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 status updates without the need for extensive searching. In contrast, while Symantec Endpoint Management is noted for its efficiency, some users find it less user-friendly in comparison.
- Users say that CrowdStrike's cloud-based setup simplifies management and allows for real-time protection against various cyber threats, making it a preferred choice for enterprises. Meanwhile, Symantec offers flexibility with its on-premises, cloud, or hybrid options, which some users appreciate for tailored solutions.
- Reviewers mention that CrowdStrike provides quick incident response and detailed insights into potential risks, enhancing overall security posture. Symantec, while effective in malware protection, has received feedback indicating it may not respond as swiftly to incidents.
- According to verified reviews, CrowdStrike's ease of setup is frequently highlighted, with users finding deployment straightforward across large organizations. In contrast, some Symantec users have reported challenges during the initial configuration process.
- G2 reviewers highlight that CrowdStrike's platform operates seamlessly in the background without slowing down systems, which is a significant advantage for users concerned about performance. Symantec, while efficient, has not received the same level of praise for maintaining system speed during operation.
- Users express satisfaction with the quality of support from both platforms, but CrowdStrike edges out slightly with a more positive reception regarding its ongoing partnership and product direction, indicating a stronger alignment with user needs over time compared to Symantec.
