Simple, requires little management and is easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to deploy and manage."

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about a year at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. It doesn't fail or freeze. It doesn't seem to have bugs or glitches. We find it very reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good. If you need to scale it, you can.

How was the initial setup?

The solution isn't too complex to set up. We found it pretty easy to implement and deploy, actually. We're a small organization, so we didn't have too much complexity, however. We're less than 20 people, so our organization's setup was pretty quick.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the entire implementation process with our own team in-house. We didn't need the assistance of a consultant or integrator.

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

The company has to make money. I understand why they charge what they do, and I see the value in the product. Therefore, the pricing is fair.

What other advice do I have?

We're the secure digital transformation leader in Canada. We're customers and consultants that use different solutions. We're also a partner. We provide managed services and we actually sell the software.

We're 100% on the cloud and all of our solutions are on the cloud. We're using the latest version of the solution.

Overall, I would rate them ten out of ten. They have a great, holistic platform.

Top 20
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.

Effective alerts, excellent technical support, and many install options
Pros and Cons
  • "If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive."
  • "The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately."

What is our primary use case?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is used to inform the IT or security analyst if there is something happening inside the endpoint. Additionally, the EDR can take an action by itself if there is something abnormal happening inside the endpoint.

What is most valuable?

If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive. It will give an alert that is very useful and it takes action automatically. There at times needs to be some manual intervention but it is less often.

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately.

We have four to five people that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution. 

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

The solution is priced fairly. For the features you receive, it is worth the money.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

Can be used to dig deeper while doing an investigation
Pros and Cons
  • "Its IOCs alerting mechanism is good. I think it is AI based and categorizes behaviors which are unusual."
  • "Pricing is definitely a problem. It could be cheaper for licensing."

What is our primary use case?

It's an EDR group solution. We use it for behavioral-based analysis.

On our endpoints, we have signature-based and behavioral-based analyses, and we use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for behavioral-based analyses. 

What is most valuable?

I think it has very good features that help dig deeper while doing an investigation. Its IOCs alerting mechanism is good. I think it is AI based and categorizes behaviors which are unusual.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has good instrumentation, and the user interface is good too.

What needs improvement?

Pricing is definitely a problem. It could be cheaper for licensing.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for 5 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

How was the initial setup?

The installation was smooth and didn't take much time.

What about the implementation team?

We did it by ourselves. We have two or three engineers who run it and perform the rolling, installation, and upgrades.

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

We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Trend Micro and Sophos before choosing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

What other advice do I have?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is great, and I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten.

If you go with this solution, I think that you should also obtain another service called Hybrid Analysis, the premium edition. I think with this, you'll get malware samples you can correlate, and it will be a good tool for the SOC team.

A reliable solution with good features and good support, but it is very expensive and has a lot of false positives
Pros and Cons
  • "EDR and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are good features. The Spotlight feature is also good, and it also can detect patching-related vulnerabilities."
  • "We have also been using Cisco AMP for Endpoints for three years. We have received multiple detections in Cisco AMP for Endpoints, and we had to take some actions, whereas CrowdStrike has not detected anything critical since it has been implemented. Most of the incidents that it has detected are false positives. They should work on the false-positive issue. When it is implemented throughout the organization, it gets very difficult to check each false positive and investigate what is correct and what is not correct. It requires technical and manual intervention."

What is our primary use case?

We implemented this solution to secure everything in our environment, such as our endpoints, servers, and network.

What is most valuable?

EDR and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are good features. The Spotlight feature is also good, and it also can detect patching-related vulnerabilities. 

What needs improvement?

We have also been using Cisco AMP for Endpoints for three years. We have received multiple detections in Cisco AMP for Endpoints, and we had to take some actions, whereas CrowdStrike has not detected anything critical since it has been implemented. Most of the incidents that it has detected are false positives. They should work on the false-positive issue. When it is implemented throughout the organization, it gets very difficult to check each false positive and investigate what is correct and what is not correct. It requires technical and manual intervention.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable and reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have not scaled it, but we have implemented it across the company.

How are customer service and technical support?

They have been very responsive. There are no concerns about their service. 

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

We also use Cisco AMP for Endpoints. Cisco AMP for Endpoints is signature-based, and CrowdStrike is behavior-based. We have received multiple detections in Cisco AMP for Endpoints, whereas CrowdStrike has not detected anything critical since it has been implemented. There are a lot of false positives.

Both Cisco AMP for Endpoints and CrowdStrike are agent-based, but with Cisco AMP for Endpoints, we get a much slower system because it requires a lot of processing power, whereas CrowdStrike doesn't require a lot of processing power. 

In terms of pricing, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is 50% more expensive than Cisco AMP for Endpoints.

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

Its price is very high. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is 50% more expensive than Cisco AMP for Endpoints.

What other advice do I have?

I can recommend this solution. It is definitely one of the best products in the market, but so many false positives are its minus point. Cisco AMP for Endpoints is better than this.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a seven out of ten.
