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.

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 most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is robust and can detect almost every malicious activity that occurs within the endpoint."

"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."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"CrowdStrike is a great solution."

"The detection is very effective."

"It's really good because it can detect anything."

"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

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

"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."

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

Cons

"We sometimes get false positives."

"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."

"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."

"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."

"Falcon could include more integrative features."

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."

"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."

"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."

"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

"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."

"The pricing on CrowdStrike is per license. It was about $42 per seat yearly."

"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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."

"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."

"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
