The tool helps to increase security because the threats we face keep changing, so we need better protection. In the past, we've faced some attacks on our network, and while we managed to deal with them, we realized we needed even stronger protection. That's why we decided to implement CrowdStrike Identity Protection.

The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365.

Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved.

I have been working with the product for one and a half years.

I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten.

Scalability isn't a problem for us. Many big multinational companies use CrowdStrike Identity Protection, so it's designed to handle environments like ours without any issues. My company has 500 users.

The tool's deployment is easy. Thanks to the installation scripting we utilized, the technical rollout took about two weeks. Then, there was some additional time, around two to four weeks, for customization and configuration. After that, the systems were up and running. So, all in all, it took about three months to have our mitigation strategies in place. We have one engineer for maintenance.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. I would recommend it to others. However, it's crucial to understand areas where the product might not provide coverage and how to mitigate those gaps. For example, it covers endpoints, networks, and Office 365 environments, but are there other areas in the attack surface that it doesn't address well? It's essential to be aware of any potential gaps upfront.

The solution helps in preventing incidents. However, it's challenging to quantify the exact impact because we don't know what would have happened without it. It's similar to having insurance for your house.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon for intrusion prevention management.

CrowdStrike Falcon proactively blocks threats and provides us with insights.

CrowdStrike Falcon integration is seamless.

The endpoint and server management are the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon.

CrowdStrike Falcon's GUI requires improvement for user-friendliness. The console's available options are unclear, making it difficult to understand and extract details. Additionally, correlating information within the console and reports proves challenging.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for two years.

CrowdStrike Falcon had some initial stability issues in our environment, likely due to its new integration. However, it appears to have matured and is now functioning reliably.

Being cloud-based, CrowdStrike Falcon offers easy scalability. Adding licenses through procurement increases resources without the need for additional hardware, making scaling straightforward.

While the technical support meets all response time commitments outlined in our Service Level Agreement, some users believe they should strive for a higher standard – a Security Level Target. This means responding to security incidents immediately, not just within SLA windows. Security tools are crucial for our environment's protection, and their use shouldn't be limited by SLA constraints.

After using Symantec, Trend Micro, McAfee, and VMware Carbon Black, we migrated to CrowdStrike Falcon due to a lack of support from the previous vendors and their shortcomings in comprehensive threat detection.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon eight out of ten.

The maintenance required is reasonable.

We have 6,000 endpoints in our environment.

CrowdStrike Falcon shines with its user-friendliness, providing clear insights into the endpoint environment. Proactive features are a major plus, offering actionable items and valuable attack path simulations that empower better decision-making.

We use Falcon to check the login attempts of the users. We can see who has logged in and when. We can see which workstation is assigned to each user. CrowdStrike helps us enforce policies, such as USB policies and users recycling passwords.

CrowdStrike is deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them. It lowers the manual work on each of the workstations. It has helped us manage device usage in our environment.

I like CrowdStrike's policies. The integration is easy to do. I can remember once when Falcon prevented a security breach occurred because someone clicked on a phishing link, and their credential was compromised. We used threat tracking to isolate the device from networks.

I have used Falcon for two years.

I rate Falcon nine out of 10 for stability.

I rate Falcon eight out of 10 for scalability.

Due to compliance requirements, our organization utilizes CrowdStrike Falcon as our Endpoint Detection and Response solution. This decision was particularly driven by the need to address a surge of ransomware attacks within our environment, experiencing between ten and 15 incidents at the time. The implementation of an EDR solution became crucial for effectively responding to these threats.

Our existing system lacked real-time monitoring and visibility, causing detection delays of even several minutes. CrowdStrike addressed this by offering near-instantaneous detection across the entire system. Furthermore, it allows for manual or automated response actions, significantly improving our overall incident response speed.

Integrating CrowdStrike Falcon with other solutions such as our SIEM was easy.

The key aspect of CrowdStrike Falcon is its behavioral detection approach. Unlike traditional signature-based platforms that rely on pre-defined patterns, Falcon analyzes an application's behavior to identify and respond to threats much faster. This makes it lightweight and minimizes impact on system performance. The sandbox feature is also valuable, while it incurs an additional cost, it can be valuable for deeper investigation.

The UI is not efficient. We are required to dig down to get more information, jumping from screen to screen.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for three and a half years.

