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.
Ivan Burke - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective incident response and investigation features
We also use Palo Alto's XDR, SentinelOne, Trend Micro, and quite a few others. SentinelOne is nice because you have a centralized dashboard. You just have a single instance and can manage all your clients from one central dashboard, which Cybereason currently lacks. It hinders our use case because we have to redeploy our rules. However, SentinelOne's search feature is slightly more limited than Cybereason's. SentinelOne's search feature is very restrictive, and they have a certain way you have to do it. If you don't follow that way, you're kind of stuck. The deployability is the same, and we have not had scalability issues. We don't work with a larger client. Our largest deployment was about 3,000 endpoints. Cybereason's tech support or the support engineer tends to be slightly better than SentinelOne's because there is no direct contact for support in our region. We usually have to reach out to either the European or the American branches for assistance. There's a bit of a time delay or something that happens. Those are the only major differences.
