CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced it has been named the Customers’ Choice in the 2026 Gartner Peer Insights™ ‘Voice of the Customer’ for User Authentication report.¹ CrowdStrike has the most 5-star reviews, the most verified reviews, and the highest product capability rating of 4.7 (tied), of any vendor in the report, based on 179 overall responses as of January 2026 and a 96% Willingness to Recommend score. CrowdStrike is the only platform that secures every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – across the full hybrid identity lifecycle and every environment.
