CrowdStrike Falcon Reviews

The tool helps to increase security because the threats we face keep changing, so we need better protection. In the past, we've faced some attacks on our network, and while we managed to deal with them, we realized we needed even stronger protection. That's why we decided to implement CrowdStrike Identity Protection.

The main feature we rely on is the product's intelligence. We appreciate the advice from the team during implementation. One of the main reasons we chose this product is its compatibility with Office 365.

Improvement is always possible. It's challenging to gauge how much future mitigation is provided, especially since we've only been using the product for about one and a half years. Every product faces this challenge because nothing is ever completely foolproof. So, besides relying on technology, we also focus on increasing our staff's awareness of security issues. Feedback from my colleagues suggests that the reporting and dashboarding of incidents could be improved.

I have been working with the product for one and a half years. 

I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. 

Scalability isn't a problem for us. Many big multinational companies use CrowdStrike Identity Protection, so it's designed to handle environments like ours without any issues. My company has 500 users. 

The tool's deployment is easy. Thanks to the installation scripting we utilized, the technical rollout took about two weeks. Then, there was some additional time, around two to four weeks, for customization and configuration. After that, the systems were up and running. So, all in all, it took about three months to have our mitigation strategies in place. We have one engineer for maintenance. 

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. I would recommend it to others. However, it's crucial to understand areas where the product might not provide coverage and how to mitigate those gaps. For example, it covers endpoints, networks, and Office 365 environments, but are there other areas in the attack surface that it doesn't address well? It's essential to be aware of any potential gaps upfront.

The solution helps in preventing incidents. However, it's challenging to quantify the exact impact because we don't know what would have happened without it. It's similar to having insurance for your house. 

We are using it as an EDR solution for endpoint protection. 

Everything is changing rapidly nowadays, and new threats can come into the organization from any source. I have found this product to be very useful. 

If I want to drill down into an unusual activity or something else, I can do that. I can go deep into what processes were involved, what network operations were involved, and what unauthorized users wanted to do. I can see how CrowdStrike processed and blocked the operation. The investigation is very easy for me. I can go to the tree level and see what is going on. It is very useful.

The CrowdStrike Falcon agent is very lightweight. Users never complain about their PCs getting stuck and things like that. In my previous experience, when anything was getting scanned, our PCs would become slow. Users would complain about PCs getting slow. This is a positive point of CrowdStrike Falcon.

The dashboard area must be improved. We have integration with Splunk, and we are creating a dashboard there. Their dashboard area must be up to date. It should have more details and more options to create the reports and things like that.

I have some concerns about their support. I am not happy or satisfied with their support. Something happened, and we opened a ticket. Their support engineer just vanished, and after a month, he came back and told us that he was off work and could not pursue the ticket. He said that he now has the time, but logs are gone because there is a time limit. We were asked to repeat the test. This is very unusual for me. 

In my organization, we have been using it for the last one and a half years. I have been using it for the last two to three months because I recently joined the organization.

From my understanding and observation, it is a stable product, but I have been using this product only for the last two to three months. I am just in the learning phase.

We have almost 3,000 users using this solution. 

I would rate CrowdStrike's support team a three out of ten. Their support is unacceptable for us. We are doing some testing ourselves. When we found an issue where CrowdStrike should have blocked something but did not, we opened a ticket with CrowdStrike. They tried to communicate with us and looked at the files that we shared. We had updated signatures, and we shared with them the SHA values, but after that, they suddenly vanished. Just two days ago, I got an email from them that the engineer was on leave and he is back now. They asked us to perform the activity again, which is unacceptable.

When any issue happened with Symantec, we opened a ticket, and they would accept their mistake if something was not caught by Symantec. They would then update the definitions and send us the latest updates. This is the way to work on the latest technology trends.

Negative

I have experience with Symantec endpoint protection. As compared to Symantec, CrowdStrike is a very good product. I have also worked with Microsoft Defender.

Every product has some advantages and disadvantages. I have worked with Microsoft Defender and Symantec, and now, I am working with CrowdStrike. Every organization's needs are very different. It depends on what the organization wants. For example, the security requirements of the banking sector are very high. The banking sector has different requirements, the retail sector has different requirements, and a software development organization has different requirements. An organization should weigh the pros and cons and decide based on the requirements.

Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon an eight out of ten.

We are using it primarily for NGAV, but we also use their EDR product and Falcon OverWatch.

Most of our internal stuff is still on-prem. We do use SaaS for vendor products, but our internal environment is still mostly on-prem.

I think everyone is trying to move away from on-prem solutions. Having the cloud-based management console makes it a lot easier to maintain. It takes a load off our hands as engineers and analysts. It helps with upgrades and patching, I don't have to worry about on-prem servers for maintenance, but also as another thing to defend against, so getting rid of that is definitely beneficial.

As a cloud-native solution, it provides us with flexibility and always-on protection. I don't have to worry about data center failures on my end. I don't have to worry about any issues in our server rooms affecting the protection of the environment as a whole. Having CrowdStrike take that responsibility is a load off our backs.

Falcon has been very successful in preventing breaches. In the beginning, there were a lot of false positives as Falcon learned our environment, but I would definitely give it a positive rating overall for protecting our environment.

The NGAV portion is the most valuable feature. The primary reason that we went with the product was their reputation. In practice, it has been a definite step up from where we were previously.

We are using Falcon Investigate, which is their EDR tool. The EDR has made it infinitely easier to investigate into more detail on end user workstations and servers. Any sort of detection where I can go back into the EDR tool and dig down deeper into the endpoint is great. This was a function that we did not have previously.

There are some aspects of the UI that could use some improvement, e.g., working in groups. I build a group, then I have to manually assign prevention policies, update policies, etc., but there is no function to copy that group. So, if I wanted to make a subgroup for troubleshooting or divide workstations into groups of laptops and desktops, then I have to manually build a brand new group. I can't just copy a build from one to another. Additionally, in order to do any work within a group, I have to first do the work on the respective prevention policy page or individual policy page, then remove the group if the group is assigned to a different prevention policy, remove the prevention policy, and then add the new one in. So, it can get a little hectic. It would be easier if I could add and remove things from the group page rather than having to go into the policy pages to do it.

I have been using it less than a year. We are relatively new customers.

My impressions of the stability are positive. I haven't had any problems since implementation with stability or availability.

Minimal maintenance is required on our side post-deployment, but it still does require maintenance. If I have to build out new groups or a troubleshooting group, e.g., tweaking policies if machines change subnets, then there is still maintenance required.

All post-implementation maintenance and administration is handled by a single security engineer.

We are a relatively small firm, but I have had no problems in my deployment plans. I could easily see this scaling upwards.

In total, we are protecting roughly 1500 endpoints.

They have been very on point and helpful. I have never had to ask them where they are. They are always following up with me trying to keep the tickets live, so that is great. I have been very impressed.

We replaced Symantec Endpoint Protection. On the one hand, we wanted a fully NGAV. Symantec was still using a hybrid model, a mix of signature-based and behavioral-based detections, so moving over into a full NGAV product was important to us. We wanted to stay up to date on the ever changing nature of malware, especially since we have been seeing more malware nowadays that can evade strictly detection-based systems. Also, Symantec support was very hard to track down or talk to. All in all, CrowdStrike has been more responsive to any questions or concerns, which is big when you are dealing with vendor solutions.

Fortunately, we have not experienced any major detections. However, testing-wise, CrowdStrike has been more effective overall.

Deployment was pretty easy. We scripted out a process in GPO, then we were able to deploy it fairly seamlessly.

We managed to deploy it to all our servers within a week or two. That was mostly due to getting clearance from server owners, not due to the CrowdStrike installation. Then, for the workstations, it was a bit longer just because of office locations and when people had their computers on. The CrowdStrike process was very smooth. It was really just the bureaucracy part that took a while.

We had to change management protocols. We put it out to dev servers and workstations in detect-only mode as we deployed CrowdStrike to endpoints that had a preexisting AV system still on them, in order to avoid any time where a system would not be protected by an antivirus system. So, we deployed CrowdStrike, then disabled the previous antivirus system and activated CrowdStrike's prevention policies, then uninstalled the previous antivirus system.

Four or five people were involved in the deployment: a security engineer, two workstation engineers, and various server owners.

