Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection
We use CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection as our main endpoint projection product across the entire enterprise. We've got it installed on all company endpoints (desktops, laptops, and servers; haven't rolled out mobile devices yet) to protect our organization against viruses, spyware, and other attacks.

- Easy deployment

- Singe client (vs multiple with our prior solution)
We used Symantec Endpoint Security prior to moving over to CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection, and it's a night and day difference. Symantec Endpoint Security ran on Java and was a mess to deploy and even worse to remove. Clients would often break and lose connection to the server requiring hours of troubleshooting. When we had to contact support, it would take days to get a useful response if we ever got one. CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection addressed all those issues, with a modern client that's easy to deploy and remove. They have great support and a good customer support portal.
Yes - We replaced symantec endpoint protection with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection. Overall, it's been a great move for us.
We ran through a 30-day free trail of CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection. We had a dedicated SE assigned and worked with him during the trial to test out various features. Once we decided to purchase, we were able to enable the trial devices for production use by applying a new license key; no reinstall needed!
A few members of the team had heard about CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection over the years.
