AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform excels in user experience, with many praising its intuitive dashboard that provides immediate visibility into security status without the need for extensive searching. In contrast, while Symantec End-user Endpoint Security is noted for its easy-to-understand GUI, it doesn't quite match the streamlined experience offered by CrowdStrike.
- Users say that CrowdStrike's cloud-based setup simplifies management and deployment across enterprise environments, making it a favorite for organizations looking for real-time protection against cyber threats. On the other hand, Symantec is recognized for its strong customer support and ease of integration with other devices, but some users find its deployment process less straightforward.
- Reviewers mention that CrowdStrike provides quick responses to incidents and detailed insights into potential risks, which enhances its overall effectiveness in threat management. Meanwhile, Symantec users appreciate its all-round protection from known and advanced threats, but some feel it lacks the same level of proactive incident response capabilities.
- According to verified reviews, CrowdStrike Falcon is praised for its minimal impact on system performance, allowing it to run seamlessly in the background. In contrast, while Symantec is described as easy to deploy and manage, some users express concerns about its performance during high-demand situations.
- G2 reviewers highlight that CrowdStrike's ease of setup is a significant advantage, with many noting that the platform is straightforward to implement across various endpoints. Symantec, while also recognized for its management console, has received feedback indicating that its setup can be more complex and time-consuming.
- Users report that both platforms offer strong compliance features, but CrowdStrike slightly edges out with a higher satisfaction score in this area. Symantec's compliance capabilities are appreciated, yet some users feel that CrowdStrike's approach is more robust and user-friendly, particularly in terms of policy creation and visibility.
