Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon needs system integration, UI, reporting improvements, and enhanced compatibility, addressing false positives, support, and pricing concerns.
Trellix EDR needs enhanced performance, integration, user interface, historical search, and streamlined management for better user experience.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures.
I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon's pricing, typically $50,000 to $100,000 annually, is competitive with customizable options and offers free trials.
Trellix EDR pricing starts at $25,000, offers flexibility for startups, but advanced features and retention fees can increase costs.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon offers robust threat detection and prevention with user-friendly interface, AI-driven analysis, and excellent integration features.
Trellix Endpoint Detection and Response provides scalable, automated cybersecurity with real-time monitoring, threat visualization, and seamless integration capabilities.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
The moment the user clicked on the file, it was quarantined thanks to CrowdStrike.
CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool.
I have spent efforts on training our managers and others - what can software do if the knowledge base is low?

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.
CESARCASTRO - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancements needed for security alerts while ongoing training strengthens defenses
This year, I am going to improve some tools to be installed or maybe acquire some services to better manage our web services and work with my coworkers. Application fiber also needs attention. Nowadays I am making applications that are publicly seen on the Internet. I need some protection, possibly multi-factor authentication improvements. I am seeing, for workflows, some sort of ethical hacking to test our environment. Knowledge of everything, not only the product - maybe some kind of alerts - needs to emerge. I see the current ones as very low-tier, and they must improve.
