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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"It's really good because it can detect anything."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"I like that Webroot is very lightweight. It didn't bog down the machine, and more importantly, it had heuristics artificial intelligence to some degree. It wasn't like full-blown artificial intelligence, but something where you have one endpoint recognizing issues because it maintains a cloud database. If one client recognizes a threat, it would add it to the database, and almost immediately, every agent in the world would also know about that threat. That was very appealing to us. However, now it's becoming commonplace, whereas ventures like Symantec and McAfee were based more on the traditional model of definition and updates, and we were always falling behind. Webroot also has pretty good technical support."
"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."
"Doesn't consume resources or affect the computer performance at all."
"It is excellent endpoint protection for mobiles that does everything it says it will."
"It is pretty unintrusive. It doesn't take over the system like McAfee or Norton. It doesn't use a whole lot of resources. McAfee and Norton use a lot of resources."
"The main reason we had Webroot is that it was cost-effective for our clients."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"Its ease of installation is valuable. It has been a low-resource tool and the continuous updates in the past have made it attractive from the standpoint of the trust level on the protection."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day."
"The biggest issue occurred when every computer worldwide experienced a blue screen."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"Technical support is not the best. It's hard to get a hold of them if we need help. It's something that definitely needs improvement."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to focus on how they can widen their area of scope by not just being an antivirus tool anymore. The shortcoming in the customization area of the tool needs improvement."
"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."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"Their customer support should be better. We started having some issues with it, and we didn't get the required support."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"It would be nice if it had a feature for automatically generating reports on the client end for device status, security status and backup information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"The solution is very cost-effective."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"It is relatively cheap."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"The solution doesn't cost too much. It's about 30 Euros a year for each endpoint. It's pretty affordable for us and for many other companies."
"Work on a price tier plan."
"Get a trial, then a multi-year license."
