Admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and good to use for servers and endpoints

The important factor is that after implementing Bitdefender, we haven't found any attacks. It has a vaccine for the RDP protocol, which is specific to this. We do some customization, but it does not lack any protection. Compared to older versions, we have not found any degradation in performance in the newer versions from the last three to five years, whether for graphical or normal users. They're not complaining that we are facing problems like memory issues. Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running. The admin gets the information about which computer has been infected and can take action accordingly. On a regular basis, Bitdefender's AI capability is okay. But you cannot leave some decisions to AI. You must have control. You have to look at what you're filtering, as it can be a false positive. But on a regular basis, AI can be helpful.

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

"In terms of threat detection, I would give it a ten out of ten since Bitdefender manages to catch threats that other products miss."

"The domain integrator functionality is particularly noteworthy, allowing me to leverage my existing network infrastructure."

"The features I found most valuable in Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security include anti-malware, spyware detection, firewall, network detection, and user behavior analytics. The solution also gives you a heads-up about operating system misconfiguration."

"The tool has a firewall module to control traffic. It also has a feature to map incidents and provide information about attackers and the environment."

"The fact that it is almost plug and play means the policies I have to define are not very complicated."

"We use patch management to keep our software up-to-date, significantly mitigating our risk of vulnerabilities. We're confident that Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security will either already know about new threats and have updated our machines, or they'll advise us quickly on mitigating them until an update is available."

"Bitdefender is also customizable and granular, but once you install it, it keeps running."

"The product provides a single dashboard."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pros

"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."

"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."

"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."

"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."

"The solution offers great stability."

"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

Cons

"The security features as per customers' requirements should be improved."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security could improve the RDP, I have problems sometimes."

"The connection with the controller needs improvement. Some connections are currently unstable."

"The firewall capabilities could benefit from an upgrade since it lacks a high level of granularity and control."

"The price of the bandwidth here is very expensive compared to European countries."

"The solution's stability could be better."

"The tool needs to improve patch and vulnerability management."

"The initial setup should be made easier."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."

"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."

"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup."

"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."

"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."

"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."

"Too many false positives."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Good in terms of pricing and flexibility."

"The product's pricing is okay and it is yearly."

"The solution is reasonable and is nominally priced in accordance with the features that offer to the market."

"The price is fair."

"We purchase the solution for three or five-year intervals. We paid approximately $150 for 10 to 15 users."

"In India, licensing is based on annual contracts. It's not extremely expensive, but not the cheapest either. I'd rate it somewhere around seven or eight out of ten."

"There are many licensing options available, we have been on monthly agreements and other volume contract agreements."

"We pay for an annual license which is affordable."

More Bitdefender GravityZone Enterprise Security pricing and cost advice

"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."

"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."

"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."

"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
