"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."

"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."

"The performance of the solution is very good it does not impact my hardware and is user-friendly."
"The product does not slow down the machine."

"We do not have a domain structure yet but we can manage our client stations via this solution's managing interface. This means that we don't need to have any extra management platforms."

"Primarily used to protect computers from viruses and ransomware."
"The maintenance is easy."
"What is great about ESET is the ERA Web Console through which we can pull various reports, monitor and administer all clients and servers, and the console is easy to use."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."

"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"The management of log aggregation is in need of improvement."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"We'd like the solution to be a next generation antivirus with some sort of artificial intelligence or machine learning angle."
"iOS compatibility for mobile security and parental control."
"The stability needs to be improved. There are bugs that you have to deal with."
"ESET Endpoint Antivirus can improve by having better EDR intelligence and automation. The EDR still needs lots of human interpretation. It can be better if add more intelligence to the EDR part of the endpoint protection."
"The interface is good. However, it could always be better. It could be more user-friendly."
"I would like them to use AI features to do preventative virus protection."
"They should focus more on the offline market as well. Everybody is connected nowadays, and they want to do everything via cloud or fast internet connections, however, that's still not possible in many situations."
"There are other features you can add on to help make the security stronger, however, they should offer better security even on a basic level."