It is protecting our environment, so it is worth the cost.

It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably.

The pricing was very fair for what we got.

Different components are additional price points. We got the components that were right for us, but other organizations may require more (or less) components to suit their needs.

CrowdStrike is an industry leader. When we were looking for a replacement technology for NGAV, their name was on the top of a Google search.

We did a PoC with CrowdStrike. We deployed the PoC only to a select group of test machines, so we were able to deploy rather quickly. The PoC helped immensely in the decision-making process.

We did evaluate Cylance and Carbon Black. All the products that we investigated looked good. In the end, we went with CrowdStrike because of: 

1. The reputation of the organization in the AV community.
2. Its out-of-the-box readiness. 
3. Ease of maintenance and administration.

Take the time you need in the beginning to fully build out all the groups and prevention policies that you will need. It may take a bit longer during the initial setup, but it is worth it in the long run because it makes maintenance down the line much easier than having to build new groups or prevention policies as they come up. Definitely take the time needed in the beginning. Then, later down the road all you have to do is check some boxes, as opposed to building out brand new groups and prevention policies, which can take awhile.

In the beginning, there will be a bunch of false positives as it learns your environment. However, those are very easily handled within the UI, creating IOA or machine learning exceptions. With our previous solution, we had a couple hundred exceptions, and with CrowdStrike, we have six or so.

CrowdStrike has fulfilled its function very well. We got it specifically to serve the purpose that it is serving.

It is a solid nine out of 10.

We primarily use the product for the security of the endpoints to protect against viruses and malware. It protects our devices from infection. 

The solution offers a very low footprint and provides very good protection. 

The resources that it uses are much lower than any other EDR or antivirus solution. The amount of RAM that it uses and the CPU that it uses are much lower than the other antivirus solutions.

It is an easy product to deploy. 

We've found the product to be scalable. 

It is stable and reliable. 

We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control. There are traditional antivirus features missing in XDR, and that is an issue. 

I've been using the solution for 15 months. 

It is a very stable solution. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have 55 people currently using the solution. 

This is a scalable product.

We have yet to contact technical support. I can't speak to how their services are. 

We were using another antivirus previously. However, it was heavier. We liked how this solution used much fewer resources and the fact that we didn't need to update our machines. 

The solution is simple to set up and deploy. It's cloud-based, which makes everything easy. It is already configured; you just need to prepare it on the endpoint. 

You can deploy the solution within a day. 

We are a partner and therefore get the solution for free. 

We are Crowdstrike partners. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using; however, it is likely the latest. 

From the theoretical perspective, it's a good product. They just need more features. You can't just replace an antivirus with it; you first need to ensure it's covering all of your requirements.

I'd rate the product nine out of ten. 

CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable features are the lightweight agent which has absolutely zero performance issues. There is no performance deterioration on the laptop on the network. It is a signature-less antivirus and anti-malware solution, it doesn't depend on signatures which better protects the systems.

The solution comes with many competitive modules, such as the Discover Module. It is helpful to us with regard to the application search. For example, which users are using which application, what is the application involved in, how many administrators and local users are there, and do the users have administrator privileges. It can give us a lot of information. Additionally, it can inform us if the user's password has changed. The solution is very useful for administrators and is overall easy to use and manage.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for seven months.

CrowdStrike Falcon is a highly stable solution. We have not had any performance or compatibility problems.

The solution is scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 users using this solution in my organization. We plan to increase usage in the future.

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.

We were previously using Symantec and we switched to CrowdStrike Falcon.

The initial setup is straightforward. It took us approximately two weeks to implement.

We have one person that does the implementation and support of CrowdStrike Falcon.

The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want.

I would highly recommend this solution to others.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon a nine out of ten.

The initial use case was for CrowdStrike to be a replacement for McAfee. We wanted to come up with something that was a lot more adaptive to emerging world threats and not just strictly signature-based. We wanted something focused a lot more on heuristic analysis and pattern analysis first, e.g., isn't just sheer signature. Additional use cases are workstation servers and as much as we can do in our OT environment.

