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.
AhmedEl-Tayeb - PeerSpot reviewer
Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"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."
"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"The detection is great and the solution is constantly improving."
"The solution is reliable."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"When Intel acquired McAfee they worked on the protocol so that all vendors can work on the same platform. It's a very big improvement in McAfee. All McAfee products talk to each other. Other vendor's products can join this platform as well so it makes it more powerful on the enterprise side for McAfee."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
 

Cons

"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"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."
"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"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."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"I am happy with the pricing."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"It is reasonably priced."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The price of this product is good."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
