Has a free version, is secure and reliable
We provide the solution to our clients.  They do have a free version on offer.  The protection is very good.  There's an aspect of the solution that will work with a VPN, which is useful.  The solution can scale well. It is stable and reliable.  We find it better than other software or…

Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is easy to use."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"It's not heavy on the system."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon are the AI in detecting and real-time detections."
"It's very easy to set up."
"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
 

Cons

"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"It should have proper and timely updates to deal with new viruses as they come onto the market."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"It could download faster during deployment."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection would be improved with more frequent updates."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the free version."
"I am using the free version of Avast."
"It is $75 per license for a year. There are no additional costs."
"There are no costs other than licensing."
"We are on a monthly subscription for Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"If you become a partner, you will receive the wholesale price."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
