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.
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.

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

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
