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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"We have seen a reduction to the performance hit to our operating systems."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"The solution offers great stability."
"I haven't observed any of the instabilities in the solution. It is a stable solution."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"They have a lot of features integrated from way back, which shows that the product developers know exactly what they're doing."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"It is very lightweight on the workstations, not slowing them down while still doing its job very well."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"I rate the initial setup phase a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy."
 

Cons

"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"Enhancements in reporting and forensic analysis could benefit the product."
"Unified threat management (UTM) integration."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"There needs to be more advanced analytics. It would make it a more powerful antivirus solution within the marketplace."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"In my opinion, the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon seems aggressive."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced. It is quite expensive if you compare it to other solutions, such as Blue Coat, Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"I think the price is fairly reasonable. I was really prepared to pay more, but the price is fine."
"The pricing is high."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
"It is relatively cheap."
