Overall Satisfaction with CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection across our whole organization as our primary endpoint AV product. It gives us the unprecedented ability to see all actions taken by a user or malicious actor in order to determine the root cause of an incident. With the ability to quickly isolate a machine from the network we can keep minor issues from becoming larger ones.
  • Phenomenal EDR capability
  • Lightweight and easy to deploy sensor
  • Impressive machine learning and IOA based detections
  • Lots of add-on features add up the cost
  • Requires some training to fully utilize
  • Requires some false positive tuning initially
  • I sleep much better a night with this product running.
  • Expensive but you get what you pay for.
  • Customer service has been excellent.
CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection goes way beyond signature-based detections. I've seen no other product that can do what this one does.
Yes - McAfee endpoint protection was replaced because it was not doing an effective job of preventing infections. CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection has blown it away in terms of preventing downtime and incidents.
It was part of the initial testing for a new AV product that my company was conducting when they hired me.
Early on in our deployment, we had a ransomware outbreak introduced by a third-party vendor. Even with the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection sensor not deployed to old ICS machines and running (in a technically unsupported configuration) alongside another product, it was able to provide a herd immunity of sorts and drastically limit the ransomware's movement. The EDR capabilities of the sensor were an enormous help in tracking down the source of the infection while we were able to use the network containment feature to isolate infected machines as soon as they were seen. It was very impressive and helped us get back to normal in a week with minimal loss of productivity.
