"A very good and robust antivirus solution."
"It offers a really simple and minimally invasive installation for users."
"Check Point Antivirus ensures our organization's security posture by ensuring that everyone accessing the internet does so securely. It performs packet inspection, enabling all security blades to monitor and filter traffic constantly. This includes URL filtering to prevent access to unwanted sites and to protect against any attempts to compromise our network."
"There is a lot of documentation to be able to use this security feature in the best way using the best practices indicated by the manufacturer."

"Threat detection intelligence and high customization facilitation is the most popular aspect for customers and users."
"We like the sandbox feature."
"All the features are beneficial."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The stability is very good."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"One aspect that could see enhancement is the user interface."
"Check Point should provide some technical sessions on antivirus solutions."
"The cases of false positives should substantially be reduced to the greatest extent to keep the efficiency excellent."
"I would like to be able to see this integration of device analysis and verification - not just in native-integrated solutions - for Linux and iOS mobile devices, which are today a part of the larger group of devices and solutions that we have available."
"It is very difficult to get ahead of what's coming in terms of new threats, however, I think that Check Point Antivirus must improve against zero-day attacks."
"Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices."
"We'd like to see a friendlier user interface."
"The product should improve its pricing."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"In the six months that I have been using CrowdStrike, it has not been able to detect anything."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"I think there's an opportunity to enhance the AI or at least the traps to say, if something changes from this baseline, let us know and flag it."
