Detailed sandbox reports have strengthened investigations and now provide clearer threat decisions
The additional quota was a factor that led us to consider a change; we went from five detonations per day to 250 per month. Multi-platform analysis in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has helped identify threats. The effectiveness of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox has been roughly 90 to 100 percent for our operations. Custom indicators of compromise in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox add to our cybersecurity strategy; it is a small part of the strategy, but it plays a significant part in keeping all of the tenants that we have onboarded up to date on relevant files that we are seeing in our environment. That memory forensic capability in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not something we utilize significantly, but we know of its importance. We utilize memory forensics sometimes in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox to review the entropy snapshot; if we see a high level of entropy in the Sandbox report, that could lead to a decision that the file is most likely suspicious, but we use that as an additional item to review. Regarding how features of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox have benefited my organization, there is a real-time feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox, so we can deploy the operating system of choice; we can also analyze archived files, and those features have been helpful as we can interact with the file in certain ways and get additional interaction metrics. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox overall as a solution at a nine out of ten. A higher interaction time with the file would give CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox a ten out of ten for us. If you utilize Falcon Endpoint Protection, I would highly recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox because the telemetry goes hand-in-hand with that other product.

Has struggled with poor documentation and limited tuning options but supports basic protection needs
The major limitation of this product is that their documentation is very poor; their documentation is extremely poor. Their support is very poor for this product, and the solution is average. To be honest, it's not that effective. Their Threat Scan Engine has features that don't work properly; they have features that really don't work properly. Their solution provides writing style verification, but this solution comes with false positives 60% of the time. There is no way from their portal to fix it; you can either turn it off or turn it on. The solution has many bugs. I will recommend Microsoft first for replacing Trend Micro ScanMail, then Barracuda, but the problem with Barracuda is that for impersonation solutions, it doesn't work well. There are many features, but you cannot tune the product. Being able to tune a product is really important; such as adjusting settings to be aggressive, minimal, or to exclude certain things. These are the most important considerations when purchasing a product. When impersonation is needed, but there are false positives, there should be an option to tune the product. Barracuda and Trend Micro Deep Security lack this feature, which is pathetic.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the notifications and alerts received from CrowdStrike server to be invaluable."
"The cloud deployment of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox benefits my organization because we can access it from anywhere and at any time we can get the information."
"The most valuable features include malware detection, threat rating related to files, studying the metadata of the files, and providing threat feeds to the endpoint."
"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."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is one of the most intelligent anti-virus solutions present in the market."
"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."
"CrowdStrike is an excellent tool for managing all endpoint-related security tasks."
"We have seen returns on our investment in more than thousands of instances, which is the most important part for us."
"I like that Trend Micro ScanMail is very effective and quite strong."
"I find Trend Micro ScanMail to be a stable solution, and I would rate its stability as nine out of ten."
"Trend Micro ScanMail is scalable at different levels."
"The analysis part is good."
"The most effective feature of ScanMail is its real-time antivirus behaviors, particularly when it scans URLs."
"It does the job. Even when our clients have a very high rate of emails per second, there has been no problem."
"Its integration with mail platforms is valuable."
"What I like the most about Trend Micro ScanMail is its easiness."
 

Cons

"One area that could be improved about CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is its console; it should be more user-friendly."
"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."
"I think one of the limitations of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is the amount of interaction time when we interact with the file; I believe there is a limitation to how long we can interact with the file, along with the types of operating systems available."
"While CrowdStrike is a powerful tool, the user interface is cluttered with many features, making it challenging to navigate."
"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."
"As of now, there is nothing specific in need of improvement."
"As for room for improvement, we can mention that maybe some additional integrations will be beneficial to cover the whole use cases."
"The weaknesses of Trend Micro ScanMail are that it doesn't fully protect ad-based web access and lacks proper security for Outlook, iOS, and web browser access."
"Its user interface is pretty old-fashioned, and sometimes, it's hard to find the features that you are looking for. The user interface definitely needs some improvement."
"ScanMail needs improvement in its reporting, as it is currently weak in some areas."
"I believe there is room for improvement in better signatures, better reporting features, and more insight into the spam emails database."
"The price could be better. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective."
"ScanMail was one of the best solutions a few years ago, but it is no longer the best solution because of its old-fashioned management console. Customers associate it with something that is old because there is no change in the management console. It has old icons, and it is not fresh enough. It is also not easy to use or play with. The report engine is also old-fashioned. Customers want something easier, quicker, and cleaner."
"The price could be better. I think it's pretty good compared to other solutions as far as the features are concerned. It basically covers most of the stuff which we require for email security. But it would be better if they made it a little cheaper and more cost-effective. That would make it easier for us to sell it."
"Even Trend Micro ScanMail support staff are not familiar with this product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox is not cheap; however, whether it should be more affordable is a decision best left to the company."
"Price-wise, the tool is a bit above mid-range, maybe 7 out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive."
"It's a yearly subscription, but the price could be better."
"It is an expensive solution. I rate the pricing a seven out of ten."
"Its price is okay. It is not too high."
