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.
Urs Schuerch - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that offers good UI and documentation
Webroot Business Endpoint Protection had sent me a physical installation medium, which was very easy to obtain and deploy. It was also easy to configure, and it had a nice UI. I didn't have any problems with the product. I think that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection is very transparent about the pricing models offered to users. The tool also maintains transparency about the features and specifications. Previously, when I compared the two products with Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I saw that with Trend Micro, it is very difficult to transparently find out what it offers and how much it charges for it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS."
"Enables us to understand what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled."
"CrowdStrike is a great solution."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"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 EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"Speed"
"It monitors traffic and keeps us from getting ransomware or other viruses."
"The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward."
"Auto-Remediation"
"Low performance requirements."
"The ease of use of the centralized admin console is its best asset."
"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."
"The traffic security monitoring, traffic application access feature called the agent, the main feature which is the endpoint security feature are the ones I found valuable. And it also had the in branch security in kind of SD WAN, good three hundred and sixty protection. It is specific and there is ease of deployment also present."
 

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"We'd like to see more integration capabilities."
"Forensic controls have room for improvement."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders."
"CrowdStrike should provide better visibility in its reporting. There should be more forensic details about detected threats."
"I did notice that my OS slowed down, but I don't know if that's due to Webroot."
"There should be a Webroot Business Endpoint Protection mobile app."
"They should provide more information on the type of cyber attacks."
"It doesn't do anything proactive. The virus has to hit the machine before it detects it."
"We need more control over when upgrades to the app are rolled out."
"Webroot Business Endpoint Protection needs to improve its ability to detect threats."
"I believe that Webroot Business Endpoint Protection should offer a more modern UI."
"The only complaint I have with Webroot is its inability to prevent UoD phishing and its inability to check against bots or block anti-attacks. Plus the URL server is in zero-definition."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more endpoints an organization adds the cheaper the cost."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable. I don't think we are getting charged more than what it is worth. It is fair, but I do not like how it is a la carte. I realize they do that so other organizations can buy and get the agent, getting it cheaper than you could otherwise. However, if you want the main core package, which has all the main features with the exception of maybe the multi-cloud protections, that can get pricier for an organization. So, you have to pick and choose what you want. I do not care for a la carte pricing."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is more expensive than other EDR solutions with similar features."
"There are three to four licensing models available to choose from for CrowdStrike Falcon. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon depends on the distributor and the reseller partner. The price we received was good."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"With Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, I can select a yearly billing cycle."
"The pricing is high."
"We evaluate other options using multiple choices, best value, management and functionality."
"Webroot is less expensive than SentinelOne."
"I can't recall the exact pricing, but I believe there is a monthly fee of $20-30 per user."
"From a pricing standpoint, I would rate it a four out of five."
"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."
"If you purchase for clients, then you are the managing billing entity. It's better to either get a monthly subscription check from your clients, or to prepay for the year (so as to not keep cash in reserve to pay the bill each month) IMHO."
