Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Ondrej Kováč - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced cybersecurity solution for attack based vulnerability mng. and upskill platform for SOC.
While Cymulate's technology shows great promise and delivers excellent results, their approach to positioning the solution appears to overlap with other companies like Tenable, making them both direct and indirect competitors. Cymulate must refine their messaging and manage expectations effectively. In my experience, they need to be more attentive internally and mindful of potential negative impacts on customers. They exhibit a high degree of flexibility, which can result in sudden changes without adequate alerting. Communicating with them via phone for business matters can be challenging. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Cymulate's technology level at eight, but their business level at four 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

"Zafran is an excellent tool."
"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"We haven't had any infections or down time."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The reporting capabilities are very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the zero-day."
"Cymulate is easy to set up, install, and configure."
 

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."
"The KDR solution is immature. They do not have much preemption in ITDR. Threat prevention should be their first priority, and false positive reductions are needed."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The tool is more expensive than other products in the market."
"The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"We sometimes get false positives."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"Any kind of integration that you want to do, such as using the API to connect to a SIEM, is complex and it will be expensive to do."
"The cost can be quite high, and it impacts scalability as more simulations require additional expenses."
"The product must provide consultancy for initial setup."
"The reporting process requires significant improvement as it often takes longer than expected and the quality is lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is one of the more expensive endpoint solutions on the market."
"The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs."
"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
"The product is affordable."
"Cymulate's services are expensive."
