We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool.""As an EDR tool, we can integrate log management and event management. The solution deals with threats automatically, that's the advantage.""One of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon is when there are upgrades there are no additional fees.""The most valuable features are the complete IPS and IDS.""The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."

"Technical support could be better than what is currently offered.""It is cloud-based, and this does make some weary of the data being held on the cloud. Privacy requirements must be taken into account.""CrowdStrike Falcon needs to improve their host management system.""We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler.""Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about""It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better.""It can be expensive depending on the features you select.""The price is too high."
