Falcon
About Falcon
Falcon is a cloud-based endpoint protection platform designed to help enterprises detect, manage, and remediate threats in real-time to prevent data loss. Features include event recording, alerts, prioritization, credential management, and access control.
Using the antivirus, Falcon Prevent, IT administrators can identify unknown malware or ransomware and block its spread via unpatched vulnerabilities. Network engineers can use the threat intelligence module, Falcon X to automatically investigate incidents, develop countermeasures using YARA and SNORT rules, and monitor social media, paste sites, DDoS attacks, and botnets for malicious activities. The firewall management module enables users to create, manage, enforce, and modify firewall policies.
Using the dashboard, supervisors can view all unmanaged applications running across the environment, check for encrypted hosts and track asset inventory and application usage. Security teams can monitor the vulnerability status of devices deployed on-premise or in the cloud. It also offers integration with various third-party platforms such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Illusive Networks, Okta, and more.

What's worst than Symantec? Cloudstrike Falcon.
What's worst than Symantec? Cloudstrike Falcon.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Crowdstrike Falcon review
Reviewed on 13/01/2024
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Reasons for Choosing Falcon
There were more false positives, system performance was another issue.Switched From
