Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.

The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly
The tool is installed on my laptop, and it works fine. I am not using the tool as a SOAR security product. I use the tool for my personal system and not for the server The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email. The tool's price is an area of concern…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"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."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers alerts if I get a spam email."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"The performance is fine."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The solution has good performance."
 

Cons

"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."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The tool's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The updates must be less frequent."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are fairly good. It is definitely not a cheap product, but I have felt that it is worth the money that we spent. So, we have discussed it in the past, and were like, "Yes, it is probably pricier than some other solutions, but we also feel they really are the leader. We are very comfortable with their level of expertise. So, it's kind of worth the price that we pay.""
"While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours."
"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."
"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."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"There is no license required to use this solution."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The price is fairly acceptable."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The tool has a yearly licensing."
"On a scale of one to ten, if ten is the most expensive and one is the cheapest, I rate the price as nine."
"During procurement, we discovered that acquiring licenses in packages or bundles, such as the one for 20 users, was more cost-effective than individual licenses."
