Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection
We're using Falcon Endpoint Protection across the organization, on user workstations (both on premises and remote) as well as Windows and Linux servers. It helps us prevent threats as well as provide intel to investigate threats.
- It's strong with its EDR capabilities. It's able to collect very useful information for an investigation.
- Very lightweight agent doesn't interfere with user activities.
- Customizable to get the amount of alerts that can be investigated without getting overwhelming.
- CrowdStrike University doesn't have a lot of content, it can be completed in a few hours.
- Improved peace of mind that endpoints are secure.
- Access to EDR without breaking the bank.
- Faster threat investigations.
- Webroot Business Endpoint Protection, Sophos Intercept X and BlackBerry Protect (CylancePROTECT)
Overall I found CrowdStrike Falcon's EDR capabilities superior to their competitors. Also, the user interface has taken its time to mature and is very intuitive and has a natural flow. Policy configuration and assignment as well as the features and settings within the config were more complete and met all our requirements. Lastly, the agent plays nice with everything else running on systems. We hardly ever have issues of Falcon interfering with users or services, and false positives are kept at a minimum.
Not Sure
We did use a trial, and worked with account rep to extend the trial to finish testing scenarios we wanted to cover, and our request was accommodated to ensure we could do proper testing.
Not sure where I heard from CrowdStrike first, but it's been a leader in the EDR space for some time now.
