Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"The detection is very effective."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
More CrowdStrike Falcon pros
"The solution offers a lot of configuration capabilities."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"The most valuable features of ESET File Security are the performance and it doesn't take too many resources."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
More ESET PROTECT Enterprise pros
 

Cons

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool."
"I've found that CrowdStrike's technical support could benefit from increased technical expertise."
"The performance could be better."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
More CrowdStrike Falcon cons
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"Its automation can be improved."
"Sometimes, the connection to the machine requires troubleshooting."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"I would like to see more features on the reporting side of things."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"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."
"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."
"When it comes to licensing, customers can choose a bundle or select licences based on the specific features they would like access to. This solution comes with premium pricing. It is approximately 20 to 30% more expensive than competing solutions."
"The pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon is competitive."
"When comparing to Microsoft, CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive."
More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice
"There is a license needed to use ESET Protect. The licensing cost is very low, it is approximately $10 per license."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is affordable."
"The product is cost-effective compared to one of its competitors."
