Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon

We use it for endpoint protection from malware and viruses on all PC's and laptops within the organization for both on premises and work from home users. The product is small footprint on the clients and is not noticed by the end users. It looks for not only known malware but also for patterns/IOCs that may indicate a zero day attack.

Pros

  • Runs on clients without causing application issues
  • matches files patterns/behaviors to look for unknown attacks
  • contains potentially infected hosts

Cons

  • The user interface is terrible
  • permit users to see licensed products in the console
  • less false positives. files such as Malwarebytes scanning modules should be known as safe
  • make it easier to create scanning exclusions that actually work
  • provides confidence endpoints are protected
  • improves response/remediation through integration with other products
  • helps keep expenses in check
  • Use host console to help validate OS versions in use against other sources
  • Help determine a live host count to assist in/validate inventory
  • verify last logged in user for a particular host
We still utilize Malwarebytes, CrowdStrike has proven to catch more malware than Symantec (although with more false positives). CrowdStrike has not to date caused any issues with applications running on our endpoints and is not even noticed by our end users. Deployment seems to be easier and more efficient than other vendors.

Do you think CrowdStrike Falcon delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with CrowdStrike Falcon's feature set?

Yes

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

I believe CrowdStrike could be a successful implementation in any organization, however, for any company that wants someone be on top of detections, exclusions, actions, etc. they would need a full time employee to manage the product. The price point is in line with other products and has integrations with more 3rd party SIEM, scanning and network monitoring solutions than any other vendor.
