Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Provides information on leaks in the dark web, the deep web, and credit cards
ZeroFOX is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Before using ZeroFOX, users should also get demo sessions from other vendors. Then, you will get a better picture of ZeroFOX and how it works. ZeroFOX is a very good tool that will provide value if you can afford it. One of the key advantages of ZeroFOX is that it has a team where everyone is skilled in programming and scripting knowledge. If my team has some task, we don't have to go through the engineering. ZeroFOX is very easy for a beginner to learn. I would recommend ZeroFOX to other users. Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"The EDR is amazing and ease of integration with Splunk is a big plus. Integration with BigQuery is also a plus for me and workflow creation is easy. Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon is a great product."
"The product provides good monitoring features."
"I like the detection rates of mobile threats."
"The 10 hours a week that we are freeing up from having to manage and monitor our AV solution has really allowed us to focus on other areas of the business. This has been a huge return on investment."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
More CrowdStrike Falcon pros
"ZeroFOX has no language limitations. It can detect many languages."
"The best thing about the tool is that its backend team is pretty good and has a strong engineering team."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve the policies themselves. It would be helpful if there were cost-cutting measures."
"The solution should have included remote wipe capability out of the box."
"The new interface, the UI, seems a bit messy."
"The solution could improve the policies themselves."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the logs by making them free to the API."
"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."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."
More CrowdStrike Falcon cons
"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 price of CrowdStrike Falcon is reasonable."
"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"I'm not directly involved in sales, so I can't comment on the exact price, but I know the price decreases the higher the quantity we purchase."
"The pricing is definitely high but you get what you pay for, and it's not so high that it prices itself out of the market."
"The price of CrowdStrike Falcon is expensive."
"This solution offers annual subscriptions. The pricing for this solution could be reduced."
