What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for mobile and endpoint protection.

The solution is extremely simple. That's what makes it great. It just works. There's no management of it, really. The sheer simplicity is what has really improved overall.

The threat intel provided is very good. The overall vulnerability and identification, for example, are excellent. As is the malware protection.

CrowdStrike is actually probably the most well-rounded endpoint platform. They're the leader according to Gartner.

The solution is easy to deploy and manage.

The product is able to handle mobile as well as the cloud and various operating systems.

What needs improvement?

I don't think the solution is really missing any features.

We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity.

Our clients can see threats and prevent them at the initial stage
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
  • "I would like to see them introduce DLP."

What is our primary use case?

We provide service to our customers based on their XDR requirements, such as multi-platform solutions or whatever they have. We use the solution to provide security for those integrated solutions and service their XDR platforms.

How has it helped my organization?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete will reduce the cost of an IT team. You just download the agent and install the license. It's as simple as that.

Also, because of the prevention the solution provides, our clients can see the threats and they can prevent them at the initial stage.

What is most valuable?

The XDR features are the most valuable in the solution.

And it is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports. If the internet is connected, the updates and everything can be automatically downloaded, and they can just click and monitor things.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see them introduce DLP.

For how long have I used the solution?

We are a partner for this solution and we have been working with it for more than four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is fine. We haven't seen any issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used to use McAfee and Kaspersky. We switched because CrowdStrike has very user-friendly licensing for both the customer and the partner.

How was the initial setup?

We haven't seen any challenges at the time of deployment. It is a cloud solution and is deployed per our customer's requirements. For example, if the customer has an Azure environment, we deploy it for Azure. And if they have on-prem services, we deploy it for those services.

Most of the time it is a remote implementation.

We have not seen any challenges regarding its maintenance.

What was our ROI?

Our clients definitely see return on investment from CrowdStrike.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro. In the Indian market, it is 10 percent higher.

What other advice do I have?

Instead of maintaining on-prem licenses, we suggest CrowdStrike for better performance and better prevention of threats.
