Associate Director at KPMG

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.

Director Technical Services at TechnoBIZ

Ensures continuous protection with real-time scanning of emails and mailboxes

ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas. Additionally, the response time of their technical support is slow and needs enhancement. Overall, Trend Micro's technical support has deteriorated, and pricing is another area that requires attention. The list pricing is high, and we lose deals against competitors because of this. Trend Micro should consider reducing their prices, especially for large customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's really good because it can detect anything."

"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."

"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"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."

"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."

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."

"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."

"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."

"The analysis part is good."

"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."

"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."

"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."

"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."

"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."

Cons

"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."

"The price is too high."

"I'm concerned about the recent issue that involved a faulty update."

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."

"I would also like to see the endpoint firewall component produce some level of logging and feedback."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."

"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."

"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."

"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."

"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."

"The sandboxing part can be improved."

"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."

"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon could be better. It is very expensive, we pay approximately $900 per month for the licenses. There are not any additional fees."

"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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."

"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."

"The product is expensive."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Its price is okay. It is not too high."

"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."

"It is an expensive solution. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

CrowdStrike

More than 90 percent of targeted attacks begin with a spear phishing email, which means your mail server security is more important than ever. Unfortunately, most mail server security solutions, including the limited set of built-in protections in Microsoft® Exchange™ 2013 and 2016, rely on pattern file updates, which only detect traditional malware. They don’t include specific protections to detect malicious URLs or document exploits commonly used in targeted attacks or advanced persistent threats (APTs).

ScanMail™ Suite for Microsoft® Exchange™ stops highly targeted email attacks and spear phishing by using document exploit detection, enhanced web reputation, and sandboxing as part of a custom APT defense—protection you don’t get with other solutions. In addition, only ScanMail blocks traditional malware with email, file, and web reputation technology and correlated global threat intelligence from Trend Micro™ Smart Protection Network™ cloud-based security.

Time-saving features like central management, search and destroy, and role-based access have earned ScanMail its reputation as one of the simplest security solutions to setup and operate.
