Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is highly scalable, but effectiveness can depend on operating environments and resource needs.
In terms of scalability, I find CrowdStrike to be stable, and I have not encountered any limitations with it.
Its scalability is good.
When it comes to scalability, it is entirely based on premium models according to demand.
We started with 50 users, and now we are using it for 2,000 users.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
CrowdStrike Falcon offers stable, reliable performance across environments, managing endpoints effectively despite minor update challenges and connectivity issues.
Sentiment score
7.8
Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is noted for its stability and reliability, though it may slow systems during scans.
I have never seen instability in the CrowdStrike tool.
We are following N-1 versions across our environment, which is stable.
I find CrowdStrike to be stable; there are no issues, although there was one instance when we had an outage for updating the Falcon Agent.
 

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon users seek better third-party integration, intuitive UI, threat detection, support, pricing, and forensic tools.
Trellix MOVE AntiVirus needs improvements in threat detection, performance, user-friendliness, integration, and advanced protection capabilities.
False positive reductions are needed.
Simplifying the querying process, such as using double quote queries or directly obtaining logs based on IP addresses or usernames, would be beneficial.
Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options.
This solution will consume more resources for the end users, which is an area for improvement.
 

Setup Cost

CrowdStrike Falcon provides robust security at premium pricing, with flexible licensing but may be costly for some businesses.
Trellix MOVE AntiVirus is considered reasonably priced, offering discounts and valuable security benefits at approximately $35 per user annually.
It is expensive compared to SentinelOne, but as the market leader, it is worth it.
The licensing cost and setup costs are affordable.
 

Valuable Features

CrowdStrike Falcon provides advanced, efficient threat protection with AI capabilities, ease of management, and comprehensive detection and prevention features.
Trellix MOVE AntiVirus offers seamless integration, intuitive management, real-time updates, and strong malware protection with low resource usage.
The real-time analytics aspect of CrowdStrike performs well because we get all logs in real-time, with no delay, allowing us to take action immediately.
I can investigate by accessing the customer's host based on the RTR environment and utilize host search to know details for the past seven days, including logins, processes, file installations, malicious processes, and network connections.
CrowdStrike provides a lot of visibility in their tool.
We are using Slack Intelligence, which is also from Trellix, and Threat Intelligence, which are valuable features of this solution.

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.
Ashford Asante - PeerSpot reviewer
Centralized system, less stress on the network and runs smoothly
It functions like a standard antivirus – I scan, I get reports... it gets the job done as I configure it. Overall, I'm satisfied with McAfee MOVE Antivirus. I haven't experienced any compatibility issues so far. So, it also offers good integration capabilities with other tools. The quality of the reports depends on what you're looking for. They can be good, bad, or average. Overall, the reporting functionality is adequate.
