Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has a ransom detection time of less than 50 seconds."
"EDR is effective in CrowdStrike."
"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
"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."
"Webroot's tech support is pretty good; they've given me some pointers."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-configure product."
"Probably, compared to other antivirus programs, what we like about it is it is lightweight."
 

Cons

"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"Usually, when it comes to reliability, McAfee and Norton are at 99 percent. Webroot's percentage is lower. It is 94% reliable in terms of what it catches, but you're trading that percentage for customer satisfaction because your computer isn't being constantly told that it just blocked something, or it just did something."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"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."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
