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."The best feature is threat hunting. There are a lot of other features I like, such as the alert mechanism. The chain alert mechanism has a huge impact. It combines all the alerts into one incident and automatically correlates them with AI."
"Within advanced threat hunting, the tables that have already been defined by Microsoft are helpful. In the advanced threat hunting tab, there were different tables, and one of the tables was related to device info, device alert, and device events. That was very helpful. Another feature that I liked but didn't have access to was deep analysis."
"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."
"The ability to integrate and observe a more cohesive narrative across the products is crucial."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"The common and advanced security policies for threat hunting and blocking attacks are valuable."
"Defender is easy to use. It has a nice console, and everything is all in one place."
"The comprehensiveness of Microsoft's threat detection is good."
"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Its integration capability is valuable. It integrates easily with any OS."
"The detection is very reliable. Also, OverWatch is a great feature."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"There's almost no maintenance required. It's very low if there's any at all."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"CrowdStrike Falcon has done an excellent job at detecting breaches. It has allowed us to stay in business and keep our systems up."
"It's very easy to set up."
"What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."
"It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM."
"Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest."
"Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up."
"It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies."
"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."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max."
"The tool gives inconsistent answers and crashes a lot."
"The management features could be improved, particularly in terms of better integration with Intune, Microsoft's cloud-based management solution."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"What could be improved in Microsoft 365 Defender is its licensing, e.g. it should be more consolidated and would be good if it has some optimizations. Improving the alerts and notifications, in terms of adding more details, would also be good for this solution."
"The price could be better. It'll also help if they can continuously update and upgrade the solution. Every day there's a new virus uploaded into the network, and we have to keep updating it to identify all these things."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"The interface could be improved. For example, if you want to do a phishing simulation for your employees, it can take a while to figure out what to do. The interface is a bit messy and could be updated. It isn't too bad, but doing some things can be a long process."
"This solution could be improved if it included features such as those offered by Malwarebytes."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The technical support team often just replies to an issue with a link to an article rather than actually calling back and talking to someone and making sure the problem is solved. To me, that's kind of weak."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"The console is a little cluttered and at times, finding what you're looking for is not intuitive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time."
"The pricing structure should allow for some flexibility."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced."
"Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement."
"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved."
"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."
"I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls."
"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."
"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."
"Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex."
