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.

High fidelity cyber incident detection is near in real-time, enabling proactive & timely mitigation efforts
The nature of the system means it has to be implemented throughout the organizations. You need to implement it on the network layer, the email layer, the web proxy layer, and also the endpoints. Nevertheless, endpoint monitoring is very challenging due to the lack of automated method to install the endpoint agents. In one of our customer case, we have about 40,000 endpoints and we need to have a simplified method of deployment if we're going to implement the endpoint monitoring effectively. Product features also need some improvement in creating custom signatures for detection because that is not open to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"Great automatic correlation of all internal activities."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"Monitoring the endpoint could be improved, it requires a huge effort."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The price is too high."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"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 price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
