Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon

We used CrowdStrike Falcon as our main XDR platform within our organisation.
We can investigate/remediate and run scripts when we suspect any anomalies on the network. Using event search we are able to analyse events and devices on the network. We have an easy way of finding EOL devices through the asset dashboard. I can analyse user accounts and ensure that there are no strange accounts with passwords over the set period.
  • Event Search
  • Searching for unmanaged assets
  • Tagging for easier searching
  • Providing details on devices such as recently connected users and previously connected networks.
  • UI is cumbersome at times
  • Dashboard occasionally takes a while to load
  • Support is somewhat delayed
  • Software is very small so doesn't take up as much computer resources as the previous AV we had.
  • We have had over 1000 high detections in under a year and we have never had to remediate any due to CrowdStrike Falcon doing it for us.
  • Easier to block USB's which are known malicious and whose owners are repeat offenders.
Microsoft Defender we have fully replaced with CrowdStrike Falcon as we trust it more. We previously used a tool to block all USB'S in certain locations we have since also got rid of this. We used a basic asset management tool to tell us about windows version and have got rid of this due to having CrowdStrike Falcon.
Lower costs over all.
We are all able to sleep at night due not having to worry about our signature databases being updated on endpoints. The fact that CrowdStrike Falcon blocks files using anomalous/strange activity makes us less concerned that we are going to come into work in the morning and have a breach.
  • Identify endpoints that need to be updated
  • Run scripts using RTR tool
  • Reset passwords occasionally
CrowdStrike Falcon is the market leader so is head and shoulders above these products. These products work of old school methodologies of detecting malware which are no longer fit for purpose.

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 Falcon is great for teams who have a small security team with no 24x7 coverage. Using their Complete add-in you are covered by the 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. This is all with a 4 minute window to remediate issues should one occur.
