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.

Great features, good support, and lots of functionality
I'm an end-user. We use the solution on multiple clouds. I'd advise users to validate which product and metrics will help them the most. The solution has multiple functionalities. Don't go in blindly. Know what you want to get out of the product. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten based on the scalability potential.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The solution offers great stability."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The product is expensive."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
