How do they compare?
CrowdStrike Falcon is a genuinely strong endpoint engine. It's also the only thing it does — everything else in your security program is a separate module, a separate quote, or a job that lands back on your team.

We're not here to talk CrowdStrike down
Falcon's core engine is well-regarded — the entry tiers are genuinely competitive antivirus and EDR. The gap opens at everything past that: the tier you actually need, and the six other jobs a security program has to do.
Managed threat hunting (Falcon OverWatch) only unlocks at the Enterprise tier — roughly 6× the entry price. Below that, Falcon alerts; nobody's watching overnight unless you staff it yourself.
Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security, Next-Gen SIEM, and Cloud Security are separate, separately-quoted products at every tier. There's no bundle where you get the platform, full stop.
Falcon doesn't touch email security, security-awareness training, dark-web monitoring, or compliance evidence — not as an add-on, not at any tier. You're sourcing three more vendors regardless.
Falcon Complete — the tier where CrowdStrike's own people run it for you — prices like an enterprise contract. For a lean team, "fully managed" and "CrowdStrike" rarely appear in the same budget line.
Three reasons to choose EntraGuard over CrowdStrike
Endpoint, identity, email, patching, dark-web monitoring, awareness training, and compliance evidence ship together, included — not as line items you approve one at a time as your risk grows.
Every EntraGuard plan runs on a managed, Gartner-leader EDR engine (SentinelOne, alongside Microsoft Defender) with our SOC watching it around the clock — not an Enterprise-tier feature you grow into.
You don't staff an analyst to read Falcon's dashboard. EntraGuard's team contains the threat, explains it in plain language, and hands your board a single posture score.
Keep the engine you like or replace it — either way, we'll show you exactly what it isn't covering, in about 30 minutes.
Every layer CrowdStrike leaves for you to source
Managed 24/7 — contained, not just flagged.
Risk-based access, monitored continuously.
SPF/DKIM/DMARC enforced and watched.
Patched and verified, not just installed.
Credential exposure caught before it's used.
Run, tracked, and measured — not a checkbox.
Evidence collected continuously, mapped to your framework.
Our analysts, not a dashboard you're left to read.
Every device enrolled and accounted for.

1 — Falcon OverWatch (24/7 managed threat hunting) ships from the Enterprise tier (~$185/device/yr); entry tiers (Falcon Go/Pro, $30–50/device/yr) are prevention-and-alerting only. 2 — Falcon Complete, CrowdStrike's fully-managed detection-and-response service, is quoted separately and typically runs $200–400+/endpoint/yr at scale. 3 — Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security is a standalone, separately-quoted module at every tier, not a bundled feature. 4 — Falcon's device control covers USB/peripheral policy, not general OS or third-party software patching. 5 — Falcon's dashboards report on endpoint/identity telemetry; they don't fold in email, training, or compliance posture.
