Abhimanyu Raj - PeerSpot reviewer
Alerts and notifications have enhanced malware detection capabilities
These features are probably the most essential for me. I find the notifications and alerts received from CrowdStrike server to be invaluable. They analyze Falcon and provide output regarding any kind of infected malware devices or files. We have seen returns on our investment in more than thousands of instances, which is the most important part for us.
Amber Worth - PeerSpot reviewer
Retrieves data from quarantines and easy to read logs with robust security features
Some of the searchability when looking for specifics in Exchange logs is tedious. Although eventually the information is located, it can be difficult if detailed information is lacking. Improving the search process by allowing searches with different types of parameters and facilitating searches within emails would be advantageous. Simplifying interfaces would also be appreciated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a 10 out of 10."

"CrowdStrike is an excellent tool for managing all endpoint-related security tasks."
"The tool helps to obtain information about potential company breaches. The malware analysis capability is very effective. We check files from various sources, such as emails, USBs, and cloud drives."
"CrowdStrike is an excellent tool for managing all endpoint-related security tasks."
"I don't have any suggestions, because the solution is company-maintained and I believe the company is adopting every feature based on their needs and requirements."
"It provides a safe way to analyze and review documents that may have sensitive information without uploading them to a public platform. Additionally, provides an easy way to spin up a VM without requiring additional resources and patching of personal or team-managed virtualization."
"We have seen returns on our investment in more than thousands of instances, which is the most important part for us."
"It offers great security against malware and other threats."
"We use the solution to receive emails. We do not use the calendar function as our clients are slow adaptors to the latest features."
"We can migrate seamlessly without any disruptions to our operations."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of administration. Other solutions require complex administration, but Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is easier."
"The security features provided by Microsoft are robust."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection was easy."
"Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) is the best email solution with more features and robust security, making it ideal for corporate use."
"I rate Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"One of the valuable features of the solution is to impressively detect threats without any impact on the end point performance. The solution ensures that the end users have a seamless experience."
"The CrowdStrike support is not good; the support team does not come remotely, and we repeatedly ask them to collect logs and analyze them before providing a solution via email."
"As of now, there is nothing specific in need of improvement."
"The product needs integration with SOAR products to add more integration points, which is important for various clients."
"The technical support is medium - they could improve, as communication is sometimes slow or late. There are missing detections that other tools catch. For improvements, we need easier ways to view full incident information and better presentation of data. Adding risk indicators for incidents would help decide on immediate actions. The platform should provide more information about incident risks to help less knowledgeable staff make decisions."
"The detailed report is very valuable, but not always accurate. This is a great resource to share amongst team members and stakeholders after analysis."
"The solution needs to improve its backup."
"Performance and speed should continue to be improved."
"The product could be more stable. Microsoft products could be more stable because sometimes, even though they are updating some things, we cannot find those updates."
"It wasn't easy or intuitive enough for me to start using it. So, the reason was that the solution changed."
"Our company faces difficulty with Microsoft Exchange Online Protection (EOP) because it's too big, clunky, and difficult for a small client to implement quickly and easily."
"We have experienced issues while migrating from on-prem to the cloud. The tool needs to improve its stability."
"When you're using a Microsoft product solution, you can scale it, but if you're not, there are limitations."
"The solution lacks to elaborate on its spam policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the tool is a bit above mid-range, maybe 7 out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not cheap; however, whether it should be more affordable is a decision best left to the company."
"The solution falls on the higher or more expensive side of the spectrum."
"The solution is expensive but is backed by Microsoft's reputation."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange Online Protection is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is subscription-based rather than a yearly licensing cost. Pricing is based on the size of the environment and company and can be expensive."
"The price could be lower."
