The pricing of the solution is average. 

We made use of the free trial and the process for getting set up was extremely easy. We spoke to our sales rep and in our discussions and demos, they offered the free trial. We accepted, they sent me a link and I downloaded the agent. I was then able to install it and login in less than five minutes.

Having the free trial was very important in making our decision to implement CrowdStrike because without being able to test it, it's not something that we would have chosen.

The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market. That said, it's definitely one of the highest. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees and the fact that it's keeping us safe, and it's proven that it works, is worth it.

Licensing is relatively low than other EDR solutions.

One part that I don't like about CrowdStrike is that you have to pay for the extra feature of Falcon X. I don't like the a la carte nature of it. I do find that feature to be one of the most useful.

The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise.
However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing.

We had contacted one of our software vendors, who put us in contact with CrowdStrike directly. We did a PoC for about 60 days. This was right at the COVID-19 kickoff. They weren't as strict on the 14 days, then you are done. They said, "Use it for as long as you like." 

Getting the free trial was super easy. As soon as they spun it up in the cloud, they said, "Here is your login information. Soon as you get your agent, here is the connection string that you will need with this agent when you have run your install." Done. 

When I got the go ahead from my director that we had officially purchased it, I was able to fully deploy to our 22,000-plus endpoints in five days. We had a full deployment in five days.

The free trial was critical. I don't think we would have gone with it if we had not been able to at least kick the tires on it some. We had to make sure that it wasn't going to interfere with our medical applications that are time sensitive.

The tool is very expensive. It's similar to Microsoft Defender. That said, it's not overpriced. It's worth it for the level of security. We need it for our company. 

CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive because it's based on the number of services. 

Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap. 

Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box.

There are licensing and maintenance fees.

At my previous company, I did a PoC. The guy who led all the Midwest sales was somebody I knew for around a decade. So, it was, "Hey, I want to try this out because it sounds interesting." So, it was fairly easy. You got the trial. You installed it, then you connected to their cloud portal. That was it. You opened it up to be able to communicate to port 443 outbound, and that was it. It was super easy to get CrowdStrike up and running.

The PoC was important because we were able to test \ and see visibility that we weren't able to before when a system was off-network, just sitting at home, connected on an Internet, and not VPN'd in. It was those sorts of things where, "Look, this is what we can see now that we couldn't see before," as a result of doing that trial.

At my current company, we did not do any type of trial because of past experience. We did test but then just started kind of rolling it out because our other product was just too heavy to continue to operationalize.

We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses.

We received a quote three years ago, and it was almost seven figures. CrowdStrike got money from investors to displace competitors, like Symantec and McAfee. Then, our quote was very low, which is why we were able to do this. The first year, the quote was almost a million dollars. The second year, it was a little over $100,000.

My customers pay for yearly licenses. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon 10 out of 10 for affordability.

CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team. We lack the resources to replicate the full security services they provide without hiring additional personnel. The cost of Falcon is likely comparable to, or even less than, the salary and benefits we'd need for an extra employee. Furthermore, their on-call experts have more expertise, further enhancing the value proposition.

The solution is expensive, however, if you look at the features, it's worth the cost.

CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market.

We completed a PoC using the trial version, and it was pretty easy to do. It took us less than an hour to deploy. It was just a matter of downloading a trial agent and setting it up.

Having the trial version was important because the easier the PoC is, the better the chances are of us buying the tool.

At approximately 40% more, Falcon is probably too expensive compared to Cisco AMP and Cylance, although that is because of the OverWatch feature. If you took out the OverWatch feature then they should be about the same. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fee.

We took advantage of Falcon's free trial before purchasing it, and it was very easy to get it. We were on the phone with a representative discussing our next steps and they offered the free trial, and we were set up and functional with it the next morning. Having a free trial period is something that is expected. If anybody wants our business in this space then it's necessary because we aren't going to purchase something without trying it first.

The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for. It's a little on the confusing side because the name of the item they're selling doesn't match what you see when you log into the product.

If you buy "Protect" and you log into the product, you don't see "Protect". You see something else, like "Identify" or whatever. So, they need to do a better job of aligning product names from the sale to within the product.

There are add-on fees for different packages that you can buy, and we are looking at adding on some feature functionality as we go forward.

We did the free trial to kick the tires. Part of that head trial was having us load stuff and trying to get by it, and we weren't. That trial really helped sell us that it was a good product.

Getting the free trial was very easy. It has been years now, but it was as simple as just going to the website and requesting a free trial, then it was stood up maybe even that same day. It is hard to remember now, but it was very quick.

The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay."

We do add their OverWatch protection, which is an extra bit of an add-on, but that gives us 24/7 SOC-type watching. So, we have added that on, which has been valuable as well. Outside of that, there have been no more additional costs.

With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need.

Falcon is more expensive than every other solution on the market. That said, they do have a better product than anyone else.

The pricing is competitive and includes all features and support.

I rate pricing an eight out of ten. 

CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features.

The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive.

The pricing was very fair for what we got.

Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs.

