Effortless Protection with User-Friendly Interface
What do you like best about the product?
Crowdstrike falcon is a multi feature edr platform that replaces traditional antivirus platforms using a single light weight agent. Its menu navigation is very user friendly and clear. The agent in a single file installation and implementation which can be performed within 30 minutes or less. The EDR module protects the workstations within the end users day to day functions and can be further used freqently for scanning stand alone devices such usb drives, pen drives, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is towards the high end even for corporates compaied to most top tier edr products and the behavioral AI tends to cause false positives at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Agent stops invisible attacks where the attackers use fileless malware, stolen credentials and powershell commands that dont leave fingerprints. The behavioral indicators of attack is used by Crowdstrike for isolating zero day attcks where threat has not been seen as yet and further most other competitive edr platform suites are notoriously heavy on processing power, ram usage, disk usage and other resource consumption the falcon uses an all-in-one single light weight agent which is under 50MB on the workstation agent and the rest of the processing done on cloud. This is a huge plus for corporates where it does not take additional capex for upgrading workstations for runnning the agent.
A must to have EDR solution in the Infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
CrowdStrike Falcon have user friendly dashboard, have a stable agent, gives less false positives, provides detailed analysis of the incident and it is very feasible to integrate with other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't see something to dislike other than the bizarre incident that happened last year. Other than that cost is a factor to dislike, but it is worth the money I would say.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the traditional antivirus going obsolete, EDR solution is what is replacing those and with CrowdStrike threat analysis feature, it is giving very much detailed analysis for any threats, proactive alerts and ultimately creating a safe and secure infrastructure.

Effortless Security with Real-Time Protection and Clear Insights
What do you like best about the product?
I like how CrowdStrike Falcon is easy to use and works in the background without slowing down the system. It provides real-time protection against various types of cyber threats, and the cloud-based setup makes it simple to manage. The platform also gives clear reports and insights, helping to quickly spot and fix security issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
While CrowdStrike Falcon is effective, it can sometimes generate false positives, which may require extra time to review and resolve. Additionally, the pricing can be on the higher side, especially for smaller businesses or those with many endpoints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CrowdStrike Falcon solves the problem of protecting endpoints from a wide range of cyber threats, such as malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. It helps by providing real-time threat detection and automatic responses, reducing the risk of a security breach. This benefits me by ensuring that our systems stay secure without manual intervention, saving time and reducing the workload on the security team.
Highly Secure with Room for Interface Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform because it is highly secure, which gives me confidence that my endpoints are well protected against cyber threats. The ease of implementation is another aspect I appreciate, making the setup process straightforward once I understood the necessary steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the management interface of the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform to be less user-friendly than I would like. It could benefit from improved intuitiveness and ease of use. Furthermore, the metrics that CrowdStrike provides are somewhat cumbersome when it comes to setting up direct alerts. This complexity can hinder timely responses to potential threats, impacting overall user experience. It feels like there is room for enhancing the overall user experience to make it more straightforward and efficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform to secure my endpoints from cyber threats and unauthorized access.
Lightweight, Accurate, But Challenging Query Language
What do you like best about the product?
CrowdStrike Falcon has been one of the most dependable EDR platforms I’ve used. The agent is extremely lightweight, which makes a big difference in keeping system performance smooth. Its detection accuracy is consistently strong and really helps us stay ahead of threats. The asset discovery feature is one of my favorites—it gives us clear visibility into what’s actually running in our environment and makes managing assets much easier. The built-in vulnerability assessment is also very reliable and helps us quickly identify and prioritize issues. Overall, the platform’s defensive capabilities and real-time protection give us a strong sense of confidence in our media security.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest challenge for me has been CrowdStrike’s query language. Coming from Splunk, which is more intuitive and easier to work with, the transition feels unnecessarily difficult. Having to juggle different syntaxes—CrowdStrike, Splunk, SIEM tools, Defender—slows things down and interrupts the workflow when I’m trying to run quick searches or investigations. Better documentation or easier mapping to familiar query formats would help a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CrowdStrike gives us a strong, lightweight, and effective layer of endpoint protection. It improves our visibility, strengthens our defenses, and helps us detect and respond to threats much faster. It also makes vulnerability management more efficient, which is a big plus for maintaining a secure media environment.

Lightweight, Powerful Security with Seamless Cloud Integration
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is how Falcon balances power and simplicity. Many endpoint solutions are either too heavy or too fragmented. Falcon’s single-agent, cloud-native approach solves both problems: it’s lightweight for users yet comprehensive for security teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
CrowdStrike Falcon is widely praised for its powerful detection and lightweight agent, but what people dislike most are the high costs, cloud dependency, and occasional complexity in management and reporting. These drawbacks don’t negate its strengths, but they do highlight areas where organizations need to weigh trade-offs before adoption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Falcon solves the visibility, speed, and complexity problems of endpoint security, and the benefit is a safer, more efficient, and less disruptive IT environment
Lightweight Agent, Robust Security Insight
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how lightweight the agent of CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform is; it's so unobtrusive that I barely notice it's running on my machines. Over the past three years, I haven't experienced any cybersecurity issues, which speaks volumes about the platform's effectiveness. Additionally, I find the platform’s use of sensor-based technology with Charlotte AI particularly impressive, as it aligns well with our strategic vision and roadmap. We are even considering adding more modules, like Identity and Access Management (IDAM), during upcoming renewals due to our positive experience so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the real-time monitoring through the command-line interface to be a bit challenging and not as user-friendly as expected. The firewall functionality within CrowdStrike Falcon sometimes does not work as expected, which can be frustrating. I am also disappointed with the delayed response from customer support when I raise tickets. The initial setup and deployment were quite tough, especially managing the deployment manually on 3000 assets without an Active Directory push. This manual process, including setting group tags and tagging against each location, was very time-consuming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find the product protects our assets from malicious attacks and provides machine insights while being lightweight and efficient with no cybersecurity issues encountered in three years.
