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.

While being easy to manage and create reports, the tool also offers a good UI

I rate the ease of use and management of Panda Adaptive Defense 360 an eight on a scale of one to ten. The tool's ability to provide information about the vulnerability is the most impactful feature of the product that has an impact on our company's security posture. Speaking about scenarios where the solution effectively prevented the security breach, I would say that our company sees how the tool blocks when our customers accidentally click on some malware, after which it quarantines that file. My company makes a playbook with the SOAR tool that Panda Adaptive Defense 360 uses to block and isolate attacks. In our company's system, if there is a big event that occurs, then to block the endpoint, we use SOAR with Panda Adaptive Defense 360 to block and isolate attacks or threats. The solution's real-time monitoring has improved our company's ability to detect threats if we use it in our company with Panda SIEMFeeder. Only if in my company there is a need to do some research, prepare a report, or if we want to change the policy, so it is not very often that we use the visualization part of the tool in our company. The reporting and analytics part of the tool has helped with the decision-making in our company since we combine different kinds of logs and situations from different ingestion logs, and we can configure a specific alert. In my company, we use the tool's data search functionality if required to check the information we need. Presently, our company uses the configuration alert and SIEMFeeder in our system. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."

"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."

"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."

"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."

"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."

"The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon."

"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."

"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that I like the tool's UI, ease of management, ease of making reports, and the ability to export information easily."

"It is easy to manage."

"The product so far has been good at protecting us. We haven't faced a breach."

"Great technical support staff."

"The feature I find most valuable is the advance search engine."

Cons

"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."

"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."

"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."

"The management of the solution could improve."

"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."

"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."

"The performance could be better."

"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"Panda Security Adaptive Defense’s stability could be improved."

"The software has performance issues due to its requirements on the processor, however, these issues are common with other vendors, not just WatchGuard."

"I'd like to integrate it into my main services."

"t would help if it would monitor the network better."

"The implementation was difficult."

"Needs a better way to scan the hardware to detect whether it's valid."

"The only part I really don't use as much is their firewall. It's a bit superfluous. Most people have their own firewall in place, so they don't really need that part portion of the solution."

"Panda Adaptive Defense 360 is not compatible with certain network devices like access points, switches, or routers, which would be an area for improvement."

More Panda Adaptive Defense 360 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."

"The solution's pricing is great for us."

"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."

"Annual licensing."

"Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."

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

"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pricing and cost advice

"Customers need to pay monthly licensing costs for Panda Security Adaptive Defense, which is not expensive."

"The price of this solution depends on the number of licenses that you are purchasing."

"The licensing costs are not too high. We pay about 20 Euros a year. It's a reasonable amount to pay."

"The licensing is subscription-based and priced well compared to other endpoint security solutions."

"There is a license needed to use this solution and it is approximately $30 annually."

"Panda is cloud-only and comes at a reasonable cost. It is a set price per seat."

"Our licensing fee is 1M Euro per month, so it is about 80 Euro's per user."

"The solution is priced well for what features it provides."
