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.

Efficiently identify and address online threats with timely alerts and thorough takedown capabilities

The most valuable features are its threat intel platform, which provides the latest trends and indicators of compromise (IOCs) that I can act on. I quickly obtain data, such as leaked email IDs and passwords, from the ZeroFOX ( /products/zerofox-reviews ) portal or the threat intel portal when required. The platform's GUI-based features stand out and provide thorough takedown capabilities for domains, social media accounts, and phishing numbers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard is good, and we haven't had any problems with it."

"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."

"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."

"The ability to execute real-time response, or, that you can connect to the agent and see exactly what processes are operating, is the most important feature of this solution."

"The solution offers great stability."

"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."

"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems."

"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."

More CrowdStrike Falcon pros

"I rate ZeroFOX a ten overall."

"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."

"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."

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."

"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."

"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."

"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."

"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."

"I want more ability to customize how you summarize the data. The default views are fine, but it would be interesting to be able to customize them based on the kind of data you want to see immediately. This can help the administrator gain an immediate overview and reduce the investigation time."

"CrowdStrike Falcon by itself does not supply in-depth reporting."

"In CrowdStrike, with the variety of security tools available, learning the different query languages can be challenging."

More CrowdStrike Falcon cons

"ZeroFOX needs improvement in handling duplicate alerts. If an alert on a domain, such as abcd.com, has not been addressed or is still in progress, similar new alerts are not combined into a single incident."

"Social media takedowns are a major issue. The takedowns should not take more than two to three hours."

"ZeroFOX is not configured to grab the information automatically, including the news."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is usually a challenge in the industry. I think we pay around sixty-eight dollars."

"I am not aware of the price, but I believe that it is among the most expensive XDRs out there. Of course, this is dependent on the features you choose. Depending on the features, the price might increase."

"The solution isn't very costly; it's affordable."

"I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."

"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."

"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."

"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."

"We bought a very small number of licenses, then ran it for a year. We bought a 100 licenses for a year, so we didn't actually do a proof of concept. We just bought them. Then, the next year, we bought 10,000 licenses."
