See why customers choose Trend over CrowdStrike
Protection
A comprehensive suite with a broad range of security solutions, including endpoint, network, email, and cloud environments, all natively integrated and built from the ground up providing true XDR protection.
CrowdStrike's cloud-centric platform places significant emphasis on endpoint security rather than XDR, relying on third-party integration for full XDR protection.
Detection
Diverse integrated portfolio harnessing the power of Trend Vision One™ to provide multi-layered threat detection across an XDR platform. Threat research and vulnerability intelligence through Trend Micro™ Zero Day Initiative™ (ZDI) enables higher detection levels of unknown threats. Boasting the most substantial vulnerability research in the industry.
Offers a detailed level of configuration to enable users to tailor threat detection capabilities for EDR. However, the threat detection capabilities are focused towards EDR, depending on third-party integrations to provide XDR-level threat detection.
Remediation
Automated workbenches and AI provide clear remediation steps from threat detection and investigation analysis to containment and remediation and post-incident analysis, allowing users to update security policies and procedures easily.
CrowdStrike's security framework emphasizes script-based mitigation and remediation strategies, which can offer powerful, flexible responses to threats. However, this approach often requires a higher level of interaction to tailor for more complex environments.
Supportability
Extensive support across a wide range of operating systems, including Windows and Linux. Legacy environments are also backed, ranging from on-premises to hybrid, SaaS, and multi-cloud.
The supportability of CrowdStrike's offerings varies depending on the operating system. This impacts the uniformity and effectiveness of security measures across different environments within an organization. Limited supportability on older versions of Linux.
Deployment
Automated deployment with extensive network visibility provides multiple options, such as deployment scripts, workload security APIs, and virtual machine templates for an easy transition into any environment.
The Crowdstrike platform is appreciated for its ease of management, allowing administrators to monitor and detect threats in real-time. However, it's essential to consider the specifics of deployment methods,. While this method facilitates broad and flexible deployment across managed devices, potential challenges could arise from managing these deployments.
