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

"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"The solution can scale easily."
"It has good features for threat detection."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The detection and response console is the most valuable feature."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very scalable."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."
"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."
"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."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"We pay between $30-50 per user for a yearly license, which is more expensive than SentinelOne or Bitdefender. However, CrowdStrike gives better value for money."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Its cost is not much per month. Our price is a couple of bucks a user."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"It is relatively cheap."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
