We use it for end point protection for the most part. It keeps us in a safe environment with a very small footprint on each device. We also use identity protection and their new SIEM product as we view them as superior to others we have had in the past. Although more expensive than most they have worked with us to get us to a reasonable cost for what you get out of the product.
Pros
Great endpoint protection
Real time support and monitoring
Identity protection
Cons
There SIEM product needs to keep improving to be more rebust
Reporting could be better within their platform
More cost effective options
Likelihood to Recommend
Its very easy to deploy on the endpoints and it does a great job finding issues before they spread. It also can get you out of the weeds if you are ever in trouble and don't have the product from the start. It's a first class program that really helps when needed and keeps you secure in your environment.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon as our EDR platform to protect the business against the risks that a modern technology business faces. We use CrowdStrike Falcon on all our linux servers due to its low footprint and memory usage, which enables us to not have to scale up our server sizes to facilitate the overhead that some other EDR solutions have.
Pros
Low memory footprint
Low CPU overhead
Comprehensive coverage
Good communication
Quick support for new operating system versions
Cons
Pricing
Likelihood to Recommend
CrowdStrike Falcon is well suited to linux workloads where a low overhead is desired, compared to our previous vendor CrowdStrike Falcon allowed us to shrink our instance sizes as it reduced the memory overhead and CPU utilisation required.

Our EDR and its operations utilize CrowdStrike Falcon as the cornerstone of security.
Currently, people are concerned about the protection of IDs.
Pros
Prompt response
Reliable follow up
High detection ability
Cons
Enhancement of Japanese language
Screen configuration that requires no screen transitions as much as possible
Likelihood to Recommend
CrowdStrike Falcon can be operated with a low operational load, and we believe it can be used by various organizations.
I think there are not many organizations for which he is not suitable.
Instead, I think it depends on whether or not you can trust and implement this highly complete service.

CrowrdStrike Falcon Use Case was very simple in terms of utilization of computing power during the scheduled scan. With Falcon Pro, we have achieved it and the result is fabulous. All endpoints are working normally and the security they have been provided is outstanding. I don't have to manage a single infrastructure for Anti Virus Management. The whole solution is cloud-based and everything you can manage from anywhere in the world. That is the beauty of this product.
Pros
Complete Cloud based Solution - A truly Next Gen AV
Less or Nil Compute Power Use
Integrated Threat Intelligence with Threat Severity Assessment
Complete visibility on USB Device Usage with Falcon Device Control
Cons
Device Control required more comprehensive
Prices needs to match with other peers
Migration Part needs more improvement
Likelihood to Recommend
If having a complex environment or don't want to keep on-premises AV Infra then CrowdStrike Falcon is the best choice. It is a Next-Gen AV [that] really helps us in terms of manageability and complete insights into our environment. You don't have to adopt this solution if you are having a small infrastructure.
We use CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection across our whole organization as our primary endpoint AV product. It gives us the unprecedented ability to see all actions taken by a user or malicious actor in order to determine the root cause of an incident. With the ability to quickly isolate a machine from the network we can keep minor issues from becoming larger ones.
Pros
Phenomenal EDR capability
Lightweight and easy to deploy sensor
Impressive machine learning and IOA based detections
Cons
Lots of add-on features add up the cost
Requires some training to fully utilize
Requires some false positive tuning initially
Likelihood to Recommend
Early on in our deployment, we had a ransomware outbreak introduced by a third-party vendor. Even with the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection sensor not deployed to old ICS machines and running (in a technically unsupported configuration) alongside another product, it was able to provide a herd immunity of sorts and drastically limit the ransomware's movement. The EDR capabilities of the sensor were an enormous help in tracking down the source of the infection while we were able to use the network containment feature to isolate infected machines as soon as they were seen. It was very impressive and helped us get back to normal in a week with minimal loss of productivity.

CrowdStrike is used across the entire organization for all of our endpoint protection needs. In addition, we have recently deployed the firewall protection module. While it doesn't have the needed firewall feature for FQDN rules, we know that this feature will be coming in the near future. In all, CrowdStrike has been a great product and one that I would highly recommend.
Pros
Endpoint Protection
Indication of Compromise Investigations
Central Administration
Cons
Firewall needs to have FQDN rules
Likelihood to Recommend
CrowdStrike is a great product and company and I would highly recommend it. The technical support has been fantastic and we have worked with them weekly to understand how best to protect the company from the onboarding phase through full deployment. The process was quick, but we wanted to be cautious. Our technical team was able to provide the details we needed to ensure that we didn't cause any disruptions to critical business processes.
We used Falcon Crowd Strike as a competitor to Sophos when looking for replacements, it was so extremely sophisticated and advance it was a major competitor. It was going to be used by the whole of the group across 3 sites in the uk to be our main form of AV. It helps us become more cyber secure.
Pros
Zero Day Protection
Management Portal
Support Given by crowdstrike
Cons
Cost point was too high
Deployment couldn't uninstall sophos as part of the installation
Some times a bit complicated to get your head round
Likelihood to Recommend
All in all we found crowdstrike to be a key competitor to Sophos Endpoint Security, its zero day protection was one of the top in the market and even on the gartner quadrant it was quite high. the only issue was that it was quite highly priced, if your are a huge business it more than pays for it self but a slightly smaller its not as viable.
Across the whole organization, it's our EDR solution. Addresses protection both on and off premises. In the three years that we've used the product we've been largely pleased with it.
Pros
Threat detection
Incident reporting
Detailed application reporting and analysis
Cons
Quick time scanning tool would be nice to have as an additional check for detections or incidents
Likelihood to Recommend
Very well suited for large organizations, or honestly any organization if your budget can fit it. This relieves a lot of stress for smaller security teams.
