MITRE ATT&CK:
See How CrowdStrike Stacks Up

In the 2020 MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation—the most trusted 3rd party performance test in the industry—SentinelOne achieved record-breaking results, becoming the first EDR vendor to deliver 100% visibility of an attack with the most analytic detections 2 years running. The SentinelOne Singularity platform consolidated the 174-step campaign into just 7 console alerts out-of-the-box, automatically providing analysts with the context & correlation they need without extensive setup.

CrowdStrike’s performance missed the mark in speed and substance, only producing a third as many rich, contextualized detections despite its 62 misses, delays, and configuration changes.

3 Reasons Why Teams Trust SentinelOne Vs. CrowdStrike

Detection Without Dependencies

CrowdStrike’s 1-10-60 detection, investigation, and response model is obsolete. Slow to detect, slow to investigate, even slower to recover from attack. SentinelOne leverages AI—not analyst intervention—to act on malicious activity in real time with the fastest recovery on the planet.

Proven Performance Advantage

SentinelOne consistently outperforms CrowdStrike in the MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations—the most trusted 3rd party test in the industry. Each year, we’ve proved our superior ability to make security teams’ lives easier without CrowdStrike’s misses, delays, and constant configuration tweaks.

No Nickel-and-Diming for Data You Need

The SentinelOne Singularity Platform offers longer EDR data retention than CrowdStrike by default, and our patented Storyline™ technology automatically correlates and contextualizes your alerts without the need for costly professional or managed services.

MITRE Is the Proof

Walk through the latest MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation step-by-step, and see how SentinelOne achieved record-breaking, AI-driven results compared to CrowdStrike—without constant delays, manual interventions, and configuration changes.

Comparing SentinelOne vs. CrowdStrike

Freedom to Choose vs. One Size Fits All

  • Customizable without the cost: Multi-site, multi-level architecture tailored to your org structure with no extra charge
    		•
  • Flexibility that costs a fortune: Flat, limited tenancy with additional costs for limited customisation
    		•
  • Easy to learn, easy to become an expert: Manage your operations from one intuitive console
    		•
  • A laborious learning curve: Requires navigation between CrowdStrike-native & Splunk-powered technology
    		•
  • Cloud-native, with options for more: Cloud-first SaaS, hybrid, and on-prem deployment & management available
    		•
  • Confined to cloud-only
    		•

    Coverage Without Compromise

    SentinelOne is better equipped to support every IT environment’s unique needs with truer feature parity and more consistent OS support across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Cloud Workloads than CrowdStrike.

    Time is Money: Faster, Better, Smarter Than Humans Alone

  • The simplicity of Storyline™: Automatic correlation of benign and malicious telemetry, events are mapped to MITRE for faster investigation and response
    		•
  • Less signal, more noise: “Continuous, comprehensive recording” translates to manual parsing, prioritization, and correlation of telemetry; especially challenging across reboots
    		•
  • Real-time reconstruction: Machine-powered attack reconstruction generates focused, contextualized alerts for faster MTTR
    		•
  • Human-powered, human-limited: Delayed, manual analysis introduces greater risk exposure
    		•
  • Fully automated recovery: Patented automatic and 1-click remediation & rollback
    		•
  • Rudimentary remediation: Implemented through API and custom code
    		•

    A New Gold Standard

    CrowdStrike’s 1-10-60 standard creates windows of opportunity for motivated threat actors to strike. SentinelOne takes action in real time with static & behavioral AI, outpacing even the most advanced attacks

    Confidence and Continuity in the Cloud

  • Scalable and sustainable: Runtime protection for containers, 10 Linux distributions
    		•
  • Limited in Linux: Reduced feature support for 7 Linux distros, containers
    		•
  • Control and confidence: No DevOps/performance impact, scheduling and maintenance window support available
    		•
  • Unplanned updates: OS kernel module dependencies may cause forced updates
    		•
  • No maintenance window controls
    		•

    Linux Protection: Security Tested, DevOps Approved

    CrowdStrike has limited prevention and overall detection abilities on Linux, and runs as a kernel module; this leads to greater instability compared to SentinelOne’s Linux Sentinel, which operates entirely in user space. Our superior detection coverage for Linux is demonstrated in the results of the latest MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluation.

