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.

We can make more informed decisions on whether an action is malicious

The ease of use and dashboards are improving. We came in at a time when they were developing a new dashboard screen. Therefore, we have had some confusing times between the old and new dashboards. Knowing how the new one works, I have seen vast improvements with it. While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper. They are improving on this because I have seen some improvements in the user interface that helps with this. Part of it was moving two different screens into one, merging the two together. It is very good, but it is very technically detailed and would be harder for an entry-level person to decipher. However, improvements are being made. It leverages indicators of behavior to help us remediate faster against attacks. Sometimes, I wish there was more detail on why they consider it malicious.

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 features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."

"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."

"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"I like the Overwatch feature the most."

"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."

"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."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The solution is efficient."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"Cybereason's threat hunting and investigation are the most valuable features. Threat hunting is a user-friendly feature that keeps you safe. Investigation offers an added value that I haven't seen with other EDR services. It allows you to find specific policy problems within your environment."

"What I like most about Cybereason Endpoint Detection & Response is the support because the support is good. The solution is also easy to use, and it has a dashboard. Everything is good, and there's no problem with it."

"Immediately we can pick up the computers in the network if any malicious operation that is triggered."

"The initial setup is not overly complicated."

"Cybereason absolutely enables us to mitigate and isolate on the fly. Our managed detection response telemetry has dropped dramatically since we began using it. It's very top-of-mind. We were running some tabletop exercises and none of the detections were getting triggered by the managed security services provider. So we needed to find a solution that would trigger high-fidelity alerts. That was Cybereason and it dramatically changed our landscape from the detection and response perspective."

Cons

"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

"The performance could be better."

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."

"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."

"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."

"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The reporting feature needs improvement."

"I feel that the product lacks reporting features and needs improvement."

"It should be more stable, and the sensor needs improvement in terms of connectivity."

"They need to improve their technical support services."

"There is room for improvement in the product features related to device control, particularly USB management."

"The network coverage becomes an issue most of the time."

"The deployment on individual endpoints is more geared toward larger organizations. It might prove to be a bit too complicated for a smaller organization. You need to know what you're doing when you're deploying the sensor."

"While the product is very good, there are still some areas for improvement. The initial triage area could be a bit simpler. They get into the weeds real fast; it gets very detailed very fast. I am still looking for an easier triage layer on top with the ability to dig deeper."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."

"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."

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Though it is not the cheapest solution but it fits our budget. We pay an annual licensing fee."

"I had to go through a third-party to purchase it, which I wasn't really pleased about."

"In terms of cost, this is a good choice for our needs."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The pricing is manageable."

"I do not have experience with the licensing of the product."

"We considered a few other solutions. Some were ridiculously overpriced, while others didn't have solutions for Mac endpoints. That was a deal-breaker because most of our organization is on Mac. It came down to two vendors: Cybereason and another. They had similar pitches and almost identical approaches, but in the end, Cybereason gave us the best value for our money."

"This product is somewhat expensive and should be cheaper."
