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.

Protected client experience with good security and a straightforward setup

One of my clients is using GravityZone Business Security, although I do not use it personally. I help manage it for them I can't provide specifics. My client feels protected by it, which is important to me. From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like. The ROI is not good…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."

"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."

"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."

"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."

"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."

"The stability is very good."

"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The solution is the cheapest in the market."

"GravityZone provides information about over-the-air data flow, standalone application security, and the infrastructure architecture required to meet the standalone security requirements of the complete SaaS infrastructure."

"The most valuable feature of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is its efficiency in finding threats, such as viruses and ransomware."

"Offers network security protection. Management and maintenance of this solution is easy."

"The initial setup of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is easy."

"My client feels protected by it, which is important to me."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"It is helpful for protecting our desktops and servers from malware and other threats."

More GravityZone Business Security pros

Cons

"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."

"There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it."

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."

"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."

"The price is too high."

"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve the ease of use and add more features. Other solutions have more features such as Kaspersky Antivirus. For example, I could not remote connect with Microsoft Windows with Kaspersky Antivirus and the reports were better. Additionally, I have had difficulty ending tasks with solutions."

"Technical support could always be improved."

"Upgrades are heavy and require back up, making you feel like you're doing a fresh installation of this solution. Configuration can also be quite tedious if you want it to be configured based on your needs."

"From an administration perspective, the tool lacks functionalities related to RMM and MDM. The tool should offer add-ons, like RMM and MDM."

"From an MSP point of view, it is not as efficient as I would like."

"If an enterprise already has existing security features or products, GravityZone Business Security could integrate with them. This will make it a cost-effective solution without replacing their current setup."

"When you have to change some of the settings, the initial setup can become complicated."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite could improve by having a patch management function to become part of the solution. For now, it's a separate module subscription. For example, in my company, all the endpoints are sending the information about network attacks and detected malware, to the GravityZone console, and from the console, you can send all these alerts, to another solution, such as Syslog. This is a very important point for us because, this architecture, is similar to having hundreds of threat sensors in the company. The endpoint is a threat sensor and this is very important. From a security perspective, I'm not expecting anything more. However, I'm expecting patch management to become part of GravityZone, and not a separate subscription. This would be a large benefit to us."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."

"There are approximately a hundred different modules you have to purchase, depending on what you want to do. I have most of the modules. How it works is you buy the portfolio, you have to decide all the components you want in it, and then they price out a bundle for you. I have almost all of the package features in my bundle. You only need to pay for the modules you want."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."

"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."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""

"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."

"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it can be purchased for one, two, or three years."

"We have to purchase licenses for the use of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. We started out with approximately 150 licenses and now we have over 1,000. You can purchase licenses annually or every three years."

"Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is an affordable solution."

"The solution's pricing depends on the features selected but it is the most inexpensive option in the market."

"The price of Bitdefender GravityZone Elite is very good. We are on a three-year license, and the third year was free."

"We pay approximately $1 per device per month for Bitdefender GravityZone Elite. There is no additional cost for the solution."

"The pricing is within the market price range compared to other solutions. It's quite affordable."

"Its subscription is yearly."
