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

"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"The solution offers great stability."
"CrowdStrike has improved our incident response capabilities."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"It is very light. It is the only solution that can be installed on a machine that already has an antivirus. It is a pretty complete solution."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"Their policy management, their cloud-based dashboard and user interface are very easy to navigate."
"The solution is very simple and straightforward to use."
"Speed"
"We've not had any issues with scalability. If an organization needs to expand, they can do so quite easily."
"The feature we found most valuable is the AI functionality for maintaining endpoint security. This is very powerful."
 

Cons

"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"I want Webroot to be easier to use and set up. It is not very intuitive."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"It needs to improve the problems with the faster connection, and have a huge reduction in false positives."
"We need to know more details about how the virus interacted with the computer."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"The console spins up relatively slowly, and some of the configuration items are obscure (e.g., reporting back one time per day is a default setting) and need to be tweaked."
"Webroot is very reactionary. It waits until the threat is active within memory to try and detect it. They need better pre-execution detection and prevention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"It is an expensive product, but I think it is well worth the investment."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"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."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"Our strategy was to overestimate the complexity and cost. It turned out that Webroot's assurance was justified."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"It is relatively cheap."
