I have evaluated Cortex XDR and SentinelOne Singularity alongside CrowdStrike Falcon, and while all three are capable enterprise-grade solutions, Falcon ultimately stood out due to its cloud-native architecture, broader modular coverage, and stronger identity-focused detection. …
It was just a legacy AV program onboarded during initial setup days. As the org. As it expanded, its threat landscape also grew, and we needed a next-gen solution to protect against evolving threat vectors. Falcon EDR was the one that solved all these in a single place.
Depends on your network architecture.. NDR can be very expensive. EDR works on almost all network architectures, even those segmented networks. However if you rely on centralized switch and older style of network architecture, NDR should be asses and considered, especially if …
It stacks on top. We love the ease of use, the third-party integration, having AI, and the CrowdStrike team was way more helpful with our team, so that adoption was within a couple of months. We also compared prices, and the value was higher, with a faster ROI, which helps our …
There really wasn't a question. CrowdStrike is best in class and really doesn't have an equal in this space, any other threat protection vendor is a compromise in some area, and even though we are paying for the premier service, we can feel comfortable and protected with our …
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.

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.
Other products failed our testing when running viruses and ransomware on machines, where they only caught 20% of the time whereas Kaspersky prevented 90%.
Reliability and better performance aspect. Commercial is very attractive compare with other players in this space. Value for money with compare able performance in our case

Prior to the acquisition of Symantec by Broadcom, we used SPEC. The product worked, but with the transition of ownership, support and product access became an issue. This is when Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud came to our attention. Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud support …
I like KES Cloud because of the cost, and light weight for me and my clients, because they don't even know they have it installed and they are protected.
Honestly, I could not say that this Kaspersky product can be compared to the majority of the solutions I've mentioned earlier. As I already stated, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is suited for small businesses, while the other products, especially the first three, are …
We were analyzing the characteristics and prices of the other software and the one that best suited our needs was this one. The final reason that made us decide on this product was that it is registered in the CCN-CERT ICT Security Guide as a High level in the ENS.
The Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is one of the most robust and well managed security solutions when it comes to provide the security the user's and there data hosted on cloud. The reason behind implementing the Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud solutions in our …
CrowdStrike Falcon is ideal for large, cloud-native enterprises that prioritize advanced behavioral detection and have a mature SOC to manage their intelligence. However, its cloud-reliant architecture makes it a poor fit for air-gapped or offline networks. Additionally, small organizations with limited staffing may find it difficult to manage, while teams that require integrated SOAR and vulnerability management might be discouraged by the need for additional licensing to unlock those capabilities.
For me KES Cloud is well suited for any company, small or large since it has a proper solution for anyone. As it's named Endpoint, it is because of the tools it has to solve each one of everything that can arise, from a simple virus to a full hack attack, helping on each one of the configurable options within the console for each company and also added to this to a personalized Security profiles by level of management, this because not all of the users need access to certain sites, data, networks, even applications when using standard PC image (as an example). All this is great although for IT can be work but it makes a better control by user level experience and guidelines that each department needs to have.
Scalability: Whether you're a small business or a large enterprise, Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is designed to scale. It adapts to the evolving needs of the organization, providing robust security regardless of the size or complexity of the network.
Device Control: This feature empowers administrators to regulate the use of external devices within the network. It ensures that only authorized and secure devices can connect, mitigating the risk of data leakage through unauthorized peripherals.
Cloud-Based Management: The cloud-based architecture enables centralized management of security policies. This is particularly advantageous for businesses with diverse and distributed networks, allowing administrators to apply consistent security measures across the entire organization.
Advanced Threat Protection: Kaspersky employs sophisticated antivirus and anti-malware technologies to proactively identify and neutralize a wide range of threats. It doesn't just rely on known signatures; it employs heuristic and behavioral analysis to detect new and evolving threats.
Management console with multiple tenants gives an overall summary of critical level vulnerabilities. In my experience, you cannot click on the count and easily understand which devices are affected.
False positives occur. The positive is that Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud has a reporting mechanism that addresses these programs in a quick and timely manner.
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.
We have been using Kaspersky Endpoint Security products for several years and the jump to the console cloud has been very comfortable for us since we do not have to dedicate a server to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security console but rather the console is in the cloud so that we save the server and its financial amount, electrical expense, cost of its housing in the CPD.
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.
It allows us to roll out endpoint protection quickly from a cloud interface to hundreds of users within seconds and keep those devices secure. From deployment of BitLocker and keeping track of the keys from the interface has saves many users from stolen laptops and devices since we used Kaspersky as our main device protection.
Kaspersky is a market leader company, so I had no doubt that I could trust their cloud services availability. As of now, I haven't experienced any downtime on their cloud portal or any issue in the agent itself. I would recommend it in terms of reliability.
Most of the time performance is fine and there are occasation slowness challenges comes due to complexity of the program or heavy data load in the process. Some kind of cache mode option might help to remove these kind of problem. We have not integrated with any other systems at this stage.
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.
We only had to send a query to Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud support. We had a problem accessing the cloud console and we opened a case with them. They assisted us quickly and gave us precise and concise instructions to access the Kaspersky Endpoint Security cloud console.After completing the steps indicated we were able to access the console
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 Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud online training was very complete and access to the console and the main administration tasks were explained to us.Also how to view security events, customer inventories and reports.In addition, Kaspersky provides a large number of manuals, web help, and videos to refresh your knowledge in the future.
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.

The implementation of this product is easy, the console is mounted and from it the client is distributed to the rest of the computers. In this way, the Kaspersky Endpoint Security client is installed on all the computers in the company's IT park and its servers.The installation of clients requires that they have visibility with the console that is in the cloud.
I have evaluated Cortex XDR and SentinelOne Singularity alongside CrowdStrike Falcon, and while all three are capable enterprise-grade solutions, Falcon ultimately stood out due to its cloud-native architecture, broader modular coverage, and stronger identity-focused detection. Cortex XDR performs very well in environments already heavily invested in the Palo Alto ecosystem, particularly for network-to-endpoint correlation, but it introduces additional complexity and infrastructure overhead. SentinelOne excels in autonomous remediation and offline protection, especially with ransomware rollback, but is more endpoint-centric and comparatively limited in native identity and exposure-risk context. CrowdStrike Falcon provided the best overall balance by combining NGAV, EDR, identity protection, exposure management, threat intelligence, and managed hunting within a single lightweight agent and unified console, enabling better scalability, faster investigations, reduced tool sprawl, and stronger protection against modern identity-driven attacks, making it the most aligned choice for our security and operational objectives.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is a distributed product, you connect to the console and the client is installed on the computers and servers and the only configuration it needs is the console address. Then they connect and the console downloads the virus definitions and defined policies.There are no client limitations, you can even have multiple consoles if you want to have "separate" clients.
Due to some of the difficulties with Support and Sales, we are likely looking to change to another vendor. We sometimes don't feel like customers.
When the bluescreen incident occurred (worldwide outage) in July 2024, we were unable to contact support due to the high volume of calls at the same time. We had to figure out how to remediate it ourselves, which we did, and recovered before the vendor's official release of fixes. It shook my confidence in them.
The product itself performed well over the last 2 years, which has kept us safe and productive. The product is good.
After implementing the Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud in our organization the security has been improved tremendously also it provides the centralized management so it is very effortless to manage the resources and users on cloud.
The Cyber attacks on the users and there sensitive data has been reduced greatly.
If someone wants to grow there organizations business then Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud is the best platform for doing so as it reduces the overhead of managing and protecting the users from carious Cyber attacks.
