Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Our users frequently installed cracked software and torrents, after CrowdStrike Falcon this has been completely eliminated since most of these are backdoored and malicious so CrowdStrike Falcon would not let them install or even download these. We also made use of exclusion module to exclude some machines from detections, like our Programming labs where students learn to code and may need to download code or program which may not always pass CrowdStrike. Most of these exclusions are hash based.
We have been able to successfully reduce our attack surface area, when installed in first 90 days we had several thousands detections now it has been reduced to 900-1000

With USB Device Controll you can get rid of most DLP tools (at least for USB protection).
Also if you have some host firewall management system, it can be replaced with CS firewall management
Remote connection (not interactive or RDP like) can be also be replaced, with RTR
Unsure of the question, but with CS solutions we've increased security level, performance on all our devices and ease of use and management.

We did not remove any tools, but as we built out our security stack - we just expanded the functionality of CrowdStrike and it was already deployed everywhere.
One solution, one environment, one source of reports and logs. Easier and quicker to find all the details.

We've leveraged CrowdStrike Falcon for innovative use cases, such as integrating its threat intelligence into our SIEM solution. This synergy has elevated our overall threat detection capabilities and created a more robust security ecosystem. The platform's ability to stay ahead of emerging threats, coupled with real-time visibility and mitigation, instills confidence in our organization's cybersecurity posture.
CrowdStrike Falcon's multifaceted capabilities have allowed us to consolidate various security tools into a unified platform. This consolidation has streamlined our security operations, reducing complexity and improving overall efficiency.

Integration with the SIEM has not been necessary. From the console it has been possible, in our case, to monitor the system and detect threats in real-time, which has allowed us to act quickly on 100% of the threats detected. However, integration with the SIEM is possible and is done in a simple way.
It has simplified the management of threats on servers, ensuring that actions are carried out quickly without requiring a large number of personnel to do so.

For Security Solution on the clienst and servers we only use CrowdStrike Falcon. We don't need management server in our envirement. That is very convinient. We also use CrowdStrike Falcon multi factor solotion, On the this point we don't need another solution. The vulnerability managementis also very good and we don't need there another tool.
The costs can be taken down. One cosole to manage everything.

CrowdStrike Falcon replaced our traditional anti-virus software and provides more capabilities.
CrowdStrike was more or a replacement for traditional anti-virus so did not really consolidate our tools since it was not replacing multiple tools.

Ease of management and better implementation of Falcon software. In addition, CrowdStrike Falcon is well integrated with other tools like SentinelOne Attivo, Splunk, Zscaler, etc which helps in better detection across multiple log sources.

Traditional Antivirus.
With Falcon, we've reduced our reliance on multiple disparate security solutions. Its comprehensive feature set has eliminated the need for some of our legacy tools, leading to cost savings. By reducing the number of tools, we've simplified our workflows. Administrators no longer have to juggle between multiple platforms, leading to increased productivity.

CrowdStrike Falcon allows the use of SOARS to help automate some specific tasks when an incident has been determined to have happened. We can automate who is notified and how they are notified. We can automate tasks such as gathering forensic data to help speed up investigations. We can run specific programs on systems when detections happen.
By automating some tasks with CrowdStrike it has allowed us to speed up investigations into incidents that happen. The CrowdStrike Falcon solution also offers API access to other security tools that we use so we can pull data from multiple systems to help make decisions.

We have a full suite of Falcon. We have stopped usage of third party tools used for penetration testing exercises, red teaming, etc.
overall TCO is reduced and there is a simplicity in managing overall security operations

We did not have most of the tools nor the skills to use the tools in CrowdStrike Falcon before signing up with Complete. Prior to complete we were using endpoint security. Now we have access to overwatch, Identity protection and spotlight...really the complete team sort through the info and let us know if there are concerns.
I do not think for us it was a matter of consolidating, it was more the idea of having people who are knowlegable looking at the logs and information collected by the software. From the info they are able to determine where our staff should be spending their time so we can concentrate on the important information and can ignore the "noise"

By using the Identity protection module, i don't need to have a dedicated MFA application as CrowdStrike can provide an MFA option.
also i removed Cynet protection from the organization. CrowdStrike provide a better incident response platform, with a wider malware protection suite and zero trust architecture readiness.
more security to the enterprise, with better and easier workstations and servers deployment. very good CSPM feature which provides me better sight to the organization cloud environment and applications. also Identity protection enhanced our access to the company resources

We have not purchased/implemented it yet but the EDR module will allow us to remove our other EDR product, permitting us to only run CrowdStrike on the endpoints . We will look at other modules to possibly prevent the purchase of other vendor solutions in the future as we try to improve our security posture.
We're not completely there yet but our biggest goals are to reduce the number of management consoles that have to be used to reduce confusion and reduce our expenses for obvious reasons. By eliminating redundancy and simplifying our security tools we hope to gain back some hours in our day and reduce expense.

We were able to replace our legacy type anti-virus with Falcon that provided additional capabilities. Additionally, we were able to remove vulnerability scanning agents that were replaced with Falcon Spotlight.
Overall, although there was limited cost savings, there were more human resourcing available to focus on other core security tasks.

We generally use a multitude of tools and do not solely rely on a single product like CrowdStrike, we use this product injunction with various other security tools to minimize the threat attack surface overall.

Our tech stack is rather layered to say the least, it is better than to rely on a singular product.

It removes the dependency on SIEM, a SIEM tool of whatever company is tooo slow, hard to manage, does not capture process command line details, etc. On the other hand, CrowdStrike Falcon provides response capability as well as process level logging and does not need a physical device like the one used by SIEM works on agents which are very fast all in all EDR > SIEM
A very good neat tidy setup without physical devices which need to be managed easy for installation as well
