Argus is built as a unified platform with SIEM, SOAR, compliance, automation, and reporting included by default. CrowdStrike Falcon delivers strong endpoint protection but relies on add-ons and third-party tools for advanced functions. Argus reduces complexity and cost by providing everything natively in one platform.

Argus
Built from scratch as a converged platform with 13+ core security functions. It is designed to function as a single unit from the ground up, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.
Native and unified with no external tools. Event monitoring and response are embedded into the platform, allowing faster correlation and automated playbooks.
Real-time executive-level Trust Score. Security leaders gain instant visibility through a native dashboard without needing additional reporting solutions.
Integrated dashboards with policy enforcement. Compliance tracking is part of the platform, enabling proactive enforcement of standards without extra modules.
Orchestration across more than 96 tools is built in. Automation workflows are already available, removing the need for third-party orchestration engines.
Real-time link inspection with forensic analysis. Detection and investigation are included out of the box, ensuring rapid defense against phishing threats.
Native cloud telemetry with posture tracking. Argus continuously collects cloud signals and applies posture controls without relying on separate scanners.
Detection, prioritization, and remediation workflows are built in. Vulnerabilities are addressed directly within the platform, eliminating dependence on external patching suites.
Real-time protection with deception and full telemetry. Endpoints are secured natively, combining visibility and active defense without additional products.
Contextual, behavior-based AI with unified threat feeds. Threat insights are automatically correlated within Argus without requiring outside brokers.
Ready in 15 minutes with no complex setup. Preconfigured deployment lets teams focus on defense instead of integration.
Transparent and all-inclusive pricing. Every feature is covered under a single license with no hidden costs.
Designed for MSSPs and lean SOCs. Argus reduces operational overhead with prebuilt workflows and automation, enabling smaller teams to operate at scale.
Built-in CISO dashboards and board-level summaries. Reporting is built-in eliminating the need for external tools.
Fully converged with no stitching required. Capabilities are unified within Argus, avoiding the patchwork of multiple tools.
Crowdstrike
Cloud-native with lightweight agent.
⚠️Falcon Fusion is available as part of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform but is not enabled by default. While it offers native SOAR capabilities, its automation and orchestration depend on manual workflow configuration and integration with third-party tools like ServiceNow and Jira. SIEM functionality is delivered via Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, which requires additional setup and may not offer the same level of seamless integration or operational efficiency as platforms with built-in, unified SIEM+SOAR engines.
⚠️ CrowdStrike Falcon offers a dynamic Zero Trust Risk Score for accounts and entities, but it does not provide a unified, native trust score dashboard across the platform. Risk scoring is available through Falcon Identity Protection and Zero Trust modules, but visualization and contextual correlation require external configuration or third-party integrations.
⚠️ CrowdStrike Falcon supports compliance with frameworks like NIST, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR through its endpoint protection and threat detection capabilities. However, it does not offer a native, unified compliance dashboard or continuous compliance monitoring out of the box. Achieving full compliance visibility typically requires third-party integrations, external reporting tools, or manual mapping to regulatory controls,
⚠️ Falcon Fusion optional. This feature is available but depends on external modules or configurations. It may not deliver the same level of integration or efficiency as native implementations.
⚠️ CrowdStrike Falcon does not offer native email or phishing protection. Detection and mitigation of phishing threats rely on integrations with third-party email security providers such as Abnormal Security, Mimecast, or Proofpoint.
Cloud workload visibility. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
⚠️ CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight offers risk-based vulnerability visibility as an optional module. While it integrates with Falcon’s endpoint telemetry, full vulnerability lifecycle management, including patch orchestration, compliance mapping, and reporting, often requires third-party integrations.
Falcon agent with real-time protection. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
Real-time indicators of attack. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
Fast cloud deployment. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
"⚠️ Many advanced features in CrowdStrike Falcon, including vulnerability management, threat intelligence enrichment, identity protection, and automation workflows, are gated behind premium tiers or require separate licensing. The platform follows a modular pricing model, where capabilities are bundled across editions like Falcon Go, Pro, Enterprise, and Complete. This can increase total cost of ownership and limit access to critical features unless fully subscribed. ."
Falcon Insight for SOCs. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
⚠️ CrowdStrike Falcon does not offer a native executive reporting dashboard. While technical data can be exported from the Falcon portal, it is typically in raw formats like CSV or JSON. High-level executive summaries require manual customization or integration with external tools such as Power BI or Splunk..
Unified agent, but integrations needed. This feature is fully embedded into the platform, offering seamless functionality without requiring third-party tools or additional setup. It is optimized for performance and ease of use.
