"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."

"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"I would like to see integration with other vendors going forward."
"It would be better if updates could be downloaded, and deployed, on-premises to avoid low bandwidth causing issues."
"They should make it faster, less taxing on the processor."
"They can include advanced scanning and improve reporting. I scan malware on the pen drive. Some more reports need to be added for that. It should also provide better protection because we have a new version of the malware."
"The product has major problems in almost every facet of setup and use including setup, configuration, lack of functionality, lack of stability, false positives, questionable reporting, inability to protect from randsomeware and poor technical support and development."
"Strictly in terms of cyber security, the release cycle should be quarterly, at most. It shouldn't be more frequent than that because, for one thing, keeping up with tech support is difficult."
"It's not good in search hunting."
"The online reporting needs to be improved. Currently, we have to look at it online, and if we want to download a report, it just downloads as an Excel file. It's just raw information. There needs to be some way to better display it when it's downloaded."
