Our rep is always ready to answer questions, and they take the guesswork out of security. Pros They do all of the work for us, makes us feel safe and secure at all times.

Deputy Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Crowdstrike Falcon review" January 13, 2024 4.0 Pros One of the best EDR solution in market. I really like the interface of the platform, it is so much user friendly. False positives are very less compared to the previous endpoint security solutions we have used. A light weight agent makes it a very stable product. Cons Not much to say about dislike part but I can say it is costly compared to it peers and I feel the reporting feature can be better.

Pros ease of deployment, less false positives and amazing GUI. Cons This product is bt expensive and they work on their customer service. Reason for choosing CrowdStrike The way they explain why they flagged an event and since they use Splunk in the backend gives us the upper hand on other tools Review Source BK Burim K. Systems Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent all-around Antivirus solution" May 22, 2023 5.0 As an admin, I am very happy with Crowdstrike Falcon and hope to continue using and managing it for many years to come. Pros We transitioned to Crowdstrike from a traditional endpoint protection solution and the difference was night and day. Crowdstrike Falcon is easy to use and manage, intuitive, incredibly powerful and intelligent, uses a bare minimum of system resources, has a very effective uninstall protection, and is very easy to deploy. Cons No cons. I highly recommend this product. Reason for choosing CrowdStrike A more advanced, cost effective and overall better solution. Switched from [Bitdefender GravityZone](https://www.capterra.com/p/58388/BitDefender-Enterprise-Manager/) Old antivirus solution was not that effective and was a nightmare to manage, not just in terms of hosts but of policies as well. Review Source André L. Systems Administrator Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Is that scanning? " November 17, 2020 4.0 Pretty easy to use, and it is very light installation on the client, specially if you do not have a very actual and robust configuration on your computers. I am still missing some features that we have on more traditional virus solution, but on the future, I believe that all the antiviruses solutions will follow this standard. Pros Very light solution to run on the computers, it is just a client that alerts the portal about the virus on computers and take some actions based on what were configured inside the portal. Easy to install/deploy, not so many options to choose, it is very straight to the point, also the options and configurations inside management portal are pretty easy to use. However, it updates automatically on the computers and servers. Cons Sometimes it is not update automatically, and I had some problems to remove the software, the key that is used to install/remove fails sometimes. I can mention that the computers take some time to appear inside the management portal, and you do not know if it is working properly or not. Another thing that you can miss, you cannot run a scan on your computer manually, to find viruses or other malicious files, it is supposed to be monitored all the time through the portal. Reason for choosing CrowdStrike We did not have a choice, it was a business decision and we had to implement on our environment.

Pros The standout feature of Falcon is its integration with complete falcon platform natively. This integration brings together vulnerability detection, prevention and response capabilities into a cohesive framework of managing the threats. Cons There may be few challenges that engineers could potentially encounter when using this solution, Falcon may require a certain level of expertise on managing the Vulnerabilities especially dealing with the payloads and also while dealing with the false positives that happens to consume time and resources while validating an alert.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Gerente de Innovación Tecnológica Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Diagnosing malware threats, attack vectors and root-cause was never easier" August 26, 2018 5.0 It performs awesome, just the way we expected. Pros It's really easy and fast to install the Falcon Sensor in the protected hosts. Its resource consumption is barely noticeable -this was the very specific problem we had with our traditional AV security which motivated us to look into new generation technologies. Whenever we have some malware detected, we have all the information we need about how it got into the host and what it attempted to do -whether processes were spawned, files or registry attempted to be seen or modified, if it tried to establish network connections, etc.- so our IT, servers and security teams have all the information they need to improve the systems hardening. Cons Falcon provides only the antivirus / antimalware capabilites, so all the other functions we had with the previous technology are not available, like firewall, IPS, DLP, mail filtering, web filtering, etc. So, in the end we kept the McAfee agent to retain some of them, which means we are spending a little more on technology, but it gets balanced because less work is needed for malware diagnose.

There are a couple features only available to Windows endpoints, but those features are slated to be on Mac OS X shortly. We are waiting on that. As a Splunk user, the integrated Splunk dashboards in the Falcon console are really nice and easy to use. Pros Good interface, lots of Splunk dashboards integrated in the dashboards. Good drilldown capability. Love the process execution tracking functionality Cons The interface took a couple hours (tops) to get used to, but it wasn't bad. There was a little snag with Mac OS X Catalina, but that's been resolved.

It supports almost all types of endpoint operating systems with lightweight agent installation. Crowdstrike has gone beyond traditional signature based anti viruses. Informative dashboards are nicely presented graphically to understand even for non-technical people as well. For enterprises this is the ideal tool to protect endpoints. Pros Crowdtsrike falcon agent is very lightweight and has lower resource utilization in endpoints. Further it supports all the endpoint operating Systems. Interfaces are simple and even non-technical people can understand. Dashboards are informative and graphical representation is perfect with breakdown approach. It provides remote control of the endpoint through the command line and one of the most needed options which most other Anti viruses don't have. It has threat intelligence with correlation and can map endpoints with an incident to provide the big picture. Cons Crowdstrike falcon sensor update is frequent and bandwidth utilization is a bit high since each and every node needs updates. When you are in a limited bandwidth with a higher number of PC’s this will cause too high bandwidth utilization and can interrupt your operation. When you. Connecting through proxy server machine detection is taking long.time Crowdstrike doesn’t support Windows XP. So if you have windows XP PCs in your environment you need some other antivirus to protect them. Review Source PM Phillip M.

The intergration with Slack is quite useful at pinging the team immediatley when we have high level security issues. Cons The learning curve of dianosing issues is a bit more steep, and the support team insists on running a extensive windows memory logging before they will talk to you. Review Source MH Matt H. IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Feature Packed and Informative Software" March 9, 2021 5.0 I enjoy it and find it useful.

Academic Computer Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "CrowdStrike by Falcon" October 24, 2019 5.0 Customer support is good and they are working on specific issues we've brought to their attention. Pros Crowdstrike is a modern endpoint protection software. Instead of guarding against a known set of viruses, it detects malicious behavior as well as protecting endpoints from known viruses, ransomware and malware. The admin console is logically and thorough. Cons Support for Mac and endpoints in steady state environments needs more development. There are some unknowns about duplication of endpoint entries in the console for Macintosh clients.

Pros I'm not sure about the monitoring portion of the solution - it's making us work overtime to assist them to clamp down on ransomware. Cons Almost everything - they make us work at night/over the weekend. Instead of deleting the threat and rolling back, it locks down our servers. It would then require IT to work on the backend.
