Provides real-time monitoring and response to security incidents
At the moment, we have around twenty thousand users in our environment. Our setup spans multiple locations, mainly in Portugal, and we operate on various operating systems, including Mac, Linux, and Windows. Falcon, being a SaaS product, doesn't require maintenance on our end. Updates are needed for servers, but they can be easily managed through the web interface without causing any inconvenience for us. I would recommend conducting a proof of concept with CrowdStrike Falcon before making a decision. While the product has strengths, I would advise new users to address questions and doubts directly with the product team, especially when seeking new features or improvements. Ensure there is a clear communication channel for feedback and inquiries. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon as a nine out of ten.

A solution with a flexible dashboard that can be used for setting up data storage via ELM
Some of the solution's primary use cases include successfully adding devices through ESM GUI and setting up data storage via ELM Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference. With Trellix…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is its threat analysis."
"This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one."
"Among CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable capabilities are its UEBA and SOAR functionalities, along with its seamless integration with any other SIEM solution."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"There is a new feature where you can set thresholds for all the CPU consumption allowing for no consumption on the servers when the scans happen. It is a separate plugin or addon, and if we have it on all the virtual machines it automatically checks the resources, and based on that, it will schedule the scans. That is something that I have not seen in other antivirus solutions, such as Symantec."
"The product is fairly reliable."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"The installation is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"It provides a lot of information and great visibility, with really great options for managing the environment."
"One valuable feature is Threat Prevention with the on-demand scan."
"Would benefit with the addition of DLP features."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"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."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The current database schema presents challenges and has potential for improvement."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
"There are certain shortcomings in the features concerning DLP in Trellix, where certain additions must be made in the future."
"The solution takes up a high amount of memory and can cause the system to hang."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"Currently, Trellix Endpoint Security can't find the running mutexes, while other open-source products can do it."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"The endpoint has room for improvement because it's restrictive, it's very sensitive. Sometimes it can delete something that you need and so sometimes you have to disable the antivirus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"This solution has a very competitive price."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"Compared to Bitdefender, Trellix Endpoint Security is more expensive, but considering it comes with DLP, the solution's price is fine."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Pricing is reasonable and runs at a cost per user per year."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
