    I enjoy how well it integrates Cisco systems to provide a single pane of glass for security events that are easily digestible to the SOC. However there is room for improvement to integrate more seamlessly with non Cisco products. XDR is great to identify where malicious processes are in the MITR kill chain and is useful for threat analysis.

    CrowdStrike Falcon is well suited for any size of environment. Large to small, CrowdStrike Falcon does an amazing job. The ability to have the same security as a fortune 500 company and have a solution that sees the same threats that they are seeing is amazing. I do not think that there is a company or environment that wouldn't benefit from the CrowdStrike Falcon solution.

    • Support - we are often tasked with running down problems rather than being directed by support.
    • The sales staff we have dealt with are not very responsive or timely.
    • I believe this is a product built for installations of 300 users or more.

    Crowdstrike has a large suite of tools built for helping the engineers triage and respond to security event whenever identified. The ability to customize the security policies and implement more granular policies to different devices based on the functionality is unmatched. Crowdstrike provides so much of ability in a decent budget which ascertains the value for money or ROI.

    I think it is a complete and very trustful XDR platform, with very few False Positives. It is very well supported by highly skilled professionals on all levels: from pre-sales engineers, Customer Account Managers and support engineers.

    Any time we need to engage the Crowdstrike Falcon Complete Team, their response is switch, thorough, and they are sure to not close out any request until the customer confirms that they have provided an acceptable resolution. If I ever need anything from the account team related to the product, I also get a response from them within minutes typically to address my question. Top notch customer service!

    There is limited amount of learning that can be completed in an in-person training available. In my opinion, the self-paced learning provided by Falcon portal is more useful over in-person training. The support from Falcon is great and useful to overcome difficulties, if any.

    The training provided by Crowdstrike Falcon is complete in terms of the depth of technical knowledge and teaches the users about going through with the platform. There are lots of jargons for different tools that Crowdstrike Falcon has and this training teaches them all which helps in managing the platform better. Plus, the regular knowledge checks are also very helpful for the end user.

    It stacks on top. We love the ease of use, the third-party integration, having AI, and the CrowdStrike team was way more helpful with our team, so that adoption was within a couple of months. We also compared prices, and the value was higher, with a faster ROI, which helps our finance department start the project promptly.
