How CrowdStrike Falcon Differs From Its Competitors

Consolidation of Tools

We use EDR and Device Control at present. I have been trying out the NG-SIEM but finding it is not at a level that I would expect. I think Azure Sentinel / Google Chronicle are much further ahead in terms of integrations and correlation rules. At the current state, I would not pay for CrowdStrike …

I feel that CrowdStrike Falcon shouldn't try to cover multiple products. I think there are competitors focusing on a specific niche and doing a much better job (e.g. Wiz for CSPM/CNAPP, Azure Sentinel for SIEM). In my opinion, CrowdStrike Falcon needs to focus on their market segment and strive to …

Pros
  • Detection of suspicious and malicious activity.
  • Device control to prevent data exfiltration.
  • Low rate of false-positives.
Cons
  • CrowdStrike Falcon keeps adding new product lines. In my opinion, some of these are not up to the same standard of quality as Falcon. Focus on core products.
  • QA testing of channel files
  • Broaden the inventory discovery capabilities to include browser extensions.
