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.
Ahmed El Kayal - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly interface simplifies management while performance issues during scanning need addressing
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is easy to implement and has a user-friendly interface. It stands out as an antivirus and malware protection solution due to its extensive feeds and resources for antivirus signatures. These capabilities enable effective malware protection. Additionally, it offers scalability as any endpoint added to Active Directory can be easily integrated by Kaspersky Security Center. Its straightforward deployment and ease of management are other valuable features. It does not require an advanced engineer to manage, and resources are readily available online, making it accessible and scalable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"The detection is very effective."
"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We have gained advanced threat protection without investing more into that area."
"It allows for a solid form of risk management as well as a measure of remote device management."
"Kaspersky is an excellent choice for enterprise security. It supports Windows 10 and earlier versions like Windows 7, ensuring compatibility across various Windows operating systems used by our organization."
"The interface is really good. It's nice and simple."
"It has improved our performance and deployment."
"First of all, I like that it's perfect against malware threats and behavior analysis along with signature analysis. That's the key point for me."
"This product is easy to use."
"Easy to deploy, easy to use, and has a good detection rate."
 

Cons

"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"It slows down the system sometimes, and it has the occasional false positive where it deems something a virus when it isn't."
"I find it to be slow on my end and would like to see that improve. I think the e-learning portal can be updated because it's been disabled due to an upgrade. The data could be updated as well. I also think that pricing could be improved."
"I'd like to see them improve encryption and remote management in the future. Kaspersky could also improve its scanning technology. Other solutions have adopted machine learning and deep learning, but Kaspersky still uses signature-based scanning."
"I would like the solution to be able to allow to have end to end security services from the final user to the server."
"Utilizing the CPU usages during the scan process needs to be improved."
"We have had some problems with it comes to uninstalling it, so you have to make sure that you do everything right."
"We find that the solution uses up too much RAM and can slow down machines."
"There have been some performance issues. They provide good security, but this slows down the performance of machines' servers. The software is not updating as frequently as we need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
"Annual licensing."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"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."
"The price is reasonable. We evaluated some other vendors, but Kaspersky charges less and offers more."
"I've heard from my manager that the solution is expensive."
"The tool is too expensive compared to other products."
"The cost of the solution is approximately $31,000 for three years."
"Kaspersky is priced well."
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is an expensive solution."
"I find the solution to be inexpensive compared to other solution like Crowdstrike."
"The pricing is a bit more expensive than other products."
