"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments."
"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 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."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"It has an extremely low footprint, so it has got minimum impact on the user end points in terms of CPU and memory usage."
"The solution offers great stability."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The product offers all the essential licenses compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and mobile platforms."
"It offers diverse features, such as antivirus protection, firewall, identity protection, secure VPN, device backup, password management, parental controls, and performance optimization."

"The most valuable feature of Norton 360 has been its robust notification system."
"The product’s valuable feature is the availability of support services 24/7."
"The solution has good performance."
"Norton 360 offers the best defense compared to other low-priced antivirus solutions. Its most valuable feature is storage and automatic backup. You can restore materials from the tool's cloud backup. It is encrypted with authentication."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The detection time has room for improvement."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"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."
"If CrowdStrike can further expand its support for XDR compatibility, that would give it an edge over all the other competing new products."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The product should be improved with more storage. Though included in its price, the tool's auto VPN doesn't work at times."
"I would like to see Norton 360 improve the speed of its cloud backup."
"The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper."
"There's a need for enhanced security measures."
"One area where Norton 360 could improve is the constant push for upselling."
"Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better."
"The integration with Android devices needs enhancement."
