Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option

Pros

"The scalability is good."

Cons

"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."

Responsive and fast support, easy to deploy, well-tuned to ignore false positives

Pros

"We have a small IT Team, and this allows us to get sleep at night, knowing that someone else is taking care of any incidents that occur."

Cons

"It would be nice if the dashboard had some more information upfront, and looked a little better."

Good lateral movement and overwatch detections but requires improvements in the Mac environment

Pros

"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."

Cons

"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."

Speeds up the data collection for our phishing playbooks dramatically

Pros

"I like the dashboard nature of it. Everything is clickable, linkable, and information is easy to obtain and find. How it presents that information is probably the biggest win as far as the information correlation aspect. The presentation of it is very good."

Cons

"I would like them to improve the correlation of data in the search algorithms. When we run an investigation, malware, phishing, etc., I want to look at multiple endpoints at once to correlate that data to see the likenesses, e.g., how are they not alike or what systems and processes are running across those systems? I don't want to have to run the same search in their Spotlight module five, 10, 15, or 100 times to get 100 different results, copy that data out, and then correlate it on my own. In a very simple way, I want to be able to load up a comma-delimited list giving me the spotlight data on these X amount of hosts, letting me search for it quickly. We have had to go back to CrowdStrike, and say, "Our search are taking far too long for even one host." They did bump up the cores and that did improve performance, but it is still kind of slow to get that Spotlight data. That is probably our biggest pain point. I think that needs some help. I understand this kind of information access is probably not the easiest thing to do. It is probably a big ask depending on how their back-end is setup. "

The threat score helps us prioritize remediation and cross-reference with other products

Pros

"CrowdStrike displays a threat score when it detects an infection. This is helpful because not all detections are the same. It will classify them as ransomware, malware, phishing, etc. This feature helps us prioritize and cross-check with other EDR tools. "

Cons

"CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes wrongly flags things as malicious. Let's say a user is active on Chrome only. Sometimes, our cross-segmenting will fetch from the backend data and show that it is malicious because of memory or CPU utilization. "

The sensor requires very little memory and doesn't slow down your computer

Pros

"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."

Cons

"The content-filtering features for children could be improved. We have young grandchildren aged 12 and 8. My daughter, their mother, wants to keep them from getting in trouble on the net. She looked at all these other solutions from Google, Microsoft, etc., and she couldn't figure out how to make any of those work. I told her that I bet CrowdStrike could handle this. Sure enough, CrowdStrike can do exactly that. It's the same solution that the Defense Department gets. It works, but it's a little complicated to implement. It could be simpler to set the policies. "

Easy to deploy and manage with many helpful features

Pros

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

Cons

"The solution isn't known in my market. The brand isn't as recognizable. Their shortcomings are more on the marketing side."
