Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon

Deployed CS Falcon in a higher education research environment. We needed to leverage a tool that can build a models and be on the advancement of technology due to the nature of higher education and BYOD. We installed the CS Falcon on all machines and worked with the CS team to build a Gov Cloud for research equipment that required a different set of cloud protocols.

Pros

  • Monitoring
  • Notification
  • Device Management

Cons

  • Have an executive dashboard
  • better reporting cadence
  • ability to tag devices with end user names
  • Positive Impact on Travel Safety
  • Positive Impact on ROI
  • Ease of use
  • Ease of deployability
We removed Symantec and other Cybersecurity toolsets to manage our asset base
Efficiency in our tech stack and lowered our training cost. We now have 1 app to support and remediate.
Allows us to pick the correct platforms and grow into different areas as we need more attention to specific toolsets. Having all of the data under a single application keeps the application stack lean and we don't have to use multiple tools and installs to achieve the same process.
  • the use of unique CIDs
  • Building out segmented folders
  • testing new agents
  • testing new policies
Is better and the ease of use and cost was spot on.

Did CrowdStrike Falcon live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of CrowdStrike Falcon go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy CrowdStrike Falcon again?

Yes

CS Falcon is suited for nearly all scenarios and deployment. The only challenge would be if devices contain protected data the need for the Gov Cloud installation would be necessary. This can split up your installation base but isn't anything that is very difficult to manage.
