CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile vs Wazuh

CrowdStrike Falcon for Mobile extends endpoint security to business Android and iOS devices. It detects suspicious activity and links in texts, emails, browsers, and QR codes without reading or scanning their contents. It can block malicious links and unauthorized domains, and surface malware, network disruptions, spoofed identities, jailbroken devices, insider threats, and accidental data exposure. A central console displays mobile activity and device trust posture. Deployment supports zero-touch enrollment and existing unified endpoint management and mobile device management tools, with fully managed, BYOD, and personal unmanaged modes available. FalconID, delivered through the app, provides phishing-resistant multifactor authentication with real-time risk-based access decisions. Built-in blocklisting can act on malicious IPs, and Falcon Fusion enables custom incident-response workflows. Zero Trust Assessment covers iOS and Android, with an integration to Device Trust from Android Enterprise. Plans include Falcon Go at $7.99 per device per month, capped at 100 devices; Falcon Pro at $14.99 per device per month; and Falcon Enterprise at $19.99 per device per month. A 15-day free trial requires no credit card.

Wazuh unifies XDR and SIEM to analyze security data across endpoints, clouds, and networks for threat detection, incident response, and compliance work. Its rules identify errors, misconfigurations, malicious activity, and policy violations in operating system and application logs. File Integrity Monitoring tracks changes to content, permissions, ownership, and other file attributes. Vulnerability detection compares endpoint software inventories with updated CVE databases. Built-in active responses can take countermeasures, including blocking network access from a threat source. Wazuh can monitor AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, and GitHub services, virtual machines, and activity. Its integrations guide also covers Elastic Stack, OpenSearch, Splunk, and Amazon Security Lake. Default rulesets provide mappings for PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, TSC, and GDPR, but those mappings do not themselves certify compliance. Wazuh runs on API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Its self-hosted open-source plan is free; paid plans start at $571 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Agents support Linux, Windows, macOS, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX and require an average of 35 MB of RAM.
