We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Uptycs based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike and others in Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP).
"All of the security components are valuable including, antiphishing, antispam, and stage three antivirus."
"Having a single pane of glass for all Microsoft security services makes everything much easier. A security analyst can go to a single portal and see everything in one view. The integration of everything into one portal is a huge benefit."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft 365 Defender are the combination of all the capabilities and centralized management."
"Defender XDR has a feature called the timeline that lets you track all activities. It helps a lot with investigations."
"A crucial aspect for our team is the inclusion of identity and access management tools from the vendor."
"The attack simulation is excellent; initially, this feature wasn't very robust, but Microsoft improved what we could achieve with it. We can now customize our practice phishing emails and include our company logo, for example. Attack simulation also helps integrate with third-party solutions where applicable and provides an overview of our security architecture through testing. The summary includes areas for improvement in our protection and what steps we need to take to get there."
"The EDR and the way it automatically responds to ransomware and other attacks are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that Microsoft Defender XDR is easy to integrate with other Microsoft platforms or products."
"The anomaly detection is the most valuable feature."
"As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The detection is very effective."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"They have multiple great features."
"The patching capability should be there. Patching is something that you cannot do even though you see the vulnerabilities present in your environment. For patching, you have to depend on another solution."
"Improving scalability, especially for very large tenants, could be beneficial for Microsoft Defender XDR."
"In the beginning, it's difficult to navigate the system because it is quite large. Just trying to find your way and understand how the system works can be hard. After spending quite a lot of time searching it's a lot easier, but I wish it were a bit more user-friendly when you're trying to find things."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"The capability to not only thwart attacks but also to adapt to evolving threats is crucial."
"When we do investigations, it would be better if Microsoft could populate the host dashboard more. When we open any host for investigation, we want the entire timeline of what is happening on the host, including all the users logging in, their hardware, Windows version, etc."
"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."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Tighter integration around XDR could be included."
"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"They don't really have anything when it comes to scanning attachments."
"We end up facing a lot of issues after upgrades."
