We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Varonis Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ransomware Protection solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The features we showcase to potential customers are prevention, malware protection, zero-day protection, and application scripting. Vulnerability assessment is another valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the activity dashboard because it gives you a holistic view of your environment from a security standpoint."
"It seems to do a pretty good job of protecting the host. It offers good insights that it gives you when it has a detection. It's pretty incredible."
"CrowdStrike enables the infrastructure managers to visualize all the events and get information about the network."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered."
"Too many false positives."
"There are some areas where some customers would prefer a different service."
"It does take more time to scan than other solutions."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"Dashboard creation is one of the areas for improvement in CrowdStrike Falcon. Sometimes, management asks for a custom dashboard, so my team has to collect data from CrowdStrike Falcon, integrate that in Splunk, then create the dashboard in Splunk. The Splunk dashboard is more elaborate, so the CrowdStrike Falcon dashboard needs improvement. Another area for improvement in the tool is the malware detection report, as it needs to be more detailed and include some graphics so that if you want to present that data in a nutshell, it's easier to do. For example, the report should consist of some graphical representation that shows a month's worth of data. In terms of an additional feature I'd like CrowdStrike Falcon to have, it's the device posture assessment feature that detects the device posture within the network. Whichever device connects to the corporate network, my company should be able to analyze the device posture. Then there should be communication with the network, which means that as soon as a device connects, CrowdStrike Falcon can assess the device posture, detect its corporate asset, and decide whether it should be allowed on the network."
"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."
"The product is very complicated."
