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

"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"The scalability is good."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"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 management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"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."
