Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection
CrowdStrike Falcon Pro is installed on all enterprise machines, virtual and physical. We even have it installed on our private cloud servers used for web hosting. CrowdStrike is part of our layered defense strategy to mitigate breaches, ransomware and other types of malware. The ability to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux is a huge advantage that we couldn't find in every solution.
- Ransomware protection. We ran a ransomware simulation with obfuscated executables to hide malware signatures and CrowdStrike found and stopped 15 out of 15.
- Malware/adware detection. Packaged adware in official installers are instantly blocked without interfering with the install of the primary application.
- The ability to do a system-level scan like a traditional AV is missing and isn't a feature CrowdStrike is planning on implementing. Old school IT guys are going to be curious about this.
- Host management and deletion are clunky and take 45 days for a machine to fall off your subscription license.
- While costing twice as much as our previous solution, our detection capability has at least tripled, and remediation is automated. This has saved us all time while detecting threats better.
- Endpoint detections have gone up but have caused our firewall detections to go down overall. CrowdStrike is catching an attack earlier in the kill chain overall.
1. It had the best ransomware protection built into the base version of the software. This was our primary focus, with some companies in town being hit by ransomware every other week.
2. Better overall detection and response capability.
3. Central management is 100% cloud-based, and it makes it easy to get into a detection from anywhere and get it resolved.
