ROI

Sentiment score

Sentiment score
3.5
Kaspersky Endpoint offers positive ROI, especially for medium-sized businesses, enhancing data security and client confidence.
CrowdStrike Falcon saves time and offers good value for money, especially for enterprise companies, because it can stop breaches.
It's very easy to deploy without many IT admins, saving time.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.1
CrowdStrike Falcon's customer service is praised for responsiveness and expertise, though some suggest improvements in speed and communication.
Sentiment score
5.6
Kaspersky support varies in effectiveness; premium support offers faster response, while others face delays and prefer local assistance.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the technical support as a 10 because they resolve many issues for us.
The CrowdStrike team is very efficient; I would rate them ten out of ten.
They could improve by initiating calls for high-priority cases instead of just opening tickets.
From my perspective, the local team and the support team of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert need to be more accurate and more responsible.
Kaspersky supports us; when we and the analyst with Kaspersky grade it, we are almost prepared to respond to our questions with my team.
I haven't used technical support from Kaspersky extensively, but I can rate it as good, around eight out of ten.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
CrowdStrike Falcon is praised for its scalable, cloud-based infrastructure, allowing easy deployment and expansion for diverse business sizes.
Sentiment score
6.7
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is scalable, supporting various enterprise sizes with potential third-party integrations for high availability.
It has adequate coverage and is easy to deploy.
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
There's no scalability limitation from CrowdStrike itself, as it just requires agent deployment.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
CrowdStrike Falcon is stable and reliable, though occasionally faces missed detections and minor disruptions during upgrades.
Sentiment score
6.1
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is highly rated for its stability and reliable protection despite minor console issues.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen.
I haven't found any issues with this particular solution, and there's no room for improvement for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert.
Stability issues are not complex due to the easy Quadrigia method in the console.
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon requires enhancements in reporting, integration, UI navigation, feature set, pricing, support, and compatibility with older OS.
Kaspersky EDR Expert requires UI improvement, better cloud integration, resource efficiency, wider OS support, and more affordable pricing.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
Threat prevention should be their first priority.
Deployment with the console directly, without depending on other workers to deploy the agents, would be beneficial.
Compared to my previous product, Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is not up to the mark; it's below my rating.
It should include zero-time protection.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon is pricey but valued for security, with per-device pricing and discounts possible for enterprises; free trial available.
Kaspersky EDR Expert is competitively priced for medium to large enterprises but may be costly for smaller companies.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
The solution is a bit expensive.
The pricing is nominal when we compare it with other solutions.
Compared to other products, the pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert is almost the same.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon provides lightweight, AI-driven security with real-time response, easy integration, scalability, and minimal false positives.
Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert provides advanced threat detection, strong protection, and affordability, ideal for financial institutions.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
Being an EDR solution, it helps us identify attacks in real-time.
Almost all our clients use the Patch Management, vulnerability, and integration feature.
The product is strong enough and capable of handling the type of detections as protection and security.
It detects most antiviruses and identifies viruses that other antivirus solutions don't detect.

Featured Reviews

Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.
