CrowdStrike Falcon Scalability
We haven't had any issues with scalability. Being a cloud solution, it can scale well.

Jeremy S.
Director of IT at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
It was originally deployed to 200 users and we haven't really grown since we started, so I can't speak to scalability. This represents 100% adoption in our organization, and there are no current plans to grow. As we hire more people, our usage will increase.
There are two people who work with it on a daily basis. There is the director of IT and a network administrator.

The scalability has been fast and easy. We did so many endpoints very quickly without any issues.
It is fully deployed across our organization. We can't really expand anymore unless we are adding/buying clinics.

Erik Hart
Chief Information Security Officer at a real estate/law firm with 10,001+ employees
We have had no problems with scalability. CrowdStrike can scale as much as we need them to, they are the ones taking care of all the cloud, hosting, and processing on their end. So, we have never had an issue where we have seen a degradation in alerting timing, etc.
There are probably 10 to 15 people who access CrowdStrike or use its data regularly. It is funny because our IT people will use it to try to look for things that aren't necessarily security sorts of things, for example, "Hey, this isn't working," or, "That isn't loading," because of the level of visibility CrowdStrike has in some of the processing item. We have four or five people on the SOC. There are probably 20 or 30 accounts in there, but for the ones which are used regularly, it is probably about half that amount, like seven to 10.

CrowdStrike Falcon is scalable.
View full review »The solution is very scalable. Our proof of concept was a few devices and now at full scale we have 50,000 devices. It's a cloud console, so if you do the implementation right and the sensor is put on in an automated process, it doesn't matter how many computers you have. It just runs. They have sensors for every kind of device: Macs, Windows, Linux, and I think even Android.
View full review »We have a single instance across multiple locations. People in the company work from different locations, and we have agents installed to workstations, et cetera. We have around 8,000 workstations and around 5,000 servers. Then, we have about 20 people working on it directly regularly.
The solution is absolutely scalable, and companies can scale it as needed. I'd rate the solution 9 out of 10 in terms of scalability.

reviewer1540044
Chief Security Officer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees
If you have a way to deploy agents in a rapid manner, I think the scalability is there. As we buy and acquire companies, we have to roll out agents to those places. Right now, it's still very manually intensive and it slows down the process a lot. So, I think the scalability can be improved with a rapid deployment feature.
Our strategy right now is just to install CrowdStrike for PCs and laptops. Once we get comfortable with the technology, we can start testing the servers. It's just that we haven't finished the deployment to PCs and workstations yet.
We have approximately 260 endpoints and we're probably about 20% complete in terms of deployment.

It seems to be limitless from a scalability standpoint. Definitely, there would be no impact on our end, and we haven't noticed or run into any issues as we scaled from our initial 10 systems to 600. There was no difference in speed or reporting, et cetera.
So, scalability does not seem to be an issue.

Jim McCartney

The solution is very scalable and easy to deploy as well as sync up agents with it.
The end users are the security team, which consists of about four of us. Then, we have a couple of leads from other technical teams. So, there are probably eight users who have access to CrowdStrike. Primarily, there are just three of us who are in there constantly.

I would rate Crowdstrike Falcon a nine out of 10 for scalability. It offers seamless scalability, allowing easy expansion of the sensor deployment to accommodate growing needs. However, it's worth noting that the primary limitation one may encounter is the cost associated with deploying additional sensors.

NormanCyman
IT Security Analyst at U.S. Venture, Inc.
From what we have seen, it is very scalable. 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.
We have all our desktop engineering group and server team as admins in the system, but they only use it for specific troubleshooting in their job roles. So, if the server team needs to do something, then they can just log in and do it as well as the desktop engineering group. They can just go in and do stuff, if it is something related to computers or servers. As far as for the overall management of the system, that is left to the security team.
It is currently being used to the extent that we need it. After CrowdStrike had their user conference last Fall, they introduced a lot of new tools, specifically one around forensic that we would like to get our hands on. However, there are no real plans for doing any major increases of its toolset. I do know that there is a project that will be going on for using its mobile application on some Android tablets, but it is still very much in its infancy. So, we are not quite sure how that will roll out yet.

Michael Getz
Enterprise Cybersecurity Architect at Swagelok Company
We are protecting 5,500 endpoints with this solution. We do have plans to increase usage. Our environment is rather complex in that we have 6,000 core corporate associates and roughly 5,500 endpoints. Then, we have a distributor network globally comprised of about 220 wholly owned subsidiaries who are essentially their own companies, but they are only licensed to resell our products. They kind of have a mix of endpoint protection because it is largely up to them, within their entity, as what they choose to use. We are looking to further wrap our arms around them from a security perspective. We have looked at acquiring CrowdStrike's complete platform, which would be fully managed to deploy to that distributor network, which is about the same size as our corporate environment. So, it would be roughly another 6,000 users. It is a very large, globally-reaching endeavor, and working through the politics and legal aspects of how we will make that come to fruition may take some time. However, that is the plan.

Scalability is expensive but it works.

Maintenance takes the equivalent of one full-time position but it's a shared responsibility among the IT team.

We have implemented it for approximately 200 users as a POC. We are ready to have a contract with CrowdStrike and we will be implementing it for 700 users in the end, so we will scale it from the POC when we begin to officially use it.