It has allowed our security team to have more time and resources built into things that are used to run the business versus needing to babysit our antivirus platform, or any malware platform. With what we have been paying for, it allows us to be a lot more involved with how the business is being run from a security, risk, and compliance standpoint.

We have signed up for Falcon Complete, which is their completely managed service. This has done nothing but paid dividends since we have rolled it out. Slightly before I started, there was a ransomware issue. CrowdStrike did exactly what it was supposed to when we joined networks with the company that we were acquiring. So, that was helpful to us.

To the best of our knowledge, it has stopped everything that we have seen. It has allowed us to focus our efforts on other things relevant to how the overall business functions.

It helps us in the M&A environment because it is a very simple, easy tool to deploy, being pretty much all cloud-based. While we're not building our security practice around it, it is a tool that we want to make sure does integrate well, if at all possible, with any new tool that we purchase moving forward.

It is especially important to us that CrowdStrike Falcon is a cloud-native solution. We have a directive for cloud-first architecture at this point. Anything that is cloud-native, or has a cloud offering, will always get first billing over something that is on-prem. We are a small security team. Having the ability to have a service or application that is not wholly managed by us, but rather governed and used by us, is the ideal solution.

The flexibility comes from allowing us to do a mass push, if we need to. We would find always-on protection with pretty much any solution. However, the fact that it is in the cloud, that just makes it that much better.

I would like to see a little bit more in the offline scanning ability. This just comes from my background in what I have done in other positions. They only scan on demand, so I always have this fear that we sometimes maybe email out a dormant virus and can be held liable for that. That is something where I would like to see a little bit more robustness to the tool. 

U.S. Venture has been using it since the first quarter of 2019. I, however, did not start with the organization until the Summer of 2020.

It has been very stable. There have been no real issues that we have had in the deployment or use of the CrowdStrike system in general. There has been zero downtime.

For our workstations, we don't worry about the updates. However, we have a tighter grip on updates for our server environment only because there was an issue at a point with one update. Since then, we would like to keep our deployments at an N-1. So, there is more of a check built-in just to make sure that the latest and greatest doesn't actually break anything unintentionally.

The CrowdStrike sensor is always kept at N-1 for our production servers. Our test servers are always up to date.

From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool.

We have all our desktop engineering group and server team as admins in the system, but they only use it for specific troubleshooting in their job roles. So, if the server team needs to do something, then they can just log in and do it as well as the desktop engineering group. They can just go in and do stuff, if it is something related to computers or servers. As far as for the overall management of the system, that is left to the security team.

It is currently being used to the extent that we need it. After CrowdStrike had their user conference last Fall, they introduced a lot of new tools, specifically one around forensic that we would like to get our hands on. However, there are no real plans for doing any major increases of its toolset. I do know that there is a project that will be going on for using its mobile application on some Android tablets, but it is still very much in its infancy. So, we are not quite sure how that will roll out yet.

I have never used their standard technical support. I do everything through their unofficial Reddit support forum. Also, if there are any other major technical issues, then I work directly with our TAM. So, I have never just reached out and created a general support case. Therefore, I cannot speak to how well they respond. However, their unofficial Reddit support has been fantastic with helping me work through troubleshooting issues and a couple of queries, where I was having issues trying to get the syntax correct. They have been nothing but helpful.

I believe they have their actual support engineers on Reddit, but there is no SLA nor anything guaranteed on that Reddit page. They claim that right there in the subreddit rule. However, I have had nothing but good luck working through them. It could take a few hours to one or two days to get a response, but it has always been for things that aren't pressing. For things that are pressing, then it is a direct call or email to our technical account manager who is very responsive.

They have a great online forum for customer use cases. That has been a great crowd sourcing thing. It is unofficial. I just stumbled across it, but the subreddit for their support has been spectacular for many reasons.

Previous to CrowdStrike, our organization was using McAfee VSE with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO). Switching from McAfee to CrowdStrike, we saw a reduction in resources being used on both the workstations and servers. We saw an increase in detections, be that good or bad. We would like to think it was a good thing, because now it is finding a lot more stuff that wasn't strictly signature-based. So, it provided almost a very lightweight SIEM-type of response. It was providing information about installed applications, account lockouts, and top console users. It was a very nice bonus to have that information in addition to just the general overall anti-malware that CrowdStrike is known for.

