We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Huntress based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"This is stable and scalable."
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"The stability is very good."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's scalability is good. We have thousands of students using this solution."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector."
"The EDR and XDR features have been most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"Falcon's best feature is its detection and blocking of threats."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"It is very easy to use. It is a great solution. They are one of the better vendors that I have ever worked with since I have been in the industry."
"While threat hunting is undoubtedly the most valuable feature, the combination of IP scanning, foothold identification, and canary monitoring has also proven to be incredibly beneficial."
"It is incredibly efficient for our engineering team because Huntress provides all the information needed to fix issues, not just flag them."
"Huntress helps by highlighting potential issues, allowing us to take proactive measures."
"It catches things that no one else catches. We occasionally have things slip through antivirus and other things, but Huntress catches them. It is awesome as an additional layer of defense on top of other things."
"I have found it valuable that this solution is always there and always armed."
"We don’t have the required staff to watch the issues that are happening. It is good to have a team from Huntress who can watch the logs 24/7. The tool’s automatic remediation is also fantastic. The solution’s interface is also nice and easy to use. The Huntress team saves us time by going through the issues."
"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."
"Intelligence aspects need improvement"
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"The Integration with tools, SOC tools, could be better."
"CrowdStrike Suites and the way that it bundles things can be a bit challenging. It should be easier to integrate with the other stuff that they sell or be included with what they sell. We have one piece, then they are talking about another piece on vulnerability management all of the sudden, and we don't own that piece. We can see it in the console, but nothing shows up. It simply appears within the tool as an option, but we can't use it without purchasing it."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"Some of Falcon's features are a bit pricey."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"The installation process for this software needs to be simplified."
"Unfortunately, native applications are not supported."
"The Huntress is not a standalone solution. It really needs to be used with something else such as Microsoft Defender or another antivirus solution. It would be nice to see the product fleshed out by the Huntress team and include the antivirus solution part as well. I want it to be a full-fledged XDR product. It would push the tool to a higher price range but it would be nice to see the fleshed out features. I want them to integrate more features from the XDR realm."
"I would like the API to be a little better. They are getting there."
"The application control system could benefit from improvements in identifying and managing both whitelisted and blacklisted applications."
"We need an API to automatically retrieve metrics and data about backend activity so we can generate client reports."
"I am anxiously watching to see how they evolve their MDR for Office 365. If anything, I would like more automated remediation capabilities in their MDR for Office 365."
"The solution's UI is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"One area for improvement in Huntress would be to allow for PSA integration from a specific IP address or hostname for better security measures."
"Huntress' Process Insights feature could benefit from more robust search and filtering capabilities."
