Chose CrowdStrike Falcon
Sentinelone is bit complicated language use in there console in compare to CrowdStrike Falcon. CrowdStrike Falcon have much big modules and features but sentinelone don't. CrowdStrike Falcon have one single unified agent and in sentinelone bit confused in selection of agent …
CrowdStrike is by far the superior product as we have had zero problems since installing compared to Trend where is positively failed us. We switched and again have had zero issues with the product and it protects our environment as it should without much interaction.
CrowdStrike Falcon is way ahead of Symantec, and covers features that defender XDR doesn't, even if you purchase all the addons. I think the only real competitors are Sentinel One, maybe Palo Alto or Huntress, or Carbon Black.
In my opinion, CrowdStrike Falcon provides superior detection and prevention capabilities over Jamf Protect. At the time we purchased (2017) CrowdStrike Falcon was more advanced than SentinelOne and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
CrowdStrike Falcon is an industry leader in this sector and is superior in its low overhead agent, having minimal impact on end-users. We plan to migrate our macOS fleet when our existing contract expires.
Advance detection capability.Overwatch threat hunt team which proactively hunts your environment Interactive sandbox. Reduced false positives & ease of whitelisting to granular level.AI and ML can analyze events to identify subtle patterns that might indicate malicious …
In my opinion, CrowdStrike Falcon does a better job of detection than Carbon black in all forms. Compared to SentinelOne XDR, CrowdStrike Falcon does a better job of finding potential threats even though the machine learning based detection cause more False Positives than the …
It is superior on the following two: Advanced threat detection because AI and ML can analyze vast amounts of data to identify subtle patterns that might indicate malicious activity, even zero-day attacks (previously unknown threats).Reduced false positives because it can help …
At the time of purchase CrowdStrike provided the best featureset and value proposition for the organisation. The cloud first nature of the product and the mix of heuristic and behaviour based detection technologies was better than anything else that we looked at.
CrowdStrike Falcon is the market leader so is head and shoulders above these products. These products work of old school methodologies of detecting malware which are no longer fit for purpose.
It was the easiest to deploy and manage, while the dashboard was also very clear and precise in terms of useful information. Another major reason in selection CrowdStrike Falcon was its AI and ML detection capabilities which really impressed us during evaluation. Other tools …
We moved on from Symantec and compared with Sophos - the impact (performance) to the endpoint is very minimal - our engineers always fight new security tools. During testing, they were running CrowdStrike for 2 weeks when they asked when we would install the new EDR tool to …
Before choosing CrowdStrike Falcon, we evaluated alternative solutions such as Symantec and McAfee. However, CrowdStrike Falcon's cloud-native approach, advanced threat hunting capabilities, and real-time visibility into endpoint activities set it apart as the optimal choice …
Next Gen antivirus solution. You don't need your own infrastructure for the service. Deployment is very easy and fast. Only one sensor on the clients with very low CPU impact. Easy multi factor deployment. Good overview in the console over your entire envirement. Very good and …
At the time we evaluated the products, CrowdStrike was clearly leading in this space. It's possible since that time so other products have added additional features and may be equivalent.
CrowdStrike Falcon's cloud-native architecture gives it an edge in terms of scalability, ease of deployment, and real-time threat intelligence updates. The user interface of Falcon is intuitive and offers clear visibility into our organization's threat landscape. Our team felt …
When we looked, we narrowed to two choices Sentinel One and CrowdStrike. We chose CrowdStrike due to the use of AI backed up with Human Security experts to investigate detections and issues.
Kaspersky EDR Optimum is the evolution of Kaspersky Endpoint Bussiness, a more complete product, which runs the same software on Windows 11 and Windows Server. Now, we already use Kaspersky Sandbox on-premises, which has now been unified with KEDR as Cloud Sandbox. These …
Kaspersky EDR Optimum having all features of EPP and on top of it EDR functionality also, EDRO giving complete Root cause analysis, immediate response, host isolation functionality as well
After several evaluations we concluded that the kasprsky provider has a solution for each processing environment we have.This impacts an excellent cost-benefit for achieving economies of scale on the company's infrastructure. On the other hand, we verified that during its …
I do not currently use Kaspersky any more (it was a business decision, not a technical one). However, having the knowledge now, I believe it would not be the winner. However, it will be definetly above Trend Micro (for many reasons). However, it might be a balance between …
Kaspersky EDR Optimum provides an advanced endpoint security suite equipped with layered protection technologies, top-tier security measures, and automated responses. Kaspersky EDR Optimum stands out from other solutions by being accessible through both cloud-based and …
Kaspersky EDR Optimum is similar to these other products, but also differentiates by having the AI driven threat detection. The other products are great for what they do, but Optimum goes above and beyond these. The ability to identify new threats quickly and constantly adapt …
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.
I’m convinced that the key is guaranteeing the 100% of coverage, with the best configuration possible and without pain or hit at resource consumption and harmonies performance.I would like that the solution detecting, inventorying, and alerting about some host/device unknow or don’t register in KSC. Don’t depend on Device Detection function.
KEDR Optimum is helping to see threat kill chain formation, which helps to get clear picture of the what exactly attacker was trying to do during attack.
We are crating prevent execution rules to block the threat in our complete infra.
Ioc scan to validate and remove the any active threat entry from our endpoints
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. Crowdstrike provides so much of ability in a decent budget which ascertains the value for money or ROI.
At the moment and unfortunately we'll not renew our licenses, due to the Russian conflict and the company policy that has forced us to get rid of any Russian related product. Before that incident, we were very happy with the product and we did not even think once about changing it... Maybe on the future...
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.
This item can always be improved, perhaps by pre-elaborating very long reports, such that they are built progressively so that when the user wants to consult them, the delay is minimal. It would also be interesting to have a warehouse of reports, which serves as a repository where they can be consulted whenever needed, adding AI capabilities that allow data to be linked together and improve the analysis and possible correlations of events.
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.
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.
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.
Kaspersky EDR Optimum is the evolution of Kaspersky Endpoint Bussiness, a more complete product, which runs the same software on Windows 11 and Windows Server. Now, we already use Kaspersky Sandbox on-premises, which has now been unified with KEDR as Cloud Sandbox. These improvements and unifications have made life easier for Security administrators.
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.
The platform's real-time visibility and threat hunting capabilities have drastically improved incident response times.
