Powerful and Feature-Rich, Yet Pricey
What do you like best about the product?
As marketed, complete protection from code to cloud, ideal for organizations of all sizes - highly efficient with minimal false positives. I found the interface to be very user-friendly and gives insightful data in any alert, which helps to investigate the incidents easily, and the ease of integration with AWS.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is feature-rich but you have to consider that pricing is a bit on the higher side (even more if you request a custom quote), I highly doubt if small orgs would be able to afford it while being suitable at the same time. Also, you might face a higher learning curve if you are not well-versed in similar security tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly threat detection & protection, Cloud Security with AWS, and Cloud Misconfigurations identifier
Its an integrated platform for securing cloud, real-time threat detection & AI-powered analysis.

we needed a tool to detect viruses/malwares/etc. this is what was recommended by our 3rd party HIPAA compliant vendor.
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
What is our primary use case?
I am working for an MSSP. We use CrowdStrike on a daily basis for different clients across the globe for security purposes and for monitoring and remediating threats.
We have installed agents on the machines of employees in different organizations. We monitor their activities and block several applications. For example, if an organization does not want its employees to use WhatsApp on company-provided laptops, we block such applications. We also monitor malicious activities. If an employee downloads a file from the internet that is not legitimate, such as a virus or malware, we connect to the machine, remove all the files, and run different scans to ensure nothing is harmed.
Additionally, we use it for inventory purposes. At the end of the year, for audit and compliance, I gather information about how many devices, servers, and workstations we have and what their types are.
What is most valuable?
It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities. We can prevent employees from copying data or attaching any personal USB devices to company machines, thus avoiding malware transfer or data theft. We can block USBs and unwanted applications. It automatically blocks and remediates malicious activities, so we do not have to do regular checks.
What needs improvement?
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results.
Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for more than three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable, but sometimes it shows instability. Occasionally, when the workload increases, it slows down considerably and sometimes becomes unresponsive. I would rate it a seven out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is quite scalable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability.
It is deployed across multiple departments and multiple locations. Some people are in one country, and some are in another country.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted customer service, and they are fast. I have had a good experience with them.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have some clients not using CrowdStrike due to cost or other factors. In our opinion, CrowdStrike is the best solution, which is why we recommend it to our clients. Almost 90% of our clients who receive our services use CrowdStrike. Its users include various organizations such as banking, financial, and other organizations.
Over the past three years, more than ten clients have purchased it. Some are using all of its features, and some are using fewer features depending on the budgets and requirements.
How was the initial setup?
It is straightforward, but sometimes, we have difficulties with installing the agents on some machines. It happens quickly, but sometimes it takes a few minutes. It depends on the infrastructure and the machine.
The deployment duration depends on the organization. If the organization is big, it takes a large amount of time. If it is a small one, it is real quick.
The implementation strategy is to use automated scripts that run on the cloud. This automatically reflects changes across thousands of machines.
It does not require any maintenance.
What about the implementation team?
We implement it ourselves.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Compared to other EDRs, CrowdStrike is expensive. However, the main point is that even though it is expensive, it provides a huge capability to the organization. It is expensive, but it adds value.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend it because it is the best one I have ever used. It has greatly helped me improve my investigative skills in my job. I have gained a lot of skills by using this product.
Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten.
Integrates with Defendify for added value
What do you like best about the product?
We benefit from CrowdStrike offering cloud workload protection alongside its real-time threat EDR. The deep visibility provided to our engineers helps compliment our integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor hiccups with false positives. No concers that this product is not doing its job and keeping agents secure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Catching and preventing threats in real time with AI machine learning, is a key benefit to mitigate potential threats quickly. The visibility into the cloud environments and very beneficial. Workflows and automation are also used in some cases to help the team remain viligent and reduce hands on security incidents.
Reliable protection with future user interface improvements
What is our primary use case?
We are using CrowdStrike Falcon for endpoint protection across the organization.
What needs improvement?
I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using it maybe since last year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable, and we already forgot—it just installed and forgot.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support is quite good. We can just WhatsApp the technical easily.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
This is our first time using CrowdStrike.
How was the initial setup?
It's easy to implement the product and we are already up and running in five minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is still manageable. I think it's about five or six thousand per year. No additional cost for maintenance or support; it's all included in the quotation.
What other advice do I have?
I don’t know if I need to recommend it. I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten.
