    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
    Crowdstrike is a unified platform for monitoring endpoint devices, whether they're workstations, servers, cloud-native machines, or even mobile devices. It uses AI/ML to monitor anomalies and suspicious behavior, including zero-day attacks. It is suitable for large organizations but may be costlier or less appropriate for smaller organizations, those who want an on-prem EDR setup, and those who need custom scanning based on compliance requirements.

    It's well-suited if you're really deep in the tech stack. If you're an exchange organization that's using the O365 suite, that's in Entra, that's in Azure, it's really great visibility. I think it probably falls apart very quickly if you don't have data from all those planes to feed it.

    Pros

    • I think from a coverage standpoint, it's pretty comprehensive. The areas it covers, of course, include the Microsoft stack, but also focus on using the definitive cloud apps integration to extend visibility and control to third-party cloud apps, endpoints, and even Macs. So those are capabilities.
    • Its comprehensiveness, its simplicity of creating the policies in one place, are definitely one of the plus points the solution has.

    Cons
    CrowdStrike
    • Support - we are often tasked with running down problems rather than being directed by support.
    • The sales staff we have dealt with are not very responsive or timely.
    • I believe this is a product built for installations of 300 users or more.

    • The main thing is that, within the product's story, some functionalities were deprecated, and traceability was one of them. That meant that before I could tell or pinpoint on a world map where a particular type of access attempt was happening, and now I cannot do that anymore. So that was useful because I could understand how far out a document made it, and then where the issue was. Was an employee trying to open it at home, or was it an external party altogether? I couldn't do that anymore.
    • The second bit that has room for improvement, is the fact that we have quite a lot of legacy documents that were labeled. So they are from previous versions of Office. And at the moment, since November last year, the already labeled documents are not being protected by the labels.

    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.

    I think it is very easy for the end user once it's applied. On the configuration side, there's a learning curve to that, but there's always a learning curve for anything. So I think the product does what it needs to do. It is easy enough to use.

    Any time we need to engage the Crowdstrike Falcon Complete Team, their response is switch, thorough, and they are sure to not close out any request until the customer confirms that they have provided an acceptable resolution. If I ever need anything from the account team related to the product, I also get a response from them within minutes typically to address my question. Top notch customer service!

    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.

    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.

    Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual functionality of DLP, there are other requirements that they just don't have the features for yet.

    • From an ROI perspective, being able to have a robust DLP capability within 365 and with eShare, again, providing the defensive depth and keeping data 365 gives both us as well as our customers an ROI by being able to not use third party repositories to share data externally and by keeping data inside of 365. It gives me much more visibility into my data landscape. One of the things we advise our customers to do when they're starting to explore the advanced capabilities of Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, for example, is to use that DLP product to monitor and understand the flows of sensitive data within the organization. By being able to look at that DLP, identify those sensitive niche types, and see which transactions occur internally within the organization, I get a clearer picture of what I'm doing.
