IT Manager at Gigabit Technologies Pvt Ltd
Praises the user-friendly interface but experiences frequent deployment challenges
The advantages of CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox are if Falcon does not detect, it automatically sandboxes unknown detections and provides us with signatures to mitigate those detections.Behavioral monitoring detects when a user works on the same Excel and PDF files; if the solution finds unbehavioral detections in those files or temp files, it gets blocked.This is a cloud solution, and because of that, it's not our responsibility for maintenance since the CrowdStrike Falcon team automatically upgrades the solutions.There are no slowness issues from CrowdStrike Falcon Sandbox. This is a SaaS solution.
Tom Foal - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Klaatu IT Security Ltd
Stops ransomware before it executes and reduces response time for the team
A potential area of improvement for Deep Instinct Prevention Platform is their focus on file uploads and large data storage, backups, and other related areas. It is difficult to think of what they could improve, but low information provided by the system when it detects something is one area, particularly in scripting. Deep Instinct Prevention Platform detects malicious scripts but it needs better measures, perhaps signing scripts, so we can be sure that a script is created by a client, not by some malware. It is really about helping us triage incidents effectively, so a bit more help with the analysis of incidents, particularly what the Deep Instinct Prevention Platform agent has discovered, would be beneficial. We need to know what it has spotted that makes it suspect malware.
