CrowdStrike

Avantages

Falcon is easy to use and easy to implement. It delivers the best containment and alerting rate in the market and gives good visibility from IT, IOT and Cloud.

Inconvénients

Falcon comes in at a steep budget point.

Avantages

It does not require any other agent on the client. You can start to use it on current agents on the clients.

Inconvénients

The software update policy was a bit uncontrolled.

Avantages

This tool gave us unparalleled visibility into our environment that we did not have with an old school antivirus agent.

Inconvénients

That the initial install on some systems did not go as planned.

Avantages

- It's a cloud-based tool, which means that unlike other tools in the market, you won't need an on-premises server for managing.
- It uses a light agent easy to install on the computers, and it reports no matter if the computer is on your LAN or not.
- Unlike other tools which only work with threats signatures, Crowdstrike uses AI to prevent, detect and respond to those threats in real-time. It can detect more specific things like strange behaviours, or more advanced techniques than the common tools.
- When a detection happens, you get a great level of detail which helps you to determine if it's a real threat or not, and solve it.

Inconvénients

- The learning curve is steeper than other solutions on the market.
- Some easy/common tasks in other solutions (like Computer Scan) are not as easy as in other tools.
- Sometimes it throws a higher amount of false positives than desired.
- Adding exceptions can be confusing.

Avantages

One of the best EDR solution in market. I really like the interface of the platform, it is so much user friendly. False positives are very less compared to the previous endpoint security solutions we have used. A light weight agent makes it a very stable product.

Inconvénients

Not much to say about dislike part but I can say it is costly compared to it peers and I feel the reporting feature can be better.

Avantages

Its features like automated responses and threat mitigation. No manual intervention needed. Cloud native architecture helps with minimal impact on local resources. It integrates seamlessly with third party tools and other components of the CrowdStrike platform which we use.

Inconvénients

The initial setup and optimization of integrations, Needs additional training and expertise for advanced features. Data retention must be for longer duration. Documentation and troubleshooting section needs to be detailed.

Avantages

Very small footprint for the Falcon agent on endpoint devices. It was very easy to get onboard into using Falcon.

Inconvénients

Some 3rd integrations could be improved and made better with.

Avantages

Great product. Very in depth scan. Sense of security

Inconvénients

Nothing. Great product and support is great to work with too.

Avantages

thred detection and function and low utilization of hardware.

Inconvénients

low graphic gui and detection custum dashboard, also like letest repoert function

Avantages

Analisis de amenazas por medio de IA, software utilizado por muchas empresas para la protección de datos.

Inconvénients

puede ser un poco excesivo su costo por licencia anual, para desinstalar algun antivirus como por ejemplo ESET, es necesario primero abrir windows en modo seguro, desinstalarlo y luego entrar en modo normal para instalar crowdstrike

Avantages

Uso CrowdStrike da un po' di tempo e sono davvero colpito dalla sua efficienza. La protezione in tempo reale e la facilità d'uso lo rendono uno strumento indispensabile per la sicurezza informatica.

Inconvénients

Essendo cloud-based, necessità di una connessione internet stabile per il suo funzionamento ottimale.
Inoltre non mi piace molto la gestione per le macchine MAC/UNIX.

Avantages

Knowing that our assets are secured and protected by highly skilled security staff 24/7 and that it is go to product for security makes me and the firm feel secure.

Inconvénients

Would like it to be cheaper, but the Anti Virus market is different now compared to 10 years ago and you get what you pay for.

Avantages

It is next generation end point protection

Inconvénients

I would prefer a non-cloud based option as that requires and Internet connection.

Best Live Control on computers.

Inconvénients

The new design is a little bit off,
and the MAC support is not the best currently.

Avantages

The app is incredibaly lightweight compared to other competitors like Sophos, which caused one of our webservers grind to a halt. The intergration with Slack is quite useful at pinging the team immediatley when we have high level security issues.

Inconvénients

The learning curve of dianosing issues is a bit more steep, and the support team insists on running a extensive windows memory logging before they will talk to you.

Avantages

Perfect choice for any organization who needs an endpoint detection and response EDR solution.Reliable End point Solution to stop modern day threat and Ransomware attacks. The solution offers comprehensive threat detection, prevention, and response capabilities. The solution can be enabled to protect all types of environments like on-prem. Cloud or hybrid models.

Inconvénients

Reporting is having limited functionalities and needs fine-tuning.

Avantages

The standout feature of Falcon is its integration with complete falcon platform natively. This integration brings together vulnerability detection, prevention and response capabilities into a cohesive framework of managing the threats.

Inconvénients

There may be few challenges that engineers could potentially encounter when using this solution, Falcon may require a certain level of expertise on managing the Vulnerabilities especially dealing with the payloads and also while dealing with the false positives that happens to consume time and resources while validating an alert.

Avantages

We transitioned to Crowdstrike from a traditional endpoint protection solution and the difference was night and day. Crowdstrike Falcon is easy to use and manage, intuitive, incredibly powerful and intelligent, uses a bare minimum of system resources, has a very effective uninstall protection, and is very easy to deploy.

Inconvénients

No cons. I highly recommend this product.

Avantages

Have used this product for several years across multiple organizations. Have seen good return on investment containing malware outbreaks

Inconvénients

Not too many. Slightly on the expensive side for licenses

Avantages

ease of deployment, less false positives and amazing GUI.

Inconvénients

This product is bt expensive and they work on their customer service.

Avantages

Very light solution to run on the computers, it is just a client that alerts the portal about the virus on computers and take some actions based on what were configured inside the portal.
Easy to install/deploy, not so many options to choose, it is very straight to the point, also the options and configurations inside management portal are pretty easy to use.
However, it updates automatically on the computers and servers.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it is not update automatically, and I had some problems to remove the software, the key that is used to install/remove fails sometimes. I can mention that the computers take some time to appear inside the management portal, and you do not know if it is working properly or not. Another thing that you can miss, you cannot run a scan on your computer manually, to find viruses or other malicious files, it is supposed to be monitored all the time through the portal.

Avantages

It detects a lot of threats and his easy to manage

Inconvénients

I didn’t find any cons for this product, really…

Avantages

It's really easy and fast to install the Falcon Sensor in the protected hosts.
Its resource consumption is barely noticeable -this was the very specific problem we had with our traditional AV security which motivated us to look into new generation technologies.
Whenever we have some malware detected, we have all the information we need about how it got into the host and what it attempted to do -whether processes were spawned, files or registry attempted to be seen or modified, if it tried to establish network connections, etc.- so our IT, servers and security teams have all the information they need to improve the systems hardening.

Inconvénients

Falcon provides only the antivirus / antimalware capabilites, so all the other functions we had with the previous technology are not available, like firewall, IPS, DLP, mail filtering, web filtering, etc. So, in the end we kept the McAfee agent to retain some of them, which means we are spending a little more on technology, but it gets balanced because less work is needed for malware diagnose.
