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.

Has a good dashboard and is stable, scalable, and easy to implement
The dashboard is good During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved. I've been using this solution for four or five years. It is a stable solution. Norton Security Premium is scalable, and we are expanding our license. The architects and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"The ability to remote into other devices for investigation and the way it presents a graphical representation of the detection, like the parent-child process, are valuable features."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"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."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the quick installation."
"The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection."
"We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers."
"The product is called Norton 360 all-in-one. It is a full product."
"Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface."
"It does not take many resources during scanning."
"Protects me from internet vulnerability."
 

Cons

"This solution is relatively expensive."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail."
"It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data."
"Sometimes the program is too complex."
"During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved."
"Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly."
"The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem."
"The product is an antivirus, it should be updated automatically when needed."
"I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The tool is a little bit expensive compared to other products, but I think it's okay owing to its quality."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive and should be reduced."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"Pricing for this software is competitive."
"The solution gives the value for the money."
"I don't pay for a license."
"The licensing fee for this solution is not expensive."
"If they could come down in price that would be good. It's not exactly the lowest."
"As I have been a long-time customer, I was given a fair price of $49.95 per month for the first four to six months."
"Security Premium is highly-priced."
"We have a yearly license, and each license is around 20 or 30 Jordanian Dinars plus taxes."
