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

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."

"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."

"The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."

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

"As long as the machine is connected to the Internet, and CrowdStrike is running, then it will be on and we will have visibility; no VPNing in or making some type of network connection. CrowdStrike always there and running in the background; for us, that is big. We wanted something that could give us data as long as the machines connected to the Internet and be almost invisible to the employees."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."

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

"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 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."

"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."

"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."

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

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection pros

Cons

"The detection time has room for improvement."

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

"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."

"It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account."

"Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."

"I would like a centralized deployment where I could roll out or push it to all endpoints."

"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."

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

"An updated UI would be nice, but is not hardly used."

"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."

"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."

"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."

"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."

"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."

More Webroot Business Endpoint Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."

"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."

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

"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."

"The solution's pricing is great for us."

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."

"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is high."

"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."

"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."

"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."

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

"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."

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

"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
