We’re not here to put CrowdStrike down…
… We just know that the inertia is real
As one of the industry’s biggest players, CrowdStrike has played a huge role in bringing new innovations to market and stopping high-profile attacks. But for customers - bigger doesn’t always mean better…
CrowdStrike is expensive
Analysts and user reviews consistently rate CrowdStrike’s products as some of the most expensive on the market.
A hammer, not a toolbox
CrowdStrike’s products are designed to address specific challenges. But this just forces customers to string together multiple overlapping apps, integrations, and add-ons to get the full coverage. More tools mean more costs, hassle, and confusion.
The support isn’t personal
CrowdStrike’s scale makes effective support a challenge. Generally, users rely on the support group and troubleshooting issues themselves, which they only realise after signing the contract.
Far from a complete approach
Your security posture is only as good as its weakest link. CrowdStrike’s native products lack threat prevention, DNS protection, privileged access management, patch management, and more. There’s no point locking the door if the window’s still wide open…

FAQS
About CrowdStrike vs Heimdal
1. What is the best CrowdStrike alternative?
Heimdal is the best alternative to CrowdStrike. It offers some of the market’s leading endpoint detection technology, without huge costs or relying on patchy 3rd party support. Crucially, the threat detection technology is based in the traffic layer – meaning you can spot and defend against attacks before they happen. Alternatives like CrowdStrike use a much more reactive approach.
But crucially, CrowdStrike has another key flaw: It’s only designed to solve one problem natively. Without subscriptions, this leaves vital gaps in your security posture, including vulnerability management, privileged access management, DNS security, email security, and much more. Instead, Heimdal offers a single unified cybersecurity platform with all this functionality available under a single dashboard.
2. Is Heimdal a good alternative to CrowdStrike?
Heimdal is a much better choice than CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is one of the most expensive and cumbersome tools on the market. And while its endpoint detection features are extensive – there’s no functionality to manage threat prevention, DNS protection, privileged access management, patch management, and much more.
With Heimdal, you get access to a single, integrated suite with all the tools you need under one platform. Say goodbye to overlapping subscriptions, confusion, and rising costs – without sacrificing market-leading security protections.
3. Is CrowdStrike cheaper than Heimdal?
CrowdStrike is one of the most expensive cybersecurity tools on the market and is consistently rated as such by reviewers and analysts. But it’s not just about the headline price - it’s also about what you get for it.
With CrowdStrike, you only get endpoint detection features – despite the high costs. With Heimdal, you get a complete security suite under one cost-effective and scalable platform.
4. Why do buyers choose Heimdal over CrowdStrike?
Buyers appreciate that Heimdal is more a cost-effective, easy-to-use, and complete solution. Under a single, scalable platform, you get access to network security, endpoint security, vulnerability management, privileged access management, email and collaboration security, and threat hunting.
Crucially, there is no compromise on the technology you rely on to stay safe. Heimdal’s EDR tools offer wide automations, one-click remediation, traffic-layer threat detection, and much more. This gives you the tools you need to stay safe without the hassle or excessive costs.
5. Is CrowdStrike the best EDR?
CrowdStrike is a popular EDR – but it’s far from the best tool on the market. That’s because it’s expensive, often cumbersome – and only designed to solve one specific problem. It also relies on 3rd party support, which can be slow, reactive, and lack the expertise you need, when you need it.
Instead, Heimdal offers all the cybersecurity tools you need under one native platform, with dedicated support and the same market-leading cybersecurity features you need to stay safe.
