Instant availability of first-party data, simplified onboarding

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM provides instant availability of all native CrowdStrike telemetry, including endpoint, cloud, and identity data, eliminating data onboarding challenges for your SOC’s most critical data sources. Additionally, third-party data can be easily ingested through pre-built connectors and our telemetry pipeline, Onum.

Complex data onboarding

Security engineers are forced to invest significant time and resources managing data ingestion, indexing, and parsing. This increases the operational burden and creates delays between when data ingestion and when it becomes searchable.

Faster search speeds for rapid investigations

Real-time search that’s significantly faster than legacy SIEMs. Effortlessly search across both live and historic data to find threats faster and prevent breaches.

Slow search performance hinders incident response

Splunk’s slower search speeds can delay threat hunting and lead to analyst burnout. As networks grow, search speeds deteriorate further without proper management.

Harness the power of “index-free”

Index-free architecture allows security teams to enjoy real-time ingestion at petabyte scale, live dashboards, and faster search and alerting capabilities.

Index-based architecture leads to issues

Splunk’s index-based architecture presents several challenges, including excessive resource consumption and slow search times.

Comprehensive out-of-the-box detections

In addition to the detection content from other CrowdStrike platform modules, Falcon Next-Gen SIEM delivers an extensive set of out of the box detection content, including 1450+ rule templates, 100+ cross-domain correlation rules, ad hoc releases for rapid response cases automatically deployed within hours of threat emergence, comprehensive integrated threat intelligence, and additional detection capabilities from Falcon Complete and OverWatch.

Limited out-of-the-box detections

Splunk relies on correlation rules that require extensive manual configuration and ongoing maintenance and tuning, or extensive custom rule-building, to become operational for modern security use cases.

Global threat intelligence leader

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM reveals indicators of compromise (IOCs) in your environment, giving your analysts instant context to help determine adversary objectives.

No native threat intelligence

Splunk lacks an in-house threat intelligence service, requiring customers to supply their own threat intelligence feeds.

All inclusive managed services

Falcon Complete provides full-cycle remediation without the need for additional personnel. Our world-class team shows you how to gain real-time visibility and insights from your log data to maximize security efficacy.

No in-house managed services

Splunk doesn’t offer an in-house MDR service. Customers must allocate multiple employees to use, configure, and manage Splunk, resulting in higher costs.

GenAI that supercharges security teams

Trained on the decisions of our industry-leading MDR analysts, Charlotte AI delivers pre-built agents that autonomously triage detections, recommend and execute response actions, and

orchestrate end-to-end workflows, helping security teams investigate threats, make faster decisions, and take action with greater confidence.

AI capabilities lag behind

Splunk's AI capabilities within Enterprise Security are limited to a prompt-driven "AI Assistant" that provides investigation summaries / reports with MITRE ATT&CK mappings and remediation guidance, and SPL query generation. Unlike CrowdStrike, Splunk lacks a pre-built agent fleet and agentic AI that really drives efficiency gains for customers.
