How Alternatives Are Selected

1. CrowdStrike Falcon

By CrowdStrike

4.7

(3060 Ratings)

My overall experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection has been very positive. The platform is light on endpoints and does not affect device performance, which has facilitated its mass deployment without end users noticing interruptions. A concrete example: during a deployment to remote employee laptops, Falcon detected a script-based malware attempt that had not been identified by our previous solution. The alert quickly reached the central dashboard, and the security team was able to isolate the affected computer, analyze the behavior, and eliminate the threat in less than an hour. On a day-to-day basis, the Falcon console provides complete endpoint visibility and facilitates incident investigation, which has significantly reduced response time and manual workload for our security team. Overall, it has been a reliable and efficient tool to protect our endpoints and minimize

4. Trellix Endpoint Security Suite

By Trellix

4.6

(1878 Ratings)

We deployed Trellix Endpoint Security Suite primarily as an endpoint detection and telemetry agent supporting our managed defense SOC. In this role, Trellix functioned as a reliable source of endpoint data rather than a standalone analyst console. The solution performed best in stability and threat signal quality across our stack. The main challenges that arrived were the resource intensive nature of the Trellix agent.

5. Symantec Endpoint Security Complete

By Broadcom

4.4

(1625 Ratings)

Overall, our experience with SESC has been positive. The platform provides strong endpoint protection, centralized policy management, and useful detection and response capabilities. Areas that could be improved include their firewall module. We experienced a log ingestion/reporting inconsistency caused by an agent-side defect. In certain noisy traffic events, the agent logged the firewall rule and location at the time of upload instead of preserving the correct policy and location at the time of detectio.n

TrendMicro Vision One Endpoint Security is a good product solution for us. It has been very useful as it can still support legacy devices.

The console is very straightforward and easy to understand which would be very helpful in managing the solution. They also provide Fire Alert (Incident Response report) for free which is also helpful for our customer to manage their security risk.

8. Harmony Endpoint

By Check Point Software Technologies

4.6

(942 Ratings)

My overall experience with Harmony Endpoint has been good so far. The product is stable and gives strong protection against malware and ransomware without affecting system performance much. We found the threat detection accurate and alerts are clear enough to take action quickly. Intitial setup took some time and the console can feel a bit complex for new users, but once configured properly it works reliably. Support response is decent, though sometimes it takes follow-ups. Overall, it does what it promises and gives good visibility into endpoint security.
