We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Fidelis Elevate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I have found the ability to delete unwanted threats beneficial."
"All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus."
"It's a great threat intelligence source for us, providing alerts for things it detects on the network and on the machines. We've used it often when there is a potential incident to see what was done on a computer. That works quite nicely because you can see everything that the user has done..."
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"The most valuable feature is the network security."
"The product integrates security into one tool instead of having third-party security tools."
"Microsoft Defender's most critical component is its CASB solution. It has many built-in policies that can improve your organization's cloud security posture. It's effective regardless of where your users are, which is critical because most users are working from home. It's cloud-based, so nothing is on-premise."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"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."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The solution is silent and sits on your system as one single agent."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"Everything we've done with CrowdStrike is due to Arctic Wolf. We don't even need to get alerts from CrowdStrike anymore. It'll send those to Arctic Wolf, and then Arctic Wolf analyzes those and let us know if there's a major issue."
"It is an easy product to deploy."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours."
"There are many valuable features. The NDR gives very good network visibility, and the endpoint module has a great feature called "Live Connect" for remote connections. They also have "Tasks" that can be run on endpoints to gather specific information or retrieve logs."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly"
"The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten"
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"The cost can be high if you want to build custom license packages. Another area for improvement is the policies. In Azure, we need to implement policies in JSON format, but in 365 Defender 365, it would be helpful to use a different format so we can customize the platform."
"The web filtering solution needs to be improved because currently, it is very simple."
"It would be highly beneficial if CoPilot could identify anomalies within the network and notify the IT team."
"One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"Microsoft Defender XDR is not a full-fledged EDR or XDR."
"Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR."
"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"Falcon could be improved with more function on the mobile end of things and better optimization with mobile devices."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."
"We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
