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.
Chose CrowdStrike Falcon
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.
Chose CrowdStrike Falcon
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 far superior in all aspects. I love the features and support they provide.

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.

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.

  • A key strength is their proactive cybersecurity posture. That's not nearly as common as it should be, especially with the level of awareness of the scope of the problem these days.
  • Another key strength is their global network. That level of visibility makes all the difference, in today's cyber wars where, and you can quote me: "When an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attack is just a matter of time, when even zero day detection is too late, radically different approaches are required if we are ever to win these cyberwars." That's exactly what Lookout has done, and continues to do.
  • One of the greatest cyber risks in mobile is what every one uses - apps! Apps from Starbucks to Nordstroms to banking to the myriad of productivity tools we all use everyday to exceed our business/productivity goals. Now with the ability of threat actors to trojanized apps, those Lookout scans that don't require you to do any upgrades, and their proactive cybersecurity posture are business critical for everyone.

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.

Usability
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.

Support Rating
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.

In-Person Training
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.

Lookout was chosen by T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T which many employees have chosen as their mobile network provider. From that standpoint, it made it a simple decision. Its cloud based technology gives insight across almost all mobile code in the world. Lookout identifies connections that would otherwise go unseen without deep investigation. It helps prevent cybercriminals from sneaking into mobile devices and that's the key component for any mobile security solution. MobileIron and other competitor solutions have a similar offering, but based on network provider support I haven't need to look into the competition extensively.