CrowdStrike is so much easier to use. The UI is far more intuitive. The breakout of how the policies as well as the organizational structure within the UI for how the computers are laid out is far more intuitive. It feels a lot more based around how AD kind of functions. Because I am already familiar with Active Directory, the move to using that in CrowdStrike is very seamless, at least in my mind.

The agent is far more lightweight than our previous antivirus solution. It is a lot less resource intensive. We don't have any more on-prem servers to manage for running the application, which is another benefit to being in the cloud. There are just a couple of holes punched in the firewall for communication in and out.

A lot of the switch was focused around the fact that CrowdStrike was solely a cloud-native solution as well as heuristics versus signature.

It is very simple to deploy the solution’s sensor to our endpoints. Right now, it is part of our standard build process through a SCCM. So, it gets a version, then it is obviously outdated because our desktop engineering group can only update the image so quickly. Once it is checked into the cloud, it updates, decides to download, and gets the new seamless version. It has been wonderful to have and very helpful to us.

The initial setup was done in less than two months.

The implementation strategy was done how any other mass deployment is done. You take a small set of computers, put it on one, remove the old solution, and then run that group by itself, figuring out if there are any new or existing exemptions that needed to be in play. Once it is stable, it is rolled out to a larger group, the process is repeated, and then it is moved onto the servers.

Overall, four people worked on the deployment: It would have been my predecessor, my other coworker, and two server guys to do the server environments.

Our ROI has been high compared to what we had with McAfee. We spend about two hours a month for its care and feeding, which is really low maintenance. We previously spent two to three times that amount of time managing our McAfee environment.

Pricing and licensing seem to be in line with what they offer. We are a smaller organization, so pricing is important. Obviously, we would make a business case if it is something we really needed or felt that we needed. So, the pricing is in line with what we are getting from a product standpoint.

Since moving to CrowdStrike, we have not looked at other endpoint management solutions. In fact, when we look at a new tool, we want to make sure it will play well with CrowdStrike, be it a new SIEM or anything cloud-based. 

Make sure you know what the policies do. There are a lot of good and bad things that you can do with too strict or too loose of a policy governing workstations or servers.

We have evaluated the CrowdStrike Horizon module. We are not there yet. Our environment has not changed drastically since our last review of it. So, we have not felt the need to revisit it since then.

It is important to not solely rely on one product, especially one that has a good or bad name, such as McAfee. Because there was a lot of, "Oh no, we got an antivirus. We're fine." It helps to make sure you always have an in-depth defense strategy.

I would rate it a solid nine out of 10. 

We use CrowdStrike Falcon mostly for EDR.

We implemented CrowdStrike Falcon to gain better control over our endpoints, servers, and work sessions. Unlike traditional antivirus programs, Falcon's sophisticated features allow us to comprehensively manage and enhance security, providing a more robust solution for our specific needs.

In the past year, Falcon has significantly improved our organization's security by consolidating endpoint management. With a single call to Falcon, we can oversee all endpoints, eliminating the need for multiple platforms and streamlining our security operations for better efficiency and awareness.

The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon for me is its unified sensor, applicable across all models. This consistency simplifies operations, and while the analytics and server capabilities are significant, having a single sensor for all models stands out as the key advantage in managing security effectively.

There is room for improvement in managing multiple customer IDs. Enhancements in the console web for better control and customization of sensor features would be valuable to ensure a smoother experience in handling various customer IDs and installations.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for about a year.

I have not had any stability issues with CrowdStrike Falcon.

I would rate the scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon as a ten out of ten.

The technical support is not very good. I would rate it as an eight out of ten. One improvement could be reducing the response time for cases, as waiting two or three days, even for less critical issues, can be a bit long. Additionally, a better feedback loop on submitted ideas would enhance the efficiency of communication with the product group, providing more clarity on whether proposed features or versions will be considered.

Positive

Before Falcon, we used Trellix. We switched to Falcon for enhanced security, moving beyond just antivirus protection. Falcon provides more advanced features and a comprehensive security solution.

