Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon
CrowdStrike Falcon provides end-user security, as well as data security, and sandboxing further allowing security researchers and analysts to dig into the malware some. It is an over security solution, or stack, that allows companies to use one platform rather than multiple. What I like most though is the compliance assessment. CrowdStrike Falcon recently added HIPAA to the list of compliance frameworks that it will test your environment against so that you can see how your companies security compares to different compliance standards. For example, I need to be hipaa compliant, so I can see how my company‘s security compares to hipaa compliance requirement and if it is not hipaa compliant, it will show me what to fix and how to fix it.
Pros
- Compliance Audit
- End user security
- Data protection
Cons
- The user interface can be challenging to navigate from time to time until you get the hang of it.
- CrowdStrike Falcon helped me with some hipaa compliance issues. I was at about 90-92 percent hipaa complaint now I am setting at 98-99 percent.
- With their machine learning, I installed in a research server that I have, and have been writing malware to test its detection and help the machine learning.
It’s provides all of what the other solutions offered individually and at a better price.

I was focused on a specific need rather than a suite of software, had looked for a complete solution, I would have decided on CrowdStrike Falcon sooner.
CrowdStrike Falcon Implementation

Yes, we wanted the full benefit of the software.
Yes, I was having an issue with the new HIPAA compliance scanner. I called support and they walked me through it. I had the premium support package but we were unable to validate it, so the support rep took me at my word that we had it and continued to help me, even though he wasn’t obligated to.
