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

"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"The solution can scale easily."
"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The scalability is good."
"They have multiple great features."
 

Cons

"We sometimes get false positives."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annual licensing."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"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."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"The price is too high."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