The deployment of Falcon was relatively easy, with no major issues except occasional misconfigurations on the filter. The process for individual work sessions is fast, taking around a few minutes, but for servers, it requires more time due to the need for antivirus removal and sensor replacement, involving server restarts. Overall, the deployment time depends on the scope, ranging from minutes for work sessions to more extended periods for servers.

At the moment, we have around twenty thousand users in our environment. Our setup spans multiple locations, mainly in Portugal, and we operate on various operating systems, including Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Falcon, being a SaaS product, doesn't require maintenance on our end. Updates are needed for servers, but they can be easily managed through the web interface without causing any inconvenience for us.

I would recommend conducting a proof of concept with CrowdStrike Falcon before making a decision. While the product has strengths, I would advise new users to address questions and doubts directly with the product team, especially when seeking new features or improvements. Ensure there is a clear communication channel for feedback and inquiries. Overall, I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon as a nine out of ten.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint security and response, and Horizon to manage and protect our data.

Following a 2021 security incident, the general response team recommended implementing CrowdStrike. We adopted their suggestion and found its network threat detection and prevention capabilities invaluable.

I like the feature called RTC, the remote time connector. It allows us to connect to a computer via the command line and execute commands for various functions and investigations. This eliminates the need for any additional programs. We can launch the connection and its subcommands from a single console.

The containment feature is another valuable tool. It allows us to isolate any machine exhibiting suspicious behavior or facing a detected threat. Once activated, containment immediately severs the machine's network connection and blocks user access.

Despite implementing tuning rules specifically designed to address them, we are still encountering a significant number of false positives. This issue persists even after collaborating with their support team to find a solution.

I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for three years.

While we encountered some bugs with on-demand scanning, the overall performance and stability of the system are positive. CrowdStrike Falcon is less resource-intensive than our old McAfee solution, which often led to performance complaints due to its high memory consumption.

CrowdStrike Falcon is scalable. Adding new features or licenses to CrowdStrike Falcon is seamless, with no disruption to our system's performance. Installing new modules is easy because it uses the same sensor.

While I've found screen sharing helpful with other support teams, CrowdStrike's technical support has never proactively suggested it. Instead, they've always initiated contact by calling me back after I submitted a ticket. We recently offered to screen share, but it seems it's not their preferred method. The support is good but it is not the best I have used.

Positive

Previously, we utilized Carbon Black for our endpoint security needs. However, we transitioned to CrowdStrike for several compelling reasons. As a prominent market competitor with widespread adoption among organizations, CrowdStrike offered a robust platform capable of meeting our evolving security requirements.

The 2021 incident further underscored the importance of robust security tools. CrowdStrike's capabilities proved invaluable in navigating the aftermath and instilled confidence in its continued effectiveness for future challenges.

Beyond its proven track record, CrowdStrike seamlessly integrates with our existing security ecosystem. The platform's comprehensive feature set simplifies endpoint management from a centralized console. Additionally, its granular telemetry across various modules provides invaluable insights during incident detection, enabling us to gather holistic information from each affected machine.

Furthermore, CrowdStrike consolidates our security stack by encompassing next-generation firewalls, endpoint detection and response, and real-time endpoint scanning, eliminating the need for separate solutions like McAfee. This streamlined approach enhances operational efficiency and simplifies security management.

The initial deployment presented some challenges due to the need to install the solution on all machines. This phase, requiring careful coordination among ten people over several weeks, involved connecting all the computers to the network. However, once this foundation was laid, the subsequent rollout proceeded smoothly.

The implementation was completed in-house by our people.

The return on investment is evident in the enhanced security posture achieved through continuous monitoring and immediate isolation of compromised machines. This proactive approach not only mitigates risk but also provides significant peace of mind for our team, alleviating concerns and optimizing their performance.

While CrowdStrike Falcon offers significant security benefits, its high price point might make it prohibitively expensive for many small and medium-sized businesses, including companies like ours.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon a nine out of ten.

CrowdStrike Falcon is a great tool. Investing in proper training on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform is highly recommended for any organization seeking to maximize its potential and avoid navigation struggles within the console. However, it's important to note that effective utilization of Falcon without CrowdStrike's managed services necessitates the formation of a dedicated team responsible for managing the solution.
