Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon
We use CrowdStrike Falcon to detect potential malicious activity on both end user computers and servers.
- Detects suspicious activity
- Shows exact location and processes involved in suspicious activity
- Isolate computers with suspicious activity
- Setting up on MacOS was more complicated than expected (as kernel extensions were being phased out)
- Remediation is not always as automated as some other systems (e.g. Malware Bytes)
- EDR which was required by Cyberinsurance
- Replacement for more traditional AV
- Ability to alert IT of suspicious activity
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.
We are only using Falcon and later added Insight. It was convenient to be able to add EDR (as an insurance requirement) by simply enabling it in the CrowdStrike interface.
- Isolate computers with issues
- Remotely diagnose issues
At the time we evaluated the products, CrowdStrike was clearly leading in this space. It's possible since that time so other products have added additional features and may be equivalent.
