Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro Reviews

My main use case for Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro is development for my daily activities at work.

I use Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro mainly for development. My IT department really prefers having Intel vPro because that allows them to manage the devices, and CrowdStrike Falcon makes sure that anybody using these devices does not get any malware on the device. In terms of device security and device management, these are good features to have. Having a device with Intel vPro and CrowdStrike Falcon gives me the sense of satisfaction that I can use this device safely, and I can use it on networks that are maybe a little unknown to me when I am working remotely or if I am in a coffee shop or something. I know for a fact that my device has the hardware and software capabilities to make sure that it is safe.

I could not tell how Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro has impacted my organization positively, as that is a question for someone that manages our IT.

To be very honest, I do not have an interaction with Intel vPro in my day-to-day activities, but the best feature of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro would be that I do not have to interact with it. Some of the good software and hardware solutions are the ones that work in the background and work so well that I do not have to think about them. My experience with Macs has been pretty similar, so compared to other solutions I might have used before, it feels smoother.

I think the governance and security of Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro's AI capabilities are good. The need for chip-level recovery is really good, and it is something really important today because with a lot of these tools at the forefront of technology these days and a lot of malicious actors using AI, it is becoming more difficult to ensure device security.

I view this critical feature enabled by my PC as great, and I think there is a need for more features this. That is one of the reasons that vPro is maybe better than a consumer-facing CPU from Intel because it allows IT teams and professionals to be more confident in their device and the device's hardware capabilities for security.

Security agent performance is really important to me when I buy security software and PCs because I do not want this security agent to take up a lot of performance and slow down my system. If there is any security system or software that takes more than a couple of percentage of my system's performance, I am going to be a little unhappy with that. As long as vPro is working in the background and it is not consuming too many resources, I find it to be a great feature. But if it is taking 10 or 12 percent, then that is when I am going to start noticing a performance deficit, and I am going to be a little annoyed.

I think my data protection journey for AI is great, and I am happy to have this feature because it works in the background and it works locally, particularly. I am not concerned with my data going to the cloud.

I did not know about factoring in device health in my zero-trust security architecture, but I am really happy to hear that, and that is great because endpoint security is really important, and device health is also critical in the zero-trust security architecture. We are in a crunch these days in terms of security and malicious actors, so any hardware security measures and anything that can be managed locally within the device by solutions from Intel or their partners like CrowdStrike is amazing. As long as it can be managed remotely by relevant IT departments as well, it is even better.

I am happy with how Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro performs. I would rate Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro a nine out of 10 because I do not have to interact with it. It works in the background, and it works well enough that I do not have to worry about it. I am going to deduct one mark because this is something that I read on my laptop, and I do not see a lot of marketing or a lot of outreach for what are the advantages and how I can maybe integrate it better in my workflows. Because there are opportunities in our workflows where we are thinking of security and device security the same way that we are adopting passkeys and password managers to ensure security. If there is any opportunity with Dell Trusted Device powered by CrowdStrike Falcon and Intel vPro that I can do as a developer or introduce it within my team, I would be very much interested in that.