While Falcon's advanced capabilities offer robust security solutions, it's worth noting that some of these features may come at a higher cost. This could potentially make it a less economical option for small to medium-sized businesses operating on tighter budgets. It's important for such companies to weigh the benefits of Falcon's comprehensive protection against their financial constraints to make an informed decision.

We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money, so I would rate their pricing four out of five. If you want to add modules or features, these are an additional cost per user.

Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint.

I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. That's a detail our finance department handles.

There is a license-based model. We use the yearly license. I would rate pricing a seven out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive.

The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable.

 CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user.

There is no license required to use this solution.

It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment.

The CrowdStrike Falcon Pro solution alleviates the need to quote out the product. You initiate the use of the free trial, then opting the purchase. You can manage it all on your own without engaging a sales representative. I definitely have done this in a small business environment. 

In all other instances, it was more of a formal business relationship. There was a sales representative involved who queued up the trial environment. If you initiate a trial yourself, you are basically given 14 days to trial it. Whereas, engaging a sales representative allows them to moderate the length of time that you can do the trial. Because we are a larger enterprise with a lot of politics around completing purchases and legal reviews, we have a sourcing department who vets out vendors. The process is very long and cumbersome. We had initiated a trial, in this instance, which ran for several months before we acquired it.

The fact that I have access to the products free for several weeks or months was not really a factor. What was more impressive in the trial was the way CrowdStrike approached it. When you initiate a trial, they give you a CloudFlare instance of a victim machine and an adversary machine. They then allow you the capability to deploy the sensor or pull it back from the victim machine. You can unload whatever you care to against the victim machine for testing to see how well the product works on your own. Unlike many other products in a similar space, when you evaluate the product, it gives you the feeling that you are completely in control. Also, there is a sales engineer who moderates the demonstration of the product.

We are a partner and therefore get the solution for free. 

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 rate the pricing a three out of five. 

They do have relatively high pricing. 

The target market is large enterprises. Maybe they could work on something that can be offered to even small and medium markets.

I was working for a vendor, and we were sharing pricing with a large enterprise, and it was around $800,000 USD or thereabout.

The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want.

While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours.

In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive.

The licensing is very low. It's quite affordable. 

We pay yearly for the solution. It makes it easier for budgeting purposes. We did incur additional costs when we implemented their firewall solution, calling it the endpoint firewall. 

I believe that we pay about US$ 65,000 annually which covers 900 machines in the company. There are no other costs but there are additional features that can be purchased but we haven't done that. 

The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable.

This solution is relatively expensive. 

The licenses are offered on a one-year and two-year basis. The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost.

There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want.

The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon annually is approximately $10,000.

I rate the price of CrowdStrike Falcon a three out of five.

The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly.

I'm not sure how much we are paying for CrowdStrike Falcon, but we have a yearly subscription. 

The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive.

The product is quite expensive. It's higher than the competition in general in terms of cost. 

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

They also offer what they call the Falcon Complete, which was a complete managed service, which we chose not to go with. We measured it ourselves.

The price is fixed with no room for negotiation.

I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. 

The licensing cost isn't cheap, but it's appropriate. 

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 price of CrowdStrike Falcon is a little high, but it can be negotiated.

Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business. It is not a one-time payment. Any upgrades that you want to do, you're going to have to pay multiple times.

The solution is much more costly than other cloud or on-premises solutions. However, it offers good stability, so if a client can afford it, we tend to recommend it as an option.

There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good.

It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Since having threat hunters and analysts cost much more than the product itself. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in our region due to the cost, but the market is changing. Brand awareness is increasing day by day along with the knowledge of what CrowdStrike is capable of by users and user candidates.
This solution, as well as other EDR tools, are selling slowly in our region but this will speed up in the near future. Some companies are already asking for an MSSP version of the product. 

I'm not sure what the exact cost of the solution is.

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. 

The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees.

Licensing cost is negotiable. There are no additional costs.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. I'm sure there's always something that can be improved.

I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. 

Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase.

The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. It is similar to that of Cylance and our on-premises solution.

The price is very reasonable and quite competitive in the market.

The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars.

It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive.

The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced.

The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality.

As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing.

We pay an annual license. CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors. However, it's the best solution available, so we are fine with the price.

This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced.

I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase.

When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive.

I'm going by the client and some of the things that are driving their decisions. 

It's typical when Microsoft throws things in and it seems really cheap, even though you're spending a million and a half dollars with them. You may as well increase the value of that million and a half.

My guess is that CrowdStrike is going to maintain parity or stay ahead of Microsoft.

We are at about $60,000 per year.

CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good. I am looking for other partners and compared to Microsoft Defender and other vendors the price is lower.

This solution has a very competitive price.

There is an annual license required to use this solution. 

Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace.

I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment.

The price is too high. When we are reaching a new renewal, management always asks what's going on in the market.

The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage.

We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs.

The price is high in comparison to similar brands.

The setup of CrowdStrike is very simple. It supports all three platforms (Windows, MacOS, Linux), and it has support for the specific version of the above OS. Which means sometimes, a particular OS won't be compatible with the CrowdStrike version.

The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great.

I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product.
