Sysdig vs Crowdstrike
Choose Sysdig over Crowdstrike
Don’t fly blind relying on a black box tool that provides no visibility on how detection rules are generated and treats containers just like any other endpoint. Tools like Crowdstrike lack the deep visibility and rich context you need to accurately detect, prioritize, and respond to threats with reliable forensics across containers and clouds.
The Sysdig difference against Crowdstrike:
Deep visibility based on syscalls and cloud activity logs.
Accurate detection and response based on Falco open-source engine with complete, detailed forensic data captures.
Limited visibility into containers and clouds.
Limited detection coverage and forensics.
Built from the ground up to specifically address cloud native security problems.
Designed around Kubernetes native constructs and integrations for full context.
Adapted from an existing, host-centric, Windows-focused security solution.
Limited Kubernetes context for incident response.
Based on open standards with no black boxes.
Community contributions and validation for maximum and trusted coverage.
Closed source platform based on proprietary algorithms.
No visibility into platform logic, limited customization options.
