User Testimonials
	Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud	CrowdStrike Falcon
Likelihood to Recommend	The endpoint protection is fantastic. Being able to recover a single file on the fly has saved many customers hours of frustration. Long term recovery of O365 data has worked well. I bit more difficult but not Acronis Advanced Backup issue, it has been MS issues. Nothing beats on premise backup / recovery speed but, when it is not available, Acronis Advanced Backup gets the job done for bare metal recovery. Ken Johnson President Read full review	CrowdStrike Falcon is well suited for any size of environment. Large to small, CrowdStrike Falcon does an amazing job. The ability to have the same security as a fortune 500 company and have a solution that sees the same threats that they are seeing is amazing. I do not think that there is a company or environment that wouldn't benefit from the CrowdStrike Falcon solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Local backup to local encrypted and protected hard drives Cloud backups of files, folders, or entire machines Vulnerability assessment of systems Antivirus and content filtering Remote control of systems Integration with Connectwise and other RMM and MSP tools Replacement that's better than Dropbox or Google drive Incentivized GK Guy Kittelson CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review	The Log analysis is very detailed and easy to use. Prevent and block all type of malwares. Great threat intelligence which is very up-to-date with the recent cyber attacks very user friendly in access and management Automated feature of detecting, taking action and closing incidents using fusion workflow. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	They do not sell their product directly, so a reseller is needed - or third party website to process payments for them in order to download the product suite. They have done away with stand-alone software purchases, and have moved to a yearly subscription-based model. It's affordable, but you never truly "own" the software now. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The Dashboard can become overwhelming at times, too much information to absorb Computers that may have made it out into the field without the endpoint sensor are very difficult to find As with all systems that rely on machine learning false positives occurr Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	They recently raised the pricing for backup usage and our price has nearly doubled. It is still lower than some other vendors, but we might review other options before renewing next year. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Crowdstrike has a large suite of tools built for helping the engineers triage and respond to security event whenever identified. The ability to customize the security policies and implement more granular policies to different devices based on the functionality is unmatched.

This platform integrates backup, recovery, and security features effectively, all in one. It makes our lives easier. Josue Ruiz Business Development Manager Read full review	I think it is a complete and very trustful XDR platform, with very few False Positives. It is very well supported by highly skilled professionals on all levels: from pre-sales engineers, Customer Account Managers and support engineers. Incentivized FM Fotis Mastakas Fotis Mastakas Read full review
Support Rating	Support has been helpful when we have had to reach out. We have not had to contact support that much so I do not have much feedback on them. I met the support team at the Cyber Summit and they are all very nice, smart individuals. Incentivized JN jesse nanes Systems Engineer Read full review	Support is generally pretty fast and gets right to the issue. We haven't had to use them much, fortunately, but the issues and questions we've had are usually answered quickly. The customer success manager/account manager you're assigned will also follow up with you on a regular cadence to ensure you're getting the most out of the subscription. There's not a whole lot of room to improve, other than the general confusion about what is/what is not covered in custom packages you're subscribed to. The initial purchase took much longer because of a package name changes and realignments of different modules into those packages. Incentivized Randy Munroe Information Security Analyst Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	There is limited amount of learning that can be completed in an in-person training available. In my opinion, the self-paced learning provided by Falcon portal is more useful over in-person training. The support from Falcon is great and useful to overcome difficulties, if any. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	The training provided by Crowdstrike Falcon is complete in terms of the depth of technical knowledge and teaches the users about going through with the platform. There are lots of jargons for different tools that Crowdstrike Falcon has and this training teaches them all which helps in managing the platform better. Plus, the regular knowledge checks are also very helpful for the end user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	Sophos has an excellent product. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, though provides the true integration with other security products and 3rd part systems that we need. In addition, the ability to secure the backups and scan for issues is a great benefit. Brent Sadler President/CEO Read full review	We were a former Arctic Wolf customer and feel like they worked more as a team with us. Cylance is what we're looking at possibly migrating to. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	We have been able to further develop our customerbase and and more MSP as our partners Overall the recurring revenue coming from Acronis, will help us to increase revenue and margin, without investing in new hardware and save on energy-cost. It is time consuming to implement Acronis into our system and train our employees. With this there is also cost involved, but we believe in the long-term investements we make here. Barber Brinkman Sr Business Developer Read full review	CrowdStrike Falcon's proactive threat mitigation has significantly reduced the risk of successful cyber attacks, resulting in tangible savings related to potential data breaches or system compromises. The cloud-native architecture and automated features have improved operational efficiency.
