Use Cases and Deployment Scope

CrowrdStrike Falcon Use Case was very simple in terms of utilization of computing power during the scheduled scan. With Falcon Pro, we have achieved it and the result is fabulous. All endpoints are working normally and the security they have been provided is outstanding. I don't have to manage a single infrastructure for Anti Virus Management. The whole solution is cloud-based and everything you can manage from anywhere in the world. That is the beauty of this product.

Alternatives Considered

N/A

Products Replaced

Yes - We have replaced it with Securite Total Security. It is using lots of computing power from Endpoints while performing a scheduled scan. Also, every time monitoring is required for Endpoints signature update and needs to perform the manual process to update the missed out Endpoints which is really annoying. The CrowdStrike Falcon has eliminated all such issues with just easy deployments and complete insights.
