CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Reviews

We are using CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint protection across the organization.

I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy.

We have been using it maybe since last year.

It's stable, and we already forgot—it just installed and forgot.

Technical support is quite good. We can just WhatsApp the technical easily.

Positive

This is our first time using CrowdStrike.

It's easy to implement the product and we are already up and running in five minutes.

The pricing is still manageable. I think it's about five or six thousand per year. No additional cost for maintenance or support; it's all included in the quotation.

I don’t know if I need to recommend it. I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for our client's endpoint security in the manufacturing, banking, and IT industries.   

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has helped improve our security operations. When facing signatureless attacks, CrowdStrike's EDR solution, which also incorporates SOAR capabilities, can prevent attacks in real-time. The SOAR engine detects malicious activity and suspicious file or transaction behavior on the network. Based on this detection, CrowdStrike proactively prevents these attacks. Additionally, features like Spotlight, a valuable tool for vulnerability management, provide remediation actions. Spotlight identifies the specific patches or knowledge base (KB) articles needed to mitigate these types of attacks.

To experience the full value of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, we recommend deploying the Falcon Agent on at least 500 systems and monitoring their activity for 15 days to a month. This deployment will provide comprehensive visibility into whether CrowdStrike can detect suspicious activity that might be missed by other third-party antivirus solutions and firewalls.

The CrowdStrike platform boasts a wide range of features while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Compared to traditional antivirus software, its impact on system resources is minimal. In terms of specific figures, CPU utilization typically ranges from one to two percent, while memory usage falls between 12 and 15 MB. This translates to a very small footprint on our system.

CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems. It provides protection based on processes and activity behavior observed on the endpoint. The platform collects raw telemetry data from the endpoint and leverages it to proactively offer prevention and EDR capabilities. This approach offers multiple benefits, including eliminating the need for manual scans and providing broader protection against both known and unknown threats.

Due to the time zone difference, we in India experience delays in accessing immediate support for L2 and production-related issues until engineers become available in their respective time zones.

The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field. This creates a gap for customers who manage multiple systems under a single username, making it difficult to identify individual systems based on username alone. Adding a dedicated username column to the dashboard would greatly improve its functionality in this regard.

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

I would rate the stability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten. We have not received any complaints from our multiple customers related to stability.

I would rate the scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.

While there may be delays due to time zones, the technical support itself is good.

In collaboration with a security partner, we work with several other OEMs, including Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro.

The initial deployment is straightforward.

We utilize several third-party deployment tools for our installations, including Microsoft GPO, SCCM, and solutions offered by other market OEMs. These tools allow us to deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon Agent across all endpoints. Before deployment, we confirm the absence of any existing antivirus software. If the customer is already employing legacy antivirus solutions, we typically configure Falcon prevention policies to operate in "monitor mode." This means Falcon will monitor for threats without actively interfering with the existing antivirus. We refrain from uninstalling the legacy software until it becomes necessary. Once uninstalled, the Falcon prevention mode is switched to "aggressive mode," enabling it to function as the primary antivirus on the endpoint. This approach ensures a smooth transition while safeguarding endpoint security.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.
