one day at most."
"The cost of utilizing all the features of SentinelOne Singularity Complete is high."
"The solution's price/performance ratio is reasonable."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete is reasonably priced."
"USD$6 per end point which decreases as end points increase."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete can be expensive for the SMB market but is suitable for enterprise-level organizations."
"The price is costly compared to what we were previously paying with Microsoft Defender and McAfee."

You should do a test with both solutions for your client. Technically both solutions should perform very well but no one can tell which platform is more "you". That said, the main difference is Overwatch where security staff from CrowdStrike does some threat hunting on your tenant (and that is pricey because there are actual persons doing something for you). S1 does that kind of work only in th...
