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.

Lightweight and not hard to set up however, does not offer good reporting

We've had a couple of events both this year and last year where it just didn't seem to catch ransomware, which is impossible to do if someone has hands-on with the system. There were some things that they had or used to have or don't have that I still haven't figured out called journaling. And it was supposed to be a way to roll back changes that were made. However, they're telling me they don't have that. That's not in the system. It’s my understanding that it doesn’t actually scan any files at all. They just look at their database of files they've scanned previously, and either it matches or doesn't. That might be where the shortcoming is, is that it just can't stay up-to-date fast enough to stop new things that are coming in. It's an after-the-fact anti-virus. It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it. There is one thing that is deplorable with the product that I would change as soon as I found a better one. However, the reports are worthless. You go and look at a scan report and cannot get a log of machines. I can log into a console and see the files were scanned every day at 2:00 AM, and they all passed green or something was detected and removed. However, you have to go to the console. I don't have anything that I can send to my client on reports. What they give you is a bunch of bar graphs with no details. You can't drill down. It'll say two infections. However, it doesn't tell you what machines. You've just really got several different reports, and they're all just a bunch of graphs and wasted paper. There's nothing really substantial. The reports that I can use for client-facing, once a month, to say, "Here, we scanned all these workstations. Here are our results," don’t exist. They've got fake reports. I've screamed about that for years, and they just won't do anything. Therefore, I created my own little up-to-date or not ask fail-type report. I send that to them in place of a report directly from a product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."

"The platform is very scalable."

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."

"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."

"The solution's reporting console is phenomenal, and I can get a lot of data out of it."

"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is effortless to use, and it's a cloud-specific platform. You only need to deploy the light agents on the licensed endpoints, and you're ready to work. Your dashboards will tell you the number of the endpoints being protected and the incidents. There are also incident dashboards with alerts that will tell you about the details."

"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."

"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."

"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."

"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."

"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."

"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."

"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."

"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system."

"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."

"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."

"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."

"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."

"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Reporting system could be improved."

"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."

"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."

"Since they're dealing with multi-core environments now, the best option would be for them to enhance the product so that the product can automatically do an assessment on the machine."

"It would be great if there was a feature which would allow you to scan an individual file on an endpoint user's computer."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."

"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."

"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"We are at about $60,000 per year."

"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"The price is too high."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."

"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product's pricing a three on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. There are no costs in addition to the product's standard licensing fees."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."

"It is relatively cheap."

"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."

"The solution is very cost-effective."

"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
