Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The detection is very effective."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"The scalability is good."
"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
 

Cons

"The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"The product could always be more secure."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
