"They have pretty much everything you can ask for as far as features are concerned. That is because they know their market. They are focused on what they do and they do only that."
"A very good and robust antivirus solution."
"The application runs very fast and does not affect the performance speed of the device where it is installed."
"It is a great, cost-effective, and stable security solution to opt for."
"Check Point Antivirus automatically fixes pop-up ads and can effortlessly detect all kinds of threats while working in the background."
"It is a very reliable antivirus."
"New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The solution can scale easily."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher."
"We'd like them to include more learning-type notifications to users when detecting any eventuality or attack on their computers in order to educate them and teach them about this type of incident."
"The initial setup and configuration should be simplified."
"We would like to see the URL filtering functionality improved in this solution, so that we can exclude domains, rather than just single site URL's."
"They need to add more and more features in the trial version and significantly reduce the pricing for the standard annual subscriptions for the benefit of all."
"A certain reduction in the annual subscription pricing could help many startup organizations like ours."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
