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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."

"All the features are beneficial."

"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."

"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."

"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."

"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."

"Since we deployed CrowdStrike, the network has become much calmer, and we now understand the sources of infections, which helps us prevent them from spreading."

"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The performance for Kaspersky is good, and it's not impacted our client performance."

"The most valuable features are the reports."

"Has some great features not available elsewhere."

"The detection engine running on endpoints works very well and provides a good protection level."

"We compared Kaspersky and Trend Micro. The latter is significantly more expensive. That's the main difference."

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is an effective protection solution."

"The most valuable feature of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is security. It has better security than other solutions, such as Symantec."

"We can scale the solution."

Cons

"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."

"Too many false positives."

"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"

"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."

"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."

"Some policies in the tool need to be fine-tuned. Customized IOCs need to be improved since they have certain shortcomings."

"The detection time has room for improvement."

"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is very heavy on the system resources. It uses a lot of memory and the system can become slow."

"The solution does not offer much support to its users in Spanish, so I would like to see them offer more support in Spanish."

"The product should release more frequent updates. The tool needs to improve its scalability as well."

"Documentation needs to be simplified and improved so that it provides good product awareness for end users."

"It consumes many system resources."

"The issue with Kaspersky EDR is the sandbox. I'd like to have the ability to manage it on the cloud as well."

"An area for improvement in Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is its technical support because currently, technical support is delayed."

"It's not a simple implementation."

More Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Expert cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."

"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."

"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."

"There is no license required to use this solution."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."

"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."

"This solution has a very competitive price."

"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Endpoint's pricing is good, especially compared to expensive solutions like Sophos."

"EDR is priced on the cheaper side. Licensing for EDR is available on a yearly basis for around 80 SAR a year."

"The price of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is in the middle range compared to competitors. The pricing model is based on the users using the solutions. The cost for us is approximately 2200 Algerian dinars. The price of the solution could be reduced."

"The solution's cost is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"We were on a three-year license to use Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response. The price could be better."

"We have been satisfied with the license of the solution."

"The product has a valuable pricing model. We need to purchase its monthly subscription."

"Pricing for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response is so-so when you compare it with its competitors. Its pricing isn't cheap nor expensive."
