Helps users keep track of everything from one place
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that we can track all of it in one place across all those different locations. Because it's cloud-based and reports up to the cloud, we also have access to the back end, and an incident response team monitors all incidents. We also have an escalation process in place. From my perspective, there are other pieces of CrowdStrike that the security architect team uses as well, but I don't get involved with those as much. I usually just wait for the end results or the notification if I need to get involved if there is an incident.

Reasonable price, scalable, useful for Malops detections, and helpful for layered defense
We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges. They should be proactive, but we have to chase them a lot. This is where there is room for improvement. They should be proactively serving their customers. We had some batch update issues, and we're still working on them. We are almost there, but it took a couple of email exchanges in order to achieve it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There's less workload on the endpoint."
"There are many different modules with this solution where vulnerability and inventory management can be carried out. The solution has a good dashboard and offers a lot of insights into your systems."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the overall endpoint protection."
"The initial setup was easy."
"Overwatch is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"CrowsStrike Falcon Complete is a good solid endpoint protection solution; it has a good engine and is on par in terms of efficacy with SentinelOne, and with Microsoft Defender for endpoint protection."
"Its IOCs alerting mechanism is good. I think it is AI based and categorizes behaviors which are unusual."
"Its machine learning and AI features are good."
"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
 

Cons

"Its support should be improved. The product is amazing, but the problem is that their support team is overconfident about the product. If something happens, they don't listen. They keep arguing with the customer. It should have more reporting. Reports are not that customizable. We need customizable reports for our customers, but they not there in CrowdStrike as well as SentinelOne."
"The technical support is good. However, the technical support is outsourced to India which causes some language barriers. I am not sure if this is still an issue, they might have allotted more suitable representatives."
"There can be an application for the mobile device for the administrator of the platform to have an overview. In less than two minutes, they should be able to see what is going on and take action."
"The technical support is satisfactory, but there is room for improvement to enhance it."
"They need to continuously integrate with other security tools such as CyberArk or Mimecast, to cover the entire IT infrastructure."
"The performance slows down by between 10% and 40%, depending on what type of work the machine is doing."
"The only aspect where we've offered feedback for potential enhancement is essentially the user experience."
"Pricing is definitely a problem. It could be cheaper for licensing."
"Their support needs improvement. We have to chase the Customer Success Manager a lot to get things done. It should have more features in terms of portability. It should be more scalable on other endpoints such as mobile devices and BYOD."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking from an IT standpoint, you get what you pay for. There is proactive monitoring in addition to the insurance policy. They do that better than others. Would you like it cheaper? Yes, but at what cost?"
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive for our region."
"Falcon Complete could be a bit cheaper."
"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"There is an annual subscription."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
