Sygnia pricing: Custom-quoted pricing. Watch for with CrowdStrike: Managed tier costs materially more than the self-managed Enterprise bundle it sits above; the analysts and remediation are the uplift; Third-party minimum around 250 endpoints excludes small buyers, who get steered to self-managed Pro or Enterprise.
