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

"The scalability is good."

"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."

"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."

"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."

"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."

"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."

"Probably the most valuable thing to me is the real-time response piece. The fact that I can connect to an endpoint as long as it is on the Internet, no matter where it is globally. I can remove files from the endpoint, drop files on the endpoint, stop processes, reboot it, run custom scripts, and deploy software. Pretty much no other tool can do all that."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

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

Cons

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

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."

"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."

"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."

"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."

"The pricing is a bit too high."

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."

"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."

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

"With respect to pricing, my suggestion to others is to evaluate the environment and purchase what you need."

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