Endpoint defense has delivered strong incident response and supports deep behavior analytics
They should listen more to their community. They need to do a lot more bundling of things as part of it instead of treating everything as an upgrade or an enhancement. The problem that is hurting them is that there is a cost all the time for upgrading. They are late in the game. When you look at Exabeam, they have always been focused on behavior analytics. This new journey into that era has enhanced it because it provides detection and baselining of behavior when someone is using that endpoint. It is an added feature that has benefited the enterprise in terms of defensive depth. It is definitely a good feature.
Centralized security has protected hybrid workloads and provides deep visibility into cloud traffic
Cloud-native automation and IaC: Terraform support, auto-scaling templates, and API maturity lag behind Palo Alto VM-Series and FortiGate-VM. Dynamically scaling in public cloud requires more manual effort. Third-party integrations and ecosystem: fewer native connectors with SIEM/SOAR platforms, CSPM, and third-party tools compared to market leaders. Documentation and training material: technical documentation and community resources (forums, tutorials, KB) are more limited, which lengthens the learning curve for new teams. SASE/SSE capabilities: the integrated SASE/ZTNA offering is less mature compared to the convergence already provided by Fortinet or Palo Alto. Centralized multi-instance management: managing large fleets of virtual appliances could be smoother; centralized management (HSM) works, but some users would like more granularity and automation.

Cons

"I see drawbacks in CrowdStrike in the application field, where it detects if applications get used or not."
"They should listen more to their community."
"At this moment, I do see that CrowdStrike could improve on how they handle the AI-related threats on cybersecurity, as we are not very familiar with that and don't have enough information on how CrowdStrike is going to deal with that part."
"The only negative thing I can think of for CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is the web managing interface."
"Additional automation resources for AWS would also be helpful."
"The setup cost is more expensive with similar features."
