One of the best endpoint security solution

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Falcon, with its ease of use and commendable anomaly detection.

PROS

Detailed analysis of processes, logon attempts, and great ability to sync with Splunk and Active Directory. Great dashboard to add to the best parts. The falcon complete team does a great work to ensure endpoint security is well

CONS

The falcon complete team sometimes does not provide additional details about False Positive events or why a software was classified malicious.

An excellent all-around Antivirus solution

As an admin, I am very happy with Crowdstrike Falcon and hope to continue using and managing it for many years to come.

PROS

We transitioned to Crowdstrike from a traditional endpoint protection solution and the difference was night and day. Crowdstrike Falcon is easy to use and manage, intuitive, incredibly powerful and intelligent, uses a bare minimum of system resources, has a very effective uninstall protection, and is very easy to deploy.

CONS

No cons. I highly recommend this product.

Reason for choosing Falcon

A more advanced, cost effective and overall better solution.

Reasons for switching to Falcon

Old antivirus solution was not that effective and was a nightmare to manage, not just in terms of hosts but of policies as well.

Good EDR, lot's of features and integration

We liked it. There are a couple features only available to Windows endpoints, but those features are slated to be on Mac OS X shortly. We are waiting on that. As a Splunk user, the integrated Splunk dashboards in the Falcon console are really nice and easy to use.

PROS

Good interface, lots of Splunk dashboards integrated in the dashboards. Good drilldown capability. Love the process execution tracking functionality

CONS

The interface took a couple hours (tops) to get used to, but it wasn't bad. There was a little snag with Mac OS X Catalina, but that's been resolved.

Reason for choosing Falcon

Very similar features, came down to price and SIEM integration.

Reasons for switching to Falcon

Needed better functionality that BD wasn't providing.