CrowdStrike Falcon generally ran smoothly with minimal lag.

CrowdStrike Falcon meets our scaling needs. To increase usage we simply add more agents.

Frustrated by CrowdStrike's slow and inconsistent technical support, we ended up having more success researching and resolving the issue ourselves.

It is the 1st EDR we selected, after testing different solutions.

Leveraging the cloud platform, the initial deployment was straightforward. We simply needed to activate and deploy the agents. While configuration for a seasoned professional only took one to two hours, the entire deployment process typically takes a couple of days.

CrowdStrike Falcon can be more expensive than some competitors, and its base price doesn't cover every feature. For instance, adding sandboxing for advanced malware analysis incurs an extra cost.

We evaluated CrowdStrike and SentinelOne. However, since we bought the CrowdStrike, we did not move forward with SentinelOne.

CrowdStrike stands out for its superior threat detection speed, lightweight agents that don't impact system performance, and its helpful recommendations for responding to threats. This combination allows us to swiftly stop even unknown threats in their tracks.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon eight out of ten.

Two engineers max are required for maintenance.

We have 5,000 CrowdStrike Falcon users within our organization.

CrowdStrike Falcon utilizes a behavioral approach to security, proactively identifying threats based on their actions rather than relying on pre-defined signatures. This allows for faster response times compared to traditional signature-based systems.

A popular choice for Data Loss Prevention is CrowdStrike Falcon. This is the primary function our clients leverage it for, as it offers industry-leading DLP capabilities.

CrowdStrike Falcon has helped our customers secure their confidential data.

The DLP is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon. Additionally, the scanning is good and the deployment is easy.

The console is not user-friendly or visually appealing and has room for improvement. I would like a single pane of glass dashboard.

I have been an integrator of CrowdStrike Falcon for one day.

CrowdStrike Falcon is stable.

I have also worked with Trend Micro and Panda.

The initial deployment is straightforward. I would rate the ease of setup nine out of ten.

Two people are required for the deployment.

I need to upgrade the software occasionally but it doesn't require continuous maintenance.

While the specific deployment time varies depending on each client's individual environment, on average the process can be completed in a couple of days.

I only deploy the solution for clients, I don't calculate their ROI.

CrowdStrike Falcon's pricing is reasonable. We can customize features and that affects the pricing.

We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon nine out of ten.

Our clientele ranges from small to enterprise-level businesses.

I recommend CrowdStrike Falcon as it provides all the features of an EDR.

We use the product for cloud security. We use it for prevention, to watch for gaps in security. We work with customers seeking prevention for advanced apps.

Sometimes a customer has multiple solutions that come at a higher cost. They have to pay for all of these other security features. With CrowdStrike, customers get one agent for all system operations. It offers more security for remote work and clients gain access to the latest protections.

The solution offers good features. The prevention and device control are useful. It offers helpful firewall management and identity protection.

They've reduced the complexity and provide better security outcomes. Customers tend to prefer CrowdStrike.

It's easy to deploy and manage.

The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side. Everyone knows Microsoft Defender. Customers need to hear more about CrowdStrike and all the advantages and features on offer.

We've used the solution for three to four months.

I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches. I haven't had a problem with stability so far.

The capability to scale so far has been good.

Technical support is good.

I'm also familiar with Microsoft Defender. However, Defender works best with Microsoft and not necessarily other legacy applications. With CrowdStrike, you can secure all system operations and versions. It's easier to deploy and operate.

The deployment is seamless and users get immediate protection. It's lightweight. There's one agent deployed to endpoints in minutes. The product offers consistent coverage. There's no complex integrations and it doesn't need fine-tuning. In comparison, Defender can be more complex.

CrowdStrike can be deployed on any operating system, not just Microsoft.

There isn't really maintenance, it's set and forget. The agent updates automatically and receives continuous security updates, enabling immediate enforcement across endpoints.

The solution is well worth the cost.

The costs are predictable. There are no surprises.

In Chile, there are not a lot of CrowdStrike partners of the managed service; therefore, it's a little more expensive than Microsoft, as there are so many more managed partners for Microsoft. That said, if you look at the total cost of ownership, CrowStrike is better than Microsoft.

We're a reseller. We're still new to CrowdStrike.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. The cost is good and they offer better tech support. Also, the protection is wonderful.
