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 feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"The initial setup is a very fast process."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"The solution offers great stability."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"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

"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"One thing that is not yet available is attack simulation."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"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

"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"Annual licensing."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
