We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and ESET PROTECT Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a very scalable tool that can be used in a very small environment or in a very large environment. Everything can be managed from a simple dashboard and can be scaled up or down depending on the customer's environment."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"The unified view of the threat landscape on a central dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"Microsoft 365 Defender's most valuable feature is the ability to control the shadow IP."
"There is also one dashboard that shows us the status of many controls at once and the details I can get... It gives a great overview of many areas, such as files, emails, chats, and links. Even with the apps, it gives you a great overview. In one place you can see where you should look into things more deeply..."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"The incident threat response and its ability to facilitate effective remediation against threats are the standout features."
"I like the easy integration and advanced possibilities. We can implement it at customer sites in a few clicks, but we can also dive deep and drill down to extended features. There's a very good starting point to get into this product and all the features from Defender."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously."
"All the features are beneficial."
"Overall, what I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon is its good mechanism. It also has a good reporting feature. CrowdStrike Falcon is an invaluable tool because, through it, you can take quick action, for example, when an OS is missing specific patches."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."
"The solution doesn't have high memory usage."
"ESET PROTECT Enterprise is reliable."
"We can easily manage resources, disable or enable clients and update them."
"The most valuable feature of ESET Protect is the security while accessing any transaction, such as online banking systems. When I access a banking website a new browser opens which is more secure, which I find very useful."
"ESET is better in some ways than other vendors because it fulfills many areas where we'd otherwise have to use different products."
"The product enabled Zero-Day Protection for our environment. We never encountered any issues regarding threats."
"I like the dynamic groups feature. They give the ability to filter endpoint machines by any parameter, software, or hardware inventory, and that's a significant advantage when you need to, for example, automate a secondary firewall profile for endpoints outside your network. Or if you want to automatically isolate the computer from the rest of the network if the ransomware is found."
"It's helped us with restrictions and knowing which users we can provide permissions to and which users we need to restrict."
"The price should be adjustable by region."
"While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience."
"Microsoft 365 Defender does not have a unique package with emerging endpoint security technologies, such as EDR and XDR."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR."
"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."
"Correctly updated records are the most significant area for improvement. There have been times when we were notified of a required fix; we would carry out the fix and confirm it but still get the same notification a week later. This seems to be a delay in records being updated and leads to false reporting, which is something that needs to be fixed."
"We encounter occasional issues, such as when disabling network access for a host that uses CrowdStrike."
"The skillsets needed to run CrowdStrike Falcon are extensive if you want to get the most value out of the tool."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"In the future release of CrowdStrike Falcon, they should add a sandbox feature."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The tool is complex and expensive."
"ESET Protect could improve the performance. The performance of the home computers and laptops becomes slow due to their heavy software load. It would be a benefit to make a lighter version of the software which does not have any impact on the performance of the computer's hardware."
"In the current version of ESET File Security, you cannot download a file, it always wants the real-time upload which you have to wait until the file is ready. This is annoying. In previous versions, you were able to use the downloaded engine."
"Its automation can be improved."
"In terms of management accounts, there's a lot of manuals that seem to be mixed up. Sometimes, it's a little bit confusing."
"The availability and sustainability could also be improved."
"I would like to see more in managing mobile devices in an on-premise solution. The latest news I've heard is that ESET drops mobile management module development for the on-prem version. It's moving to the cloud. Like in endpoint client protection, I would also like to see more of the vulnerability management features and additional app control functionality in ESET Protect."
"The solution can be quite technical and therefore is challenging for new users."
