CrowdStrike Falcon Reviews

I am using CrowdStrike Falcon for system security.

The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate.

The integration is very good. We have had no problem integrating the on-premise version with the cloud. We have an environment on-premise and an environment in the cloud. The integration with CrowdStrike is really very easy.

CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good.

I have used CrowdStrike Falcon within the last 12 months.

CrowdStrike Falcon is very stable.

The scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon is very good.

We have approximately 700 users are using this solution in my organization. We plan to increase the usage of this solution. We are evaluating various aspects of the environment to see how it can extend our protection.

I have not contacted support. However, I do not have any bad reports about their performance.

I have not done the implementation myself. However, our technicians that did it had no problem, the process is straightforward.

My technicians did the implementation of CrowdStrike Falcon.

CrowdStrike Falcon is a very sophisticated solution. We are evaluating it further and more favorable results will come only with deeper study and evaluation.

I have never had any kind of problem with the solution.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon a nine out of ten.

CrowdStrike is an anti-virus solution, and we use it to protect our users from malware.

This solution has made the lives of the IT staff much easier, compared to the previous one. This is the lightest client available that is compatible with different versions of the OS.

The most valuable feature is that our systems are monitored and we are alerted to any unusual behavior.

I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced.

So far, the solution has been stable. It did not clash with any other product that we have. Also, it is very light, and the users do not have the impression that anything is slowing down their system.

This is simply a client that you have to roll out, so it is fully scalable.

All of the people in our company use this solution.

Technical support for this solution is good.

We did use another solution previously, but technologies keep changing. We found that CrowdStrike meets our requirements.

Our implementation was straightforward, and it was completed within one week.

The first step was to uninstall the old anti-virus solution, and then the CrowdStrike protection was enabled. There was a brief period where both of the solutions were running at the same time.

The implementation was handled by the consultants from CrowdStrike. Everything was done by their staff, from their end and according to their recommendation. The consultants and their service were excellent.

This solution has a very competitive price.

We evaluated solutions by TrendMicro, Kaspersky, Carbon Black, and SentinelOne.

My advice for anybody implementing this solution is to understand the requirements. Look at their vision, and understand how the technology is changing in the market in order to meet the threat of cyber attack. They need to follow the latest standards.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

It is used for stopping data breaches. 

It is totally on the cloud. It cannot be deployed on-prem. They don't have any on-prem options.

It is very useful for endpoint protection and stopping data breaches. That's its real strength.

I like the Overwatch feature the most. 

Its performance is brilliant. It is a good, lightweight agent. I've seen it do really good things on the endpoints, and there is no problem with its performance.

On the firewall management side, there should be more granularity. There should also be more granularity for device control. Everything else is brilliant.

I have been using this solution for four years.

It is stable.

It is the most scalable solution among all solutions that I've seen so far. Because it's cloud-based, it's really quick to roll out to 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 endpoints. You can scale it depending on how many endpoints you've got. It is a good solution.

We have about 10 customers who use this solution.

My experience has been good so far.

Its installation is quick and easy. I wouldn't change anything there. The duration depends on the number of endpoints to which you want to push it, but it is fast. I've seen them roll thousands in a matter of hours.

The number of people required for its deployment and maintenance depends on the package you take, but generally, it has a much lower requirement than any other endpoint protection solution.

My advice is to go with a partner that has got experience. I would also advise seriously considering the Overwatch feature. 

I would rate it a nine out of 10.

We use Falcon to check the login attempts of the users. We can see who has logged in and when. We can see which workstation is assigned to each user. CrowdStrike helps us enforce policies, such as USB policies and users recycling passwords. 

CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment. 

I like CrowdStrike's policies. The integration is easy to do. I can remember once when Falcon prevented a security breach occurred because someone clicked on a phishing link, and their credential was compromised. We used threat tracking to isolate the device from networks. 

I have used Falcon for two years.

I rate Falcon nine out of 10 for stability. 

I rate Falcon eight out of 10 for scalability. 

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon nine out of 10. 

We use CrowdStrike Falcon on all our devices, server, and workstations for security.

Cyberattack detection is very good. We use it for detecting different vulnerabilities, such as ransomware, virus, and malware. It is a good product today when compared to Symantec that we used previously.

The management of the solution could improve.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for approximately two years.

CrowdStrike Falcon is a new product and it is too soon to give a full report on the stability. We receive updates all time, and it has been more frequent than other solutions, such as Symantec. However, it has been somewhat stable and in a few months, I expect it to be even better.

The solution is in the cloud and this allows for the scalability to be very good.

We use this solution worldwide and we have approximately 80,000 people using it.

The technical support is good, they are available for our needs.

We previously used Symantec and we found the detection better with CrowdStrike Falcon.

The installation of the solution is complex, it is not easy.

There is an annual license required to use this solution. 

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is as an endpoint protection service. 

We get a notification when there are some malicious activities on our PC whenever we have a detection. The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end user's PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious.

When something is detected you can log into the GUI and you can get very specific details about what happened. It's very helpful for investigating incidents and this sort of thing.

The GUI can use improvement, it's cloud-based so sometimes the interface can be a bit slow. The interface could use a little bit more speed. 

When I change the policies for some users, I would like to have an option to apply that policy immediately. Right now, I have to wait for the users to connect to the cloud to take the new policy. I would like for them to develop the ability to have an option to apply the post the policy immediately.

It's very stable, we haven't had any issues so far.

We haven't had any issues when it comes to scalability. We have thirty to forty users.

We haven't had to use their technical support. 

The initial setup was very straightforward. You just download the agent and install it; that's it. The deployment took two to three hours. We have two admins. One of us logs in and sees what happened.

I would advise someone considering this solution to just read the documentation. You should start with the documentation, it's very clear and very simple. Anything you need is in the documentation.

I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

The primary use case is threat protection.

It improves a lot of our security operations for threat management. It provides a lot for our day-to-day operations too.

The most valuable feature is its threat analysis.

I would like CrowdStrike to provide some correlation in the threat analysis, so we can visualize things better.

It is quite stable. However, whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing.

We have not put that much stress on it, about 20 percent.

Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it.

Currently, we have about 4800 resources in the cloud.

Their technical support is good and helpful.

The AWS integration is good, and its configuration is straightforward.

We have seen ROI.

Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace.

I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment.

I would recommend CrowdStrike as a first option product, but to look at others as well.

The new features that they have released were not bad.

AWS is better than the on-premise version because it can support cloud resources.

Primary use is for endpoint investigations.

It allows us to determine root cause, do the analysis, a lot quicker.

Visibility into the endpoint rate. Understanding what processes are running on the system, what registry keys have been enabled. Pretty much understanding the whole frantic side of the endpoint.

It would be nice if we could extrapolate indicators of compromise and write them within sandboxes.

It's fairly stable. We haven't been having too many issues with that.

It scales quite well because it's cloud-based and subscription-based. It can scale pretty quickly.

I would say technical support is fairly good. They understand the technology quite well so they are able to support us a lot better.

The most important criteria when selecting a vendor come down to the capability of the technology, the cost, the support, how it fits into our overall architecture strategy, and the stability of the company. For instance, if it's a small company and they go under, you might as well have not invested in it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10 because it has all the features that we need. It's within our budget, and it fits into our overall architecture strategy. There are a few features that could be added, as mentioned.

I would recommend this technology.
