CrowdStrike

Seamless Deployment Enables Complete Protection on Day One
Single lightweight agent deploys in minutes and is immediately operational — no reboot or tedious tuning required.

Burdensome Deployment Delays Time to Value
Full platform functionality requires multiple heavy agents, reboots on deployment, and manual exclusions due to software interoperability, with no ability to automatically update sensors.

Comprehensive Detection, Fewer False Positives
Superior enterprise-grade visibility and detection across on-premises, cloud, and mobile devices to discover and hunt advanced threats without drowning analysts in a deluge of false positives or a mile-long list of exclusions.

Not Equipped for Modern Threat Detection
SentinelOne’s Next-gen Antivirus-based threat detection engine struggles to detect sophisticated multi-stage attacks, fileless attacks, and attacks that do not require malicious code execution. Their detection engine is also prone to false positives.

Analytics Across the Entire Platform
Harness the power of AI and automation across our entire ecosystem, enabling analysts to benefit from local agent AI detections, behavioral AI detections in the cloud, and AI-alerted indicators from threat hunting. CrowdStrike processes trillions of endpoint telemetry events per week and publishes 200,000 new IOCs daily.

Ineffective Automation and AI
Automation and AI is applied primarily at the sensor level like traditional AV, and not across the full ecosystem and platform. This inability to automatically correlate detections across data sources in the cloud hinders true XDR.

Global Leader in Threat Intel
Fully integrated, world-class threat intelligence leverages the power of big data and AI, as well as human expertise, to arm teams with maximum context. Leverage a list of recently published IOCs, adversary attribution and an automated malware sandbox, all within a single user interface.

Lagging Threat Intel
Check-box threat intelligence functionality primarily built on 3rd party feeds that delivers minimum value. SentinelOne’s threat intelligence delivers a fraction of the IoCs, no adversary attribution, no adversary tactic discovery, and no integrated malware sandbox.

Complete XDR Solution
Built on industry-leading EDR with native threat intel, SOAR, and identity protection, as well as a robust CrowdXDR Alliance to ingest data and take action across key network, cloud, identity, and email domains.

Partial XDR Vision
Next-gen Antivirus masked as XDR exclusively delivers automated enrichment and contextualization only for SentinelOne-generated alerts. Unlike true XDR, SentinelOne cannot create alerts based on low fidelity signals from 3rd party telemetry.

All-Inclusive MDR
Fastest and most powerful turnkey MDR in the market includes full-cycle remediation and requires no additional personnel resourcing. CrowdStrike had the highest detection coverage out of all participants in 2022 MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation for Managed Services.

Limited MDR
SentinelOne MDR analysts require threat detection before involvement, and response is limited to remediation guidance. Managed threat hunting requires a separate SKU.
