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

"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."
"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."
 

Cons

"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"The product's technical support services could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"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."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
