Community insights

TrustRadius Insights for CrowdStrike Falcon are summaries of user sentiment data from TrustRadius reviews and, when necessary, third party data sources.

Pros

AI/ML-based detections: Users have consistently praised the clear presentation on the dashboard and easy filtering options based on various criteria like hostname, detection name, severity, date, and time. Many users find this feature to be highly intuitive and effective in managing security alerts.

Full process chain tracing: The ability to trace the complete process chain instead of just showing the source file or script is highly valued by reviewers as it significantly aids in identifying and addressing main security concerns promptly and accurately.

Enhanced security measures: Users appreciate the network segmentation for hosts and servers using firewall capabilities, USB blocking by the sensor, and IDP alerts from different domains. These features are seen as beneficial for strengthening overall security measures within their environments.

CrowdStrike Falcon Review

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is the organisation's antivirus software and is also used as DLP. In terms of USB, we have more than 1,500 clients installed on PCs and 50 servers. The USB blocking tool is what we use most on a daily basis, along with checking the backups that the servers make every day.

Pros

  • Bloq USB
  • Identification of critical modifications in system files

Cons

  • It could improve the information it displays about detections.
  • EL recognises some USB devices and makes it easier to mark them than to create exclusions, such as when a printer USB device is recognised as a mobile phone.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are very proud of how we have configured everything and how CrowdStrike Falcon works in our organisation, as well as how we use various tools. Incident detection, USB permission, vulnerability detection, etc. The tool is user-friendly and has many interesting features.

A Product you can Trust

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have CrowdStrike Falcon Complete installed on all devices that a user can log into, so servers, desktops, laptops, etc. CrowdStrike does a terrible job of stopping anything that is unexpected and potentially dangerous, while not impacting the users ability to get their job done. Management is relatively straight forward and notifications are timely and informative

Pros

  • Block malicious or suspicious activity
  • Isolate computers, while still maintaining administrative access to troubleshoot
  • Alerting of activities and interceding on our behalf when warranted to isolate or remediate

Cons

  • Since we have CrowdStrike installed on all endpoints, and they are already capturing data, i wish the SIEM component was included, but It's a different service

Likelihood to Recommend

CrowdStrike is the gold standard in the endpoint security space. Even after the issue they experienced last year, no one that I speak to had indicated a desire to move aware from them. They provide a very high level of protection and their customer service department is very responsible and knowledgeable

CrowdStrike delivers Is the next level of protection.

Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CrowdStrike for XDR and Identity protection. We have a very distributed team; for us, it is very important to keep our assets protected, and to maintain a healthy AD, we rely on identity protection. We love the ease of use and the valuable insights and dashboards we receive from CrowdStrike. We compared it against other vendors, and the most complete was CrowdStrike. It features numerous third-party integrations for logs, elevating our SOC to the next level.

Pros

  • Endpoint protection.
  • Next Gen Siem.
  • Identity Protection.
  • CNAP

Cons

  • Offline protection.

Likelihood to Recommend

Falcon boasts numerous exciting features. In our case, we like that it has a lot of Intelligence, which allows us to detect different attack vectors and respond to them in a very timely fashion. Having the NGSiem, it will enable us to cross data, act on different alerts, and analyze them with a vast amount of data.

Realtime threat detection tool

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Falcon captures and analyzes endpoint data in real time to identify suspicious activity, anomalies, and potential breaches. The Falcon platform gives precise information about detected threats and helps incident response teams investigate and mitigate security breaches.

Pros

  • Incident response and investigation tool
  • Real time monitoring and threat analytics, which comes with threat hunting is part of the platform
  • Comprehensive visibility across the platform

Cons

  • They are providing currently 10gb ingest data flow, which is very less for the enterprise customers.
  • UI was very old and dashbaord looks little older versions
  • legacy systems won't protect the edr functions and systesm resources was little high.

Likelihood to Recommend

The technology enables near-instantaneous threat detection and automated response, which is critical for mitigating damage from attacks.

beyond the F1 sponsor, it's best in breed EDR

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

needed a new EDR as the current on was best at the time and there are way better for the same or better price point. Since our contract was up and the features that was present in the current EDR was outdated and not the best out there. We took a step back and had a look at what was on the market and came down to CrowdStrike as a short list candidate

Pros

  • better intrusion detection of external devices
  • better dash board
  • provides suggested best practices for people to follow

Cons

  • the granularity of role permissions

Likelihood to Recommend

not the cheapest solution but the cost saving for that extra bit of knowhow that fills the gap between our old EDR and CrowdStrike is well worth the money. we modern protection is the current cost of doing business and will hopefully pay off in the extra layer of protection.

Strengthening cyber defenses with CrowdStrike Falcon

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We deployed CrowdStrike Falcon across our organization to strengthen our cyber defenses. The use cases ranged from endpoint protection to threat intelligence, covering a broad spectrum of security needs. The deployment was organization-wide, safeguarding endpoints and critical systems against evolving cyber threats. The reduction in manual tasks and real-time updates contribute to time savings for our security team.

Pros

  • CrowdStrike Falcon's next-gen endpoint protection consistently outperforms traditional solutions.
  • The cloud-native architecture ensures seamless scalability and real-time updates, eliminating the need for manual interventions.
  • CrowdStrike Falcon's threat intelligence and hunting capabilities are unparalleled.

Cons

  • The advanced features may pose a learning curve for users unfamiliar with modern cybersecurity tools.
  • A more transparent pricing model could assist in budget planning.
  • Expanding compatibility with a broader range of security solutions would be advantageous.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would highly recommend CrowdStrike Falcon to any organization serious about bolstering its cybersecurity defenses. The platform's effectiveness in threat detection, proactive mitigation, and scalability make it a valuable asset in today's ever-evolving threat landscape. Despite some learning curves and integration challenges, the return on investment and the overall security enhancement justify its strong recommendation.

Crowdstrike at its best, with small gaps.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Crowdstrike to protect the company's servers and keep them safe from as many threats as possible.

Pros

  • Known malware detection.
  • Software detection with malicious behavior.
  • Identification of processes with anomalous behavior.

Cons

  • User management in cases where the service is provided as an MSP.
  • Clarity in console menus.
  • Integration with third-party EPP.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is suitable for large companies with complex organizational structures that are managed by the company's own staff or by Crowdstrike. It is less suitable for small companies due to its high initial costs, especially if it is offered as a service from an MSP, since the management of MSP users is complicated and, in some cases, it cannot even be a real vision of the users that can manage each company.

Very useful and easy to use security tool

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CrowdStrike Falcon as our Security Solution for the Clients an the Server. Also we do vulnerability management with CrowdStrike Falcon. We also use the Identy Modul to secure oour Active Directory Accounts. We also use the multi factor autorisation of CrowdStrike Falcon. In the Future we plan to use CrowdStrike Falcon in our cloud envirements.

Pros

  • prevention
  • vulnerability management
  • sensor is very small

Cons

  • Client tray
  • On demand Scans

Likelihood to Recommend

The deployment is very easy and very fast. You don't need an enviremont in your own data center. It is easy to use and you have a good on demand online traning. You can't see the status on the client easy. There would be a tray or somethimg like this very good.
