Falcon

Avantages

Falcon is easy to use and easy to implement. It delivers the best containment and alerting rate in the market and gives good visibility from IT, IOT and Cloud.

Inconvénients

Falcon comes in at a steep budget point.

Avantages

It does not require any other agent on the client. You can start to use it on current agents on the clients.

Inconvénients

The software update policy was a bit uncontrolled.

Avantages

I'm not sure about the monitoring portion of the solution - it's making us work overtime to assist them to clamp down on ransomware.

Inconvénients

Almost everything - they make us work at night/over the weekend. Instead of deleting the threat and rolling back, it locks down our servers. It would then require IT to work on the backend.

Avantages

One of the best EDR solution in market. I really like the interface of the platform, it is so much user friendly. False positives are very less compared to the previous endpoint security solutions we have used. A light weight agent makes it a very stable product.

Inconvénients

Not much to say about dislike part but I can say it is costly compared to it peers and I feel the reporting feature can be better.

Avantages

It is next generation end point protection

Inconvénients

I would prefer a non-cloud based option as that requires and Internet connection.

Avantages

The standout feature of Falcon is its integration with complete falcon platform natively. This integration brings together vulnerability detection, prevention and response capabilities into a cohesive framework of managing the threats.

There may be few challenges that engineers could potentially encounter when using this solution, Falcon may require a certain level of expertise on managing the Vulnerabilities especially dealing with the payloads and also while dealing with the false positives that happens to consume time and resources while validating an alert.

Avantages

I like the vulnerability management features
It is amazing as a cloud security and computer security software

Avantages

Durchdachtes Produkt was richtig konfiguriert die Sicherheit in einem Unternehmen erheblich erhöhen kann.

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.

Inconvénients

No cons. I highly recommend this product.

Avantages

The app is incredibaly lightweight compared to other competitors like Sophos, which caused one of our webservers grind to a halt. The intergration with Slack is quite useful at pinging the team immediatley when we have high level security issues.

Inconvénients

The learning curve of dianosing issues is a bit more steep, and the support team insists on running a extensive windows memory logging before they will talk to you.

Avantages

I appreciate how easily the network is monitored, including both incoming and outgoing traffic.

Inconvénients

Although network monitoring is simple, there is still room for improvement in terms of the graph user interface.

Avantages

It was solid, and not difficult to configure.

Inconvénients

It did not integrate as well with MS server platform as Norton

Avantages

Avantages

ease of deployment, less false positives and amazing GUI.

Inconvénients

This product is bt expensive and they work on their customer service.

Avantages

Very light solution to run on the computers, it is just a client that alerts the portal about the virus on computers and take some actions based on what were configured inside the portal.
Easy to install/deploy, not so many options to choose, it is very straight to the point, also the options and configurations inside management portal are pretty easy to use.
However, it updates automatically on the computers and servers.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it is not update automatically, and I had some problems to remove the software, the key that is used to install/remove fails sometimes. I can mention that the computers take some time to appear inside the management portal, and you do not know if it is working properly or not. Another thing that you can miss, you cannot run a scan on your computer manually, to find viruses or other malicious files, it is supposed to be monitored all the time through the portal.

Avantages

It detects a lot of threats and his easy to manage

Inconvénients

I didn’t find any cons for this product, really…

Avantages

It's really easy and fast to install the Falcon Sensor in the protected hosts.
Its resource consumption is barely noticeable -this was the very specific problem we had with our traditional AV security which motivated us to look into new generation technologies.
Whenever we have some malware detected, we have all the information we need about how it got into the host and what it attempted to do -whether processes were spawned, files or registry attempted to be seen or modified, if it tried to establish network connections, etc.- so our IT, servers and security teams have all the information they need to improve the systems hardening.

Inconvénients

Falcon provides only the antivirus / antimalware capabilites, so all the other functions we had with the previous technology are not available, like firewall, IPS, DLP, mail filtering, web filtering, etc. So, in the end we kept the McAfee agent to retain some of them, which means we are spending a little more on technology, but it gets balanced because less work is needed for malware diagnose.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Falcon is a very great threat detector, it detect problems with out scanning the computer, which make it very light for computer ressources. The console is nice, and it's quite easy to see problem

Inconvénients

if I have to say something : It's easy problem, but it could be nice to have resolution tips also.
