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

"It has good features for threat detection."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"Easy to use, intelligent, and stable threat detection software."
"I find nothing to miss in terms of stability; there are no glitches, and the solution is stable."
"The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that."
"I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"We are now able to find the root cause analysis on any threat. We can figure out where the issue came in versus just dealing with where it is at the moment."
"The solution has many features. It is very easy to define and set the policies based on the user groups, it does not take up a lot of resources in operation, and has provided us with a good track record of protection."
"The Webroot cloud console is very powerful."
"There aren't any features that really stand out — I just want it to keep malware out of my system. To date, I haven't had any malware in my system."
"Valuable features include good scanning, very light footprint and management console that the client can access and (just as important) in which I can see status of groups of computers (I am a consultant, IT role)."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It took five minutes. I installed the solution myself."
"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 most valuable features of the solution include the endpoint navigation protection, the protection related to the EMS service, as well as the control and the cloud integration capabilities."
 

Cons

"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant."
"One of the biggest pain points is that it's not really ransomware-oriented. They will be able to catch some, but that's where Sentinel One is a better player compared to Webroot."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"The reporting is the weakest part of the Webroot console. Frequently, I export to Excel to massage something into it to pass on to others."
"We need to have a stronger defense against CryptoLock and other attackers."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"The solution could improve by providing better ransomware protection."
"Its detection capability for certain attacks should be improved. It should have better and wider detection for certain malware attacks. It could also have some sort of RMN."
"I'm not happy with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, for only one reason. It seems that it slows down my interface when I'm doing programming in Microsoft Access, tremendously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"Annual licensing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's price is good."
"Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint."
"We are on an annual subscription for the solution. There are not any additional costs."
"The pricing could be reduced. If it was more reasonable that would be great."
"The solution is pretty cheap, actually. At our level, which is at 2,500 endpoints, we're paying 87 cents an agent per month."
"The pricing is high."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is not too expensive. My licenses cost me between $300 and $400. It is really good price wise."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"We are on an annual subscription for the use of Webroot Business Endpoint Protection."
"It is relatively cheap."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"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."
