Is Crowdstrike really worth it?
CrowdStrike stormed the endpoint security market with innovative EDR and AI-driven protection but comes with a hefty price tag. While it offers a mature EDR solution and managed detection services like Falcon Overwatch, the cost per endpoint is significantly higher than competitors like ESET. Without skilled analysts, EDR solutions offer limited benefit, and CrowdStrike’s higher false positive rate can waste valuable security team time. For many ANZ businesses, ESET’s PROTECT Enterprise provides comparable protection with local support at less than a third of CrowdStrike’s cost, making it a more economical choice for managed security services.
