I rate CrowdStrike support 8 out of 10. We've had a good experience with them. They're helpful and always respond quickly.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've worked with Microsoft Defender. I'm more familiar with that.
How was the initial setup?
I don't have hands-on experience with the deployment. My team deployed it. The deployment time varies, and we do it in batches. It involves many tasks, and it can take weeks. After deployment, it requires regular patching.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You can't get a fixed price for these tools. If you subscribe to something and need to deploy it to another team, the price goes up. It's the same with Microsoft Defender.

Boasts a wide range of features while remaining exceptionally lightweight and improves our security posture
What is our primary use case?
We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for our client's endpoint security in the manufacturing, banking, and IT industries.
How has it helped my organization?
CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has helped improve our security operations. When facing signatureless attacks, CrowdStrike's EDR solution, which also incorporates SOAR capabilities, can prevent attacks in real-time. The SOAR engine detects malicious activity and suspicious file or transaction behavior on the network. Based on this detection, CrowdStrike proactively prevents these attacks. Additionally, features like Spotlight, a valuable tool for vulnerability management, provide remediation actions. Spotlight identifies the specific patches or knowledge base (KB) articles needed to mitigate these types of attacks.
To experience the full value of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, we recommend deploying the Falcon Agent on at least 500 systems and monitoring their activity for 15 days to a month. This deployment will provide comprehensive visibility into whether CrowdStrike can detect suspicious activity that might be missed by other third-party antivirus solutions and firewalls.
What is most valuable?
The CrowdStrike platform boasts a wide range of features while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Compared to traditional antivirus software, its impact on system resources is minimal. In terms of specific figures, CPU utilization typically ranges from one to two percent, while memory usage falls between 12 and 15 MB. This translates to a very small footprint on our system.
CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems. It provides protection based on processes and activity behavior observed on the endpoint. The platform collects raw telemetry data from the endpoint and leverages it to proactively offer prevention and EDR capabilities. This approach offers multiple benefits, including eliminating the need for manual scans and providing broader protection against both known and unknown threats.
What needs improvement?
Due to the time zone difference, we in India experience delays in accessing immediate support for L2 and production-related issues until engineers become available in their respective time zones.
The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field. This creates a gap for customers who manage multiple systems under a single username, making it difficult to identify individual systems based on username alone. Adding a dedicated username column to the dashboard would greatly improve its functionality in this regard.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten. We have not received any complaints from our multiple customers related to stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
While there may be delays due to time zones, the technical support itself is good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In collaboration with a security partner, we work with several other OEMs, including Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment is straightforward.
We utilize several third-party deployment tools for our installations, including Microsoft GPO, SCCM, and solutions offered by other market OEMs. These tools allow us to deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon Agent across all endpoints. Before deployment, we confirm the absence of any existing antivirus software. If the customer is already employing legacy antivirus solutions, we typically configure Falcon prevention policies to operate in "monitor mode." This means Falcon will monitor for threats without actively interfering with the existing antivirus. We refrain from uninstalling the legacy software until it becomes necessary. Once uninstalled, the Falcon prevention mode is switched to "aggressive mode," enabling it to function as the primary antivirus on the endpoint. This approach ensures a smooth transition while safeguarding endpoint security.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.
CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is deployed in multiple locations and departments.
No maintenance is required.
CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers flexible integration with various third-party security products, including SIEM and proxy solutions.
