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.

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

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers a comprehensive dashboard that is highly effective in protecting against and blocking external infiltration attempts."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The thing that I like is that they have gathered almost all the products in one management server, the ePolicy Orchestrator."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
 

Cons

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"They offered a white glove service that was extremely costly. When we got into it, we saw it was relatively easy. If I was being nitpicky, I'd say that I don't like being sold something that's unnecessary. That's the only downside I've seen to the solution."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"It can be quite complicated to learn McAfee Endpoint Security and to feel comfortable with the environment."
"The local technical support could be better."
"The software download features could stand improvement."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"The solution could use better updates and fewer bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"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."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"The price of this product is good."
"It is not that expensive. There is no additional cost. We got the entire bundle together."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"The price of the solution is fair, we have a complete security package."
"Annual license fee is good"
"We pay for the license on an annual basis."
