Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Anish R - PeerSpot reviewer
Foolproof and good for controlling access but can be expensive
I've worked in BeyondTrust, also. They have Asian-based solutions, and it's not as heavy as CyberArk. Since I have been working with CyberArk for some time, I feel a little bit more comfortable with CyberArk. BeyondTrust is also not that bad. However, they did not have all the capabilities that CyberArk was offering at that time. That said, this was maybe four or five years ago. I haven't explored anything after that. I'm sure a lot of things have changed. There used to be IBM Privilege Identity Manager as well, but it's not there anymore. Saviynt has its own solution as well. Basically, there are multiple solutions there, however, CyberArk was definitely been our choice for Privilege Identity Manager.
