Compatible, cost-effective, and highly customizable
There is a huge scope for improvement for any good product in the market. Check Point services and antivirus solutions can improve their customer offerings by offering various discounts in their subscription model and they can also reconsider their pricing model as well. If certain cost reductions can happen and can take place, then it is going to be ultimately very good for medium enterprises like us. Also, we are requesting the customer service and the business team of Check Point to have more and more features and improved packages to increase the customer experience. We would be grateful to the entire Check Point team if we could get some discounts and also some extended trial periods.

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.
