Best forMid-market and enterprise teams replacing legacy antivirus with one cloud-native endpoint, EDR and identity platform.; Security organisations consolidating endpoint, identity, cloud and SIEM tooling onto a single lightweight agent and console.; Companies without a 24/7 SOC that want Falcon Complete's expert-led managed detection and response.; Teams that must secure AI agents, models and cloud workloads alongside traditional endpoints.Multinational employers running payroll in many countries who want one provider and one governance model; Companies consolidating multiple in-country payroll providers into a single global model; HR and finance teams that need payroll wired into HRIS/HCM systems such as Workday, UKG, HiBob, Sage People or Cornerstone; Organisations with internationally mobile staff needing assignment payroll, expat tax and mobility coordination
Not forOrganisations with no security owner — per-device pricing and a broad platform need someone to run them.; Buyers seeking a free, fully self-serve tool; advanced modules and MDR require a sales conversation.; Teams mid-contract with a competing EDR suite and no budget or appetite to migrate.Single-country employers with simple domestic payroll needs; Buyers who want self-serve payroll software with no managed-service layer; Teams that require published, self-checkout pricing before evaluation; Very small headcounts where a global managed payroll model is disproportionate