    EDR That Over-Delivers, Not Overwrites

  • 365 days: Malicious incident details
    		•
  • 180 days: Malicious incident details
    		•
  • 14 days: EDR data handles attacks like SUNBURST, upgradable to 365 days
    		•
  • 7 days: EDR data misses attacks like SUNBURST, overwrites data every 7 days; high comparative cost to upgrade beyond 7
    		•
  • The data you need, on-demand: Cloud data lake streams in real time
    		•
  • Delays for data: Data lake streaming takes hours or longer
    		•

    Accessible & Actionable Data

    SentinelOne’s longer standard data retention and automated remediation and rollback capabilities equip you to effectively respond to advanced attacks like SUNBURST that may lay dormant for weeks, and do so in less time and at a lower cost than competitors like CrowdStrike.

    Where You’re a Name, Not a Number

  • No security team left behind: Vigilance Respond & Respond Pro MDR offer accessible options for incident-driven triage, digital forensics, incident response, and threat resolution as needed for your organization
    		•
  • Premium prices for standard services: Comparable capabilities require OverWatch Elite or Falcon Complete (CrowdStrike’s highest-tier offerings)
    		•
  • Actionable hunting & intelligence: WatchTower threat hunting service comes standard with Vigilance offerings
    		•
  • Overpromised, under-delivered: Falcon Overwatch costs a premium for correlation-based services
    		•
  • Fastest MDR on the planet: SOC expertise powered by platform automation
    		•
  • MDR at human-speed: Only responds as quickly as its analysts, even with Falcon Complete
    		•

    MDR as an Option, Not a Necessity

    Every platform & service tier at SentinelOne is optimized for customer value and efficiency—with or without manual intervention from MDR analysts.

    While CrowdStrike touts itself as a turnkey solution, customers seeking comparable platform benefits have no option but to purchase Falcon Complete—its highest tier, enterprise-scale managed offering.

    Ready. Real-Time. Record-Breaking.

  • Quick and customisable (STAR, MITRE): Rules and policy updates are active and instantly responsive upon deployment to agents
    		•
  • Lags and limitations: Behavioral rule, custom IOA, and policy changes can take up to 40 minutes to take effect, extending an attack’s lifespan and cost
    		•
  • Richer context, fewer alerts: The most analytic detections in the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluation 2 years running, Singularity automatically consolidated 174 attack steps into just 7 alerts
    		•
  • Manual and maintenance-heavy: A third as many analytic detections, despite all of the continuous tuning and manual correlation & analysis
    		•
  • Only vendor with 100% visibility: Works out-of-the-box, achieved record-breaking results in the ATT&CK evaluation with zero misses, delays, or config changes
    		•
  • Middle-of-the-road: 87% visibility with 62 missed detections, delays, and config changes
    		•

    Discovery as Dynamic as Your Attack Surface

  • Passive and active: Network discovery, fingerprinting, and suspicious device blocking
    		•
  • Passive-only: Rudimentary network discovery
    		•
  • Full functionality, one price: Unlimited Device Control and Firewall Control, no fine print
    		•
  • Multiple modules, multiple costs: Complicated licensing for rudimentary capabilities
    		•
  • Enterprise-ready: Broad OS support for Firewall Control and USB & Bluetooth Device Control, no reboot needed
    		•
  • A minimally viable product: Windows-only Device and Firewall Control for USB (no Bluetooth), requires reboot to activate
    		•

    Transparent Pricing, Without the Fine Print

    At SentinelOne, we pride ourselves on a clear pricing model that doesn’t nickel and dime, or bait and switch. CrowdStrike customers often see their quotes inflate dramatically between all of the additional costs for data retention, flexible deployment, professional services, and more.
