CrowdStrike Falcon is way ahead of Symantec, and covers features that defender XDR doesn't, even if you purchase all the addons. I think the only real competitors are Sentinel One, maybe Palo Alto or Huntress, or Carbon Black.

CrowdStrike FalconPortSwigger Burp Suite
Likelihood to Recommend
CrowdStrike Falcon is ideal for large, cloud-native enterprises that prioritize advanced behavioral detection and have a mature SOC to manage their intelligence. However, its cloud-reliant architecture makes it a poor fit for air-gapped or offline networks. Additionally, small organizations with limited staffing may find it difficult to manage, while teams that require integrated SOAR and vulnerability management might be discouraged by the need for additional licensing to unlock those capabilities.

It's great for intercepting and changing login request. For one client i had done testing of their website, and after intercepting and changing the request, I got IDOR vulnerability and it's a very high vulnerability i gave it in the report, and with the BAPP store, I downloaded the IIS TILDE enumeration and got a vulnerability.

  • The passive scan feature is really awesome, it kind of covers areas that you might miss.
  • The CSRF POC is really helpful to my team. It helps development team see the issue and understand it.
  • Burp intruder and repeater are the features I myself and my team uses the most as it helps us use our payloads in a variety of different ways.
  • Active scan helps the team to ensure coverage for the whole application.

  • The interface is a big problem: No matter how many features a software provides you, if the features are not well presented, you will miss most of them when they are actually required. The presentation of the software should be improvised and made more presentable.
  • Tutorial videos for beginners: This software lacks a lot in tutorials. A beginner almost wastes most of the time in finding and understanding the features and the implementation of the same. The software vendor should work on providing more in-depth videos so that people can learn and understand the concepts.

Crowdstrike has a large suite of tools built for helping the engineers triage and respond to security event whenever identified. The ability to customize the security policies and implement more granular policies to different devices based on the functionality is unmatched. Crowdstrike provides so much of ability in a decent budget which ascertains the value for money or ROI.

Usability
I think it is a complete and very trustful XDR platform, with very few False Positives. It is very well supported by highly skilled professionals on all levels: from pre-sales engineers, Customer Account Managers and support engineers.

Easy to use once you learn it; however, the user interface is not very intuitive at first view. Port Swigger does provide a lot of video resources for self-paced learning which helps. Most of the end users for PortSwigger Burp Suite will be technical and should be able to learn the product with the free resources.

Support Rating
Support is generally pretty fast and gets right to the issue. We haven't had to use them much, fortunately, but the issues and questions we've had are usually answered quickly. The customer success manager/account manager you're assigned will also follow up with you on a regular cadence to ensure you're getting the most out of the subscription. There's not a whole lot of room to improve, other than the general confusion about what is/what is not covered in custom packages you're subscribed to. The initial purchase took much longer because of a package name changes and realignments of different modules into those packages.

BurpSuite does not have an amazing customer support. All the major help that you will find is from public forums and Google. Although you will find all the required information on Google, still at time professional support helps you solve the problem in much less time and make your operations go smoothly.

There is limited amount of learning that can be completed in an in-person training available. In my opinion, the self-paced learning provided by Falcon portal is more useful over in-person training. The support from Falcon is great and useful to overcome difficulties, if any.

The training provided by Crowdstrike Falcon is complete in terms of the depth of technical knowledge and teaches the users about going through with the platform. There are lots of jargons for different tools that Crowdstrike Falcon has and this training teaches them all which helps in managing the platform better. Plus, the regular knowledge checks are also very helpful for the end user.

I have evaluated Cortex XDR and SentinelOne Singularity alongside CrowdStrike Falcon, and while all three are capable enterprise-grade solutions, Falcon ultimately stood out due to its cloud-native architecture, broader modular coverage, and stronger identity-focused detection. Cortex XDR performs very well in environments already heavily invested in the Palo Alto ecosystem, particularly for network-to-endpoint correlation, but it introduces additional complexity and infrastructure overhead. SentinelOne excels in autonomous remediation and offline protection, especially with ransomware rollback, but is more endpoint-centric and comparatively limited in native identity and exposure-risk context. CrowdStrike Falcon provided the best overall balance by combining NGAV, EDR, identity protection, exposure management, threat intelligence, and managed hunting within a single lightweight agent and unified console, enabling better scalability, faster investigations, reduced tool sprawl, and stronger protection against modern identity-driven attacks, making it the most aligned choice for our security and operational objectives.

Burp Suite stacks up fairly well against these other two products both of which are quite expensive to license. The best other product I would suggest is OWASP Zed Attack Proxy or ZAP. It performs quite well and the cost of the product is free. ZAP is an Open Source product. If, however, you do not want to use an open source product I would either go with Burp Suite or look into the more expensive Rapid7 AppSpider.

Return on Investment
  • Due to some of the difficulties with Support and Sales, we are likely looking to change to another vendor. We sometimes don't feel like customers.
  • When the bluescreen incident occurred (worldwide outage) in July 2024, we were unable to contact support due to the high volume of calls at the same time. We had to figure out how to remediate it ourselves, which we did, and recovered before the vendor's official release of fixes. It shook my confidence in them.
  • The product itself performed well over the last 2 years, which has kept us safe and productive. The product is good.

  • Scanned 100% of the orgs public facing web sites with a small team of analysts.
  • Provided a reputable second opinion source to back up the other product in use i.e. Webinspect.
  • Pro version $350 is amazing ROI, considering the thwarted attacks and that it's competition is priced in the tens of thousands last I checked.
  • No successful hacks. Q.E.D. :-)
