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.

Provides information on leaks in the dark web, the deep web, and credit cards

ZeroFOX is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Before using ZeroFOX, users should also get demo sessions from other vendors. Then, you will get a better picture of ZeroFOX and how it works. ZeroFOX is a very good tool that will provide value if you can afford it. One of the key advantages of ZeroFOX is that it has a team where everyone is skilled in programming and scripting knowledge. If my team has some task, we don't have to go through the engineering. ZeroFOX is very easy for a beginner to learn. I would recommend ZeroFOX to other users. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."

"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."

"We are happy with CloudStrike's ease of use and touch notification."

"The scalability is good."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."

"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."

"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."

"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."

Cons

"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."

"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."

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

"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."

"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."

"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."

"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could be enhanced by extending its security capabilities to include NDR and XDR."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."

"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."

"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."

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

"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."

"The price is too high."
