Find out in this report how the two Anti-Malware Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Check Point Antivirus is a cost-effective security solution for businesses and that's why its acceptability by various other fields and organizations is humongous."
"What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a strong tool for preventing malicious traffic and threats from entering the environment."
"The virus detection models orchestrate real-time monitoring of data with reliable reporting information."
"Check Point Antivirus is capable of scanning files uploaded from the internet or running through the network via Check Point gateways/clusters."
"It is very easy to manage the Antivirus blade, even for newcomers in our technical support team, which is a key area of interest for us."
"Check Point integrates well with other security products."
"Heuristic detection scans for suspicious characteristics that can be found in unknown, new viruses and modified versions of known viruses."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There are two things which customers really like about CrowdStrike. If they buy managed services from CrowdStrike, it offers them detection of security issues in one minute. If you buy their professional services, they offer insurance where you can claim up to $5 million if there's a breach. This is a huge upsell for customers."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The solution can scale easily."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The detection is very effective."
"Probably the most valuable thing to me is the real-time response piece. The fact that I can connect to an endpoint as long as it is on the Internet, no matter where it is globally. I can remove files from the endpoint, drop files on the endpoint, stop processes, reboot it, run custom scripts, and deploy software. Pretty much no other tool can do all that."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"Check Point should provide some technical sessions on antivirus solutions."
"The biggest thing would be the ability to update the SMO's and gateways through Gaia instead of always completing it through the command line."
"The solution is expensive."
"We need the ability to integrate this solution with the other existing solutions, such as Harmony."
"Check Point should always focus on emerging business requirements and should always be working proactively in meeting the requirements of clientele and users in a timely manner."
"While features are really good and promising to use and implement, a certain level of improvement is required in terms of software deployment across different business environments."
"I would prefer it if this solution was cheaper for everybody to buy it and enjoy these wonderful and distinguished characteristics."
"The next release can focus more on timely upgrades to enhance computing compatibility."
"We can do a threat analysis of any machine at any time, but that threat analysis is very limited."
"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."
"In terms of features, I would like them to add detailed logging functionality in CrowdStrike. Currently, CrowdStrike detects the threats immediately based on the IOCs and the signature-based policies or many threat behaviors, but in terms of logging those threats, it is not very good. The information that they provide in the logs is very little. They can build more analytics into it."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"They should provide us with good visibility for everything."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"The biggest issue with Falcon as a standalone product is it doesn't have very much reporting."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
