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.
Alejandro Stromer - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and scalable hybrid solution with easy setup
The solution is scalable. It has three levels. You have the presentation area that can be escalated to the balance sheet. You have the back-end area that can be escalated using higher viability to configure more application servers. Also, the area of storage can be increased. We usually cater to enterprise solutions but have small- and medium-sized customers. It starts with 25 users and goes up to 100s and 1000s.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an easy product to deploy."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"The stability is very good."
"The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."
"The solution is very stable."
"It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."
"Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis."
"The technical support is excellent."
"I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc."
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use."
"It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts."
 

Cons

"The pricing is a bit too high."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email."
"I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."
"The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better."
"​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​"
"Ease of use and learning curve need improvement."
"In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow."
"There were minor UI bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The price is too high."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"EnCase is an affordable solution."
"​The product is affordable and user-friendly.​"
"We have a license. And, we found the cost high. We contacted them and talked to them about the ratio of the US dollar versus the Indian rupee and then we came to a solution."
