Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"The platform is very scalable."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"I like their customer support."
"ThreatConnect has a highly user-friendly interface."
"We have been able to see a return on investment as our clients believe in us more."
"It's a solid platform and is stable enough. It is not complicated and is easy to use."
"The product automatically generated a threat score based on the maliciousness of an IP."
"The tool's installation, integration, and playbooks are very straightforward."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and the ability to customize it."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"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."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"Support is an area with which nobody is ever fully satisfied, so it can be improved."
"They should make it a little bit easier to generate events and share them with the community"
"I couldn’t get any training videos online when I was working with the tool."
"Integration is an area that could use some improvement."
"It would be good to have more feeds and more integrated sources for enrichment."
"I would like to see improvements in the time zone support of their customer service, considering users are from different time zones."
"Sometimes, when using the solution, it slows down, affecting our ability to mitigate threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"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."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The price of this product is in the mid-range, not too expensive, nor inexpensive."
"The price could be better."
"The tool is expensive."
"I rate the product price as six on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten means it is cheap."
