CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Reviews

We use Falcon as a cloud-based security platform.

Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so your CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some other solutions use between 30 to 60 percent. 

CrowdStrike has some of the best threat detection capabilities you can get. It's a market leader.

Customers would benefit if CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies.

I have used Falcon for two years.

I rate Crowdstrike 10 out of 10 for stability.

CrowdStrike Falcon is 100 percent scalable. I've had no issues.

I rate CrowdStrike support eight out of 10.

CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security eight out of 10. If you're looking for something more advanced than traditional antivirus, I recommend CrowdStrike. It's more adaptable and stable. Falcon is one of the best solutions on the market. 

The solution is used for endpoint management and profiling. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers protection against security threats or attacks. 

The threat intelligence is the most vital feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. 

Certain endpoint management features, such as encryption and extensive file integrity monitoring, should be added to the solution. The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control. The functionality of DLP also needs to be enhanced. 

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for two years. 

The solution exhibits impressive stability. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

In our company, about 20 clients use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and the total number of end-users combining all clients exceeds 1000. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. 

Support is provided based on the service level availed from CrowdStrike. I would rate the basic tech support a six out of ten. An advanced service contract with the vendor includes more available support members for rapid response, I would rate the advanced support from the vendor an eight out of ten. 

Neutral

I have worked with Trend Micro, Symantec and McAfee. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a more enhanced and cost-effective solution than Trend Micro. 

The solution can be easily deployed. If numerous endpoints are involved in the deployment, automation tools like SCM can push the packages, which then start communicating with the servers. 

Our company offers security service management, therefore we manage the license renewals and facilitate the regular maintenance. One product manager from our company and a team of three professionals are needed to maintain CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. 

It's an expensive product. The solution costs around $60 for a single user on a yearly basis. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten. 

The solution's threat intelligence features enhance endpoint detection and security to a great extent. The aforementioned feature quickly detects new malware based on behavior with the assistance of an AI learning model. 

The solution acts as a single agent with multiple capabilities, but some features don't perform optimally, including DLP and file integrity monitoring, which aren't extensive enough. 

The product enhances endpoint security and management of global threats. The solution's AI module learns from behavior and it's able to detect behavior inconsistencies, facilitating rapid threat detection and mitigation. 

I would definitely recommend the product to other users. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is slightly more expensive than other competitor solutions. Every customer of our company can't afford CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and there isn't always a need for its high-end features, so we recommend a different solution. I would rate the product a nine out of ten. I believe some features are still missing from the solution. 

CrowdStrike Falcon is used primarily to enhance cloud security through a lot of automation in the platform. It provides benefits like automation, efficacy, and lower risk, allowing security analysts to focus on high-value tasks.

By deploying CrowdStrike Falcon, the organization can repurpose security analysts to focus on more high-value tasks due to the automation. It also optimizes on licensing because CrowdStrike covers a significant number of capabilities, which allows for the replacement of several vendors, thus reducing licensing and labor costs.

The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk. It also helps optimize on licensing since it covers a wide range of capabilities.

The SIEM needs to be more developed. Additionally, AI features could be enhanced.

I have been using the solution for only one year.

I use Falcon Cloud Security as our primary EDR solution, integrated with Splunk for alert management. While Falcon effectively mitigates many threats automatically, we leverage it for targeted threat hunting when we observe unusual patterns or a high occurrence of specific tactics. This allows us to ensure we are not being targeted and provides insights into potential threats to our environment.

Falcon Cloud Security has significantly improved our organization by providing detailed and clear insights into potential threats. Its precise visibility allows us to see everything entering and leaving our environment, enabling us to effectively mitigate attacks and respond to potential security incidents.

The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability. It ensures we stay ahead of potential threats by providing detailed insights and allowing us to investigate and address security concerns proactively.

One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal. While the documentation is comprehensive, I would like easier access to in-depth training and resources within the tool. Simplifying the portal for better navigation and learning would be beneficial.

Falcon's comprehensive and technical approach aligns well with our SOC's needs.

Deployment is generally straightforward, but like many tools, it takes time to fine-tune and achieve optimal configuration.

While I have heard that Falcon Cloud Security can be expensive, I believe the investment is justified for the peace of mind it provides.

My advice for someone considering CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is to do your homework and ask plenty of questions to fully understand the depth and capabilities of the tool. Overall, I would rate the solution as a nine out of ten.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security to manage our clients' cloud environments. It provides us with a unified view of all their cloud configurations, across different cloud providers. This allows us to identify security weaknesses, improve their overall security posture, and ultimately limit potential attacks on their systems.

Our CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security deployments vary, with some clients utilizing hybrid models, but the majority leverage private clouds hosted on AWS and Azure.

The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security should function as a standalone solution, offering Cloud Security Posture Management, Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management, and Cloud Workload Protection capabilities without requiring integration with additional Assurance, Detection, and Response solutions. This would allow clients to implement Falcon Cloud Security independently within their systems, eliminating the need for integrations.

The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products. Currently, the documentation lacks step-by-step details, forcing users to seek assistance from OEM partners. Fortunately, the integration process itself is straightforward.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward as it is cloud-based and one person is sufficient for installation.

We are budget-conscious and look for cost-effective solutions that can do the job efficiently.

Pricing is expensive. That said, if it does the job and is cost-effective, we go for it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Sometimes clients seek security solutions, and we sell those solutions as a partner from India. I take care of POCs and demos for CrowdStrike Falcon.

Falcon is a lightweight agent that works fully with the cloud, which is a major boost for security. It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly. We can use one solution for the whole security of the platform or organization. Additionally, they offer various products like Falcon Enterprise, Falcon Pro, and Falcon Complete, and a warranty to the customer. They provide compensation of up to one million dollars if there is a breach while using Falcon. These features are beneficial for businesses.

The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing. It could be a bit cheaper.

I have been using this solution for around three months. They've been in the market since 2014, and they are excellent.

It's quite stable. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten. My clients are medium-scale enterprise businesses.

Initially, I thought it would be difficult because I'm new to security solutions, having previously worked in management. However, the setup process with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security was easy. It's my first security solution, and everything they provided was good.

I would rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.

The deployment process took half a day. One person is enough to deploy the solution. It is easy to deploy. However, it does require maintenance. Trained personnel should be available for maintenance as security is critical, and every minute is important for us. Skill level should be adequate, and maintenance is a necessary task.

It's a bit expensive when comparing it with SentinelOne. I rate it as eight out of ten, where ten is very expensive. So it could be cheaper.

Both Sentinel One and Falcon are recognized leaders in the global market. In India, they are both prominent players. While Sentinel One is more widely adopted among organizations in India, Falcon also has a significant presence. As a Falcon partner, we aim to highlight the product's features to persuade customers to switch rather than emphasize its cost.

I would advise if you have legacy AVs, they can go with CrowdStrike Falcon. It's much easier to use, and your NGAV and XDR solutions are superb. The solution complexities have also been reduced, making it a good choice for an end-security environment. I recommend Falcon as a replacement for legacy AVs in the environment.

Overall, I would give it a nine out of ten because nothing is perfect. So there is always room for improvement.
