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

"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."

"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."

"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."

"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."

"We like Falcon's network visibility. We can see how threats are evolving on PCS or in the company network. The solution's real-time incident response is very fast."

"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."

"The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The product has an easy-to-use EDR module based on signature-based antivirus detection. It is a complete software."

"Kaspersky is one of the best, and we are working with it today."

"Encryption is the most valuable feature. It creates an encryption tunnel from your location to the delivery address."

"What I like best about Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is that it can detect any cyber attack and that it's a reliable product in the cybersecurity space. My company has confidence in it as a product for detecting all cyber attacks. It's a reliable product."

"Its customer service is quite good."

"It helps improve security in our organization."

"This solution is quite responsive and the tech support engineers are kind and good."

"EDR's most valuable feature is its basic protection from malware and viruses."

Cons

"Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved."

"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."

"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."

"The price is too high."

"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."

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."

"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."

"I would rate it an eight out of ten. It does what it needs to do but there's always room for improvement."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"I would like to integrate Kaspersky with my Log Collector SIEM. Right now that's not possible."

"Kaspersky EDR currently has limited OS support. They only focus on Windows Server and Windows. Kaspersky recently released a Linux version, but it's rudimentary. It does not have any advanced features available on Windows platforms. They should increase their footprint on the Linux side and support other operating systems on the market, like MacOS."

"The prices can go down a little bit."

"I would say that Kaspersky is not too big in the cloud-related area."

"The main problem with Endpoint is that Kaspersky is a Russian company, and my clients prefer not to use it."

"They should include XDR features in the solution."

"We'd like to see them improve the automatic response."

"Kaspersky needs to strengthen its standing in the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."

"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."

"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."

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."

"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Kaspersky's pricing is very competitive when it comes to comparison with the other solutions."

"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"If one is cheap, ten is expensive, I rate the product’s price as a seven out of ten, especially if I compare it with CrowdStrike."

"The solution isn't the cheapest considering what you get. I would rate the pricing as seven out of ten."

"The price of the solution could be reduced."

"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."

"The pricing is reasonable. Not too cheap, not too expensive."

"The license for EDR costs about 1,000 pesos per user. I would rate the pricing as four out of five."
