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.

Protects against malware, viruses, and ransomware and is easy to handle
I have a full suite of Norton solutions to protect my PCs, including Norton Security Premium. The software is deployed on-premises, and I prefer on-premises deployment over cloud deployment, finance-wise. Professionally, we have some experience with other antivirus solutions, e.g. Sophos and Symantec, but I can't compare them with Norton Security Premium. Norton Security Premium is a solution I would recommend because it's easy to use, though end-users should be given more information about the different functions the software has, through a dashboard showing the functionalities. I was working in IT, so I know a bit about the product, but if you compare it with the knowledge standard end users have, I'm not sure if more than 50% of the end-users know what they are doing. The dashboard is very important, and I can't think of other features I'd like added to Norton Security Premium in the next release. I'm convinced that Symantec and Norton are the leaders, they know what they are doing, they cover all functionalities of spam, virus, and malware protection, etc. I'm rating Norton Security Premium eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good."
 

Cons

"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"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."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"Security Premium's cost could be lower."
"The solution can improve the security modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high in comparison to similar brands."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"I don't pay for a license."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
"Security Premium costs around US$100 for three years, which is a little 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."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
