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.

Centralized system, less stress on the network and runs smoothly
Since we're fully virtualized, it integrates seamlessly. We use the agent for deployment within the environment. Management is centralized, so updates, deployments, and reporting are done through the main console.  We have a lot of flexibility in scheduling and configuring how your antivirus…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The most valuable feature is the machine learning that they use to check certain patterns in the endpoint devices. It checks the whole ecosystem or entire environment."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"It can scale quite well."
"Threat detection and prevention are the most significant features. It covers most of the data collected by sending it to McAfee by looking at the behavioral analysis, vulnerabilities, and such, and then it assesses the data with the threat intelligence in their analytical engine."
"It provides helpful popups."
"We use the solution to prevent viruses and threats."
"The technical support is good. They are fast to respond and they have weekend support."
"MOVE AntiVirus's best feature is its ease of use."
"he initial setup is simple."
"In the time that I've been using it, it hasn't crashed. It's rock-solid. So, I haven't noticed any performance issues, like using too much CPU or memory."
 

Cons

"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The dashboard should be improved, as a more user-friendly version is required."
"They could improve the monitoring and classification of the data features."
"The interface is not so easy to use and could be improved."
"Right now, nothing is missing from the solution."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus blocks ports and applications that we need to use."
"The performance is poor."
"It's resiliency needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"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."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"It could be cheaper, but anybody would like a good product at a lesser price."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus can be an expensive solution, depending on the size and quantity."
"The solution is affordable."
"There is a need to make payments towards the licensing costs of the product, but it is not too much, in my opinion."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"Our subscription is yearly."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The license for McAfee MOVE AntiVirus is based on the number of users."
