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.
Syed Azimuddin - PeerSpot reviewer
Realtime intelligent end-to-end detection and protection from malware in a highly versatile product
From a technical perspective, I think ServerProtect is one of the best security products on the market. It is a mature product that already has most features that any product of this type has. What can be improved is that the cost is very high. So I feel that the cost should be reduced, even if it is justified. One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature is just a custom sandbox within the solution itself. So instead of having to go and use an additional sandbox for testing, you could have a custom sandbox integrated directly into the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The platform is very scalable."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"Able to quarantine any malware."
"Performance is very good."
"Technical support was perfect."
"The solution allows centralized administration"
"Virtual Batching and the intelligent anti-malware components are valuable security tools."
 

Cons

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"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."
"Notifications are not very good with Trend Micro."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"Could include additional features such as an intrusion prevention system."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"The solution should provide features to block devices, specific IPs or URLs"
"I would like to see SMS notifications sent as alerts, in case we do not have access to our email."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Annual licensing."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"Pricing is based on the components you choose from the suite to run in your installation. Costs vary by the number of features and the number of servers."
"Pricewise, this product is okay."
"This product has an annual subscription, but also offers MSP options."
"In terms of price, the solution is in the middle; it's neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. I rate it three out of five for cost."
"The product is available at a reasonable price"
