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.
FarkhundAbbas - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides the ability to send detected malware to Kaspersky's sandbox environment for behavioral analysis
Kaspersky's support team is not that much supportive. If we need any help from them, they do not provide a good solution, and it takes too long to resolve the issue. This is the main thing because some cases are easy and need urgent resolution. However, when we create a support ticket, it takes three days to get it planned, and we have urgent requirements. So, the ticketing process needs improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"The best benefit of CrowdStrike Falcon is 99% MITRE coverage."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"The managed services are distinguished, responsive, dynamic, flexible, and assertive when taking action."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"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."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"It downloads essential security patches that are valuable for my PC."
"One of the good features is the provider's Faulting capability. If any of our systems detect malware, we can check the behavior of the malware by sending it to Kaspersky's sandbox environment. This helps us assess how destructive the malware is. After analyzing it, we can create use cases and protection measures based on that behavior. So, this is the best feature of Kaspersky."
"The tool's performance and prevention are amazing."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is its consolidated features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Kaspersky EDR offers automated response capabilities, enhancing efficiency by enabling quick investigation and response to potential threats on Android devices."
"It is a stable solution...It is a very scalable solution."
"We have a concept of working from home. Most endpoints are not in the domain. It is our first line of defense. While we had Kaspersky deployed, it gave good insight into the upcoming challenge or threat."
 

Cons

"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
"The solution must provide better security."
"Kaspersky is not an XDR solution. With an XDR solution, we could gain some more time."
"There are certain shortcomings with the UI of the solution. The UI is not at all user-friendly."
"Incorporating an AI protection tool with the capability to detect and prevent zero-day threats, particularly those with a five-star rating in terms of severity would be beneficial."
"Enhancing user-friendliness should be a priority."
"It needs improvement in communication between the network and endpoint, as well as between endpoint and server."
"Kaspersky EDR could be improved by adding network detection capabilities to enhance convenience and security."
"My team was struggling with the reporting when we were doing an audit. The console features are a little more interactive and user-friendly. There's some issue, or maybe some fixing has to be done."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution has a very competitive price."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"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."
"It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"The pricing is good and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"The solution's pricing is great for us."
"I was satisfied with the pricing of Kaspersky."
"I rate the solution's pricing model a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I would say that their pricing is generally competitive and attractive."
"The pricing falls within the average range."
"It is cost-effective in terms of services and features compared to other more expensive EDR solutions like CrowdStrike and Trend Micro."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The product is cheap."
