The agents are deployed on every workstation, so policy changes can be enforced on all of them
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…

Centralized system, less stress on the network and runs smoothly
Since we're fully virtualized, it integrates seamlessly. We use the agent for deployment within the environment. Management is centralized, so updates, deployments, and reporting are done through the main console.  We have a lot of flexibility in scheduling and configuring how your antivirus…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The malware protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"The OverWatch is the most valuable feature to me. It's a 24x7 monitoring service, and when they see anything suspicious in my environment, they will investigate."
"I like the Overwatch feature the most."
"The most valuable features in CrowdStrike Falcon are the full EDR with antivirus, hunting, reporting, and RTR remote control."
"The automatic alert feature is the most important feature of the solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"Threat detection and prevention are the most significant features. It covers most of the data collected by sending it to McAfee by looking at the behavioral analysis, vulnerabilities, and such, and then it assesses the data with the threat intelligence in their analytical engine."
"The solution works well for endpoint security."
"The product offers good compatibility with other solutions and has good integration potential."
"It's valuable for protection and internet safety."
"The protection on offer is very fast."
"The tool offers protection from viruses for devices and endpoints."
"I like that it's all automated"
 

Cons

"I would love to see more investment in Insight because CrowdStrike have an opportunity to potentially displace some of the vulnerability management vendors with the visibility they can see over time. I want to see them continue to evolve, e.g., what other things can they disrupt which are operational things we have to continue to do as an organization."
"The technical support could improve because I am in India and the support I receive is from the UK or Australia. It is difficult to manage the time difference. The service could be faster. However, when we do have the support they are knowledgeable."
"It can be expensive depending on the features you select."
"Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by having an easier way to search and use the interface for extracting queries from the data. The interface could improve."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve if it became an XDR. When we look only to an end-point, we lost the context of the environment. I know it's another line of design of the product. However, if CrowdStrike becomes an XDR, it could be very good."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"CrowdStrike costs a little more than its competitors."
"McAfee MOVE AntiVirus blocks ports and applications that we need to use."
"I would like to see more emphasis on cybersecurity in the next release."
"The cost could be lowered a bit."
"It's an expensive solution."
"This solution is okay for users who are just office personnel. Developers or users who heavily use their laptops complain that it really slows down their laptops. Using this solution can be a big challenge from the performance perspective if you need a productive system that locally runs multiple VMs."
"They could improve the monitoring and classification of the data features."
"The threat protection could be improved."
"Sometimes, the updates don't happen successfully. The updates start, but they are not completed. Let's say there is a process that runs on the server-side every night, and it pushes the updates. Sometimes, these updates fail. I'm not sure whether it is a McAfee's problem or an internal problem with our systems. If this is really an issue with McAfee MOVE AntiVirus, McAfee can work on it and improve it in the next release. If it is an internal issue, I need to figure out why it is happening within the organization. We may need to take some technical support from McAfee to see what the problem is and then we need to get it fixed. At this point in time, all I know is that it happens sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"Years ago, when we bought CrowdStrike, you got everything it had. I was a little concerned when they broke this out into a la carte modules where you can buy EDR, Spotlight, etc., picking and choosing off the menu. I was a little worried that the solution would get watered down. However, I realized in my previous organization when we had the full suite that there were a bunch of features in it that we didn't have time to operationalize. So, I warmed up to it. I get the whole, "Look, you can pick and choose. Okay, everybody buys a steak, but do you want mashed potatoes, or do you want lobster mac and cheese?" So, you can pick the sides that you want, so you can buy the solution that you want and operationalize versus paying a lot of money and getting a bunch of things, but not using 60 percent of the tools in the box."
"The pricing is not bad. It's on the higher end of the market, but you get what you pay for."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"Our licensing fees were between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, which was pretty expensive for a small business."
"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"CrowdStrike Falcon offers excellent value for the money for our organization, particularly given our lean IT team."
"The solution requires an annual license."
"The solution could reduce the price of the solution. We are on an annual license."
"We have purchased a three-year license to use the solution and the price is reasonable."
"The subscription for the solution is annually or every three years."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"There is no monthly fee. You just purchase the tool."
"I have a student discount from McAfee MOVE AntiVirus. I paid approximately $16.00 for three years."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price of the solution could be lower."
