Excellent anti-ransomware protection, zero-day phishing protection, and web browsing filtering
We used to use other security solutions (Windows Defender and Kaspersky), however, we had security incidents that affected us (viruses and ransomware) and they were very difficult to identify or when we did identify them it was already a long time after the incident occurred and we did not know the cause and therefore affected the operability of our company considerably. Since we made the decision to move to Check Point Harmony we have had greater visibility of everything that happens on our devices and take a preventive approach rather than a reactive strategy, in addition to being more confident that we have Check Point protecting us.

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 initial setup is very easy."
"The license plans are also very nice and distributed - allowing for a separation between types of users with more basic or more advanced options."
"It provides remote access for the staff and increases their productivity."
"Check Point Harmony Endpoint has one of the most user-friendly dashboards I've seen."
"The most valuable feature of Check Point Harmony Endpoint is it can be used for all kinds of endpoints, including mobile phones."
"The rollout and management of devices were very simple."
"It is quite easy to use and deploy the agent on endpoints to protect them from bad actors."
"The most valuable feature is the Zero-day protection, which covers our on-premises users, and well as those users who are outside of our network."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"The solution can scale easily."
"CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
 

Cons

"I would like to see simple sandboxing for malware analysis."
"We cannot integrate this product with other solutions, which is something that should be improved."
"We would like to make the documentation for more modern solutions like the Harmony family easier to find."
"They need to make the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly."

"There are a number of features behind paywalls which can be frustrating when you are already paying a premium."
"Endpoint vulnerability management is one of the modules I believe is missing and it is something that is required."
"They should provide bandwidth regulation, so we can monitor and regulate bandwidth."
"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."

"The solution is reasonable, but there are cheaper solutions out there."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is good."

"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
