Falcon Reviews

They do all of the work for us, makes us feel safe and secure at all times.

The only con was the recent downtime they caused due to a rogue update. However, they had it fixed within an hour and provided workarounds that got us quickly back up and running.

It does not require any other agent on the client. You can start to use it on current agents on the clients.

The software update policy was a bit uncontrolled.

Powerful Threat Detection and Prevention, Cloud Native Architecture, Lightweight Agent, Centralized Management, Threat Intelligence etc.

Pricing, Complexity, Limited Reporting, Vendor Locking Policy

Falcon is easy to use and easy to implement. It delivers the best containment and alerting rate in the market and gives good visibility from IT, IOT and Cloud.

Falcon comes in at a steep budget point.

One of the best EDR solution in market. I really like the interface of the platform, it is so much user friendly. False positives are very less compared to the previous endpoint security solutions we have used. A light weight agent makes it a very stable product.

Not much to say about dislike part but I can say it is costly compared to it peers and I feel the reporting feature can be better.

Best alerts, Easy to check processes running, Best Live Control on computers.

The new design is a little bit off, and the MAC support is not the best currently.

Crowdstrike is the next level security for cyber protection offering the best protection and innovative software.

Crowdstrike is hard to navigate at first, but with more use it becomes easier.

Knowing that our assets are secured and protected by highly skilled security staff 24/7 and that it is go to product for security makes me and the firm feel secure.

Would like it to be cheaper, but the Anti Virus market is different now compared to 10 years ago and you get what you pay for.

It is next generation end point protection

I would prefer a non-cloud based option as that requires and Internet connection.

The app is incredibaly lightweight compared to other competitors like Sophos, which caused one of our webservers grind to a halt. The intergration with Slack is quite useful at pinging the team immediatley when we have high level security issues.

The learning curve of dianosing issues is a bit more steep, and the support team insists on running a extensive windows memory logging before they will talk to you.

Perfect choice for any organization who needs an endpoint detection and response EDR solution.Reliable End point Solution to stop modern day threat and Ransomware attacks. The solution offers comprehensive threat detection, prevention, and response capabilities. The solution can be enabled to protect all types of environments like on-prem. Cloud or hybrid models.

Reporting is having limited functionalities and needs fine-tuning.

We transitioned to Crowdstrike from a traditional endpoint protection solution and the difference was night and day. Crowdstrike Falcon is easy to use and manage, intuitive, incredibly powerful and intelligent, uses a bare minimum of system resources, has a very effective uninstall protection, and is very easy to deploy.

No cons. I highly recommend this product.

The standout feature of Falcon is its integration with complete falcon platform natively. This integration brings together vulnerability detection, prevention and response capabilities into a cohesive framework of managing the threats.

There may be few challenges that engineers could potentially encounter when using this solution, Falcon may require a certain level of expertise on managing the Vulnerabilities especially dealing with the payloads and also while dealing with the false positives that happens to consume time and resources while validating an alert.

I appreciate how easily the network is monitored, including both incoming and outgoing traffic.

Although network monitoring is simple, there is still room for improvement in terms of the graph user interface.

It detects a lot of threats and his easy to manage

I didn’t find any cons for this product, really…

Have used this product for several years across multiple organizations. Have seen good return on investment containing malware outbreaks

Not too many. Slightly on the expensive side for licenses

ease of deployment, less false positives and amazing GUI.

This product is bt expensive and they work on their customer service.

This tool gave us unparalleled visibility into our environment that we did not have with an old school antivirus agent.

That the initial install on some systems did not go as planned.

The support team is very responsive and helps guide us through any issues we have. They also help clear up what is a rather complex, information filled portal.

There is a ton of information that can be overwhelming if you are not well versed in security. Fortunately the support teams guide you through any confusion you may have.

Very light solution to run on the computers, it is just a client that alerts the portal about the virus on computers and take some actions based on what were configured inside the portal. Easy to install/deploy, not so many options to choose, it is very straight to the point, also the options and configurations inside management portal are pretty easy to use. However, it updates automatically on the computers and servers.

Sometimes it is not update automatically, and I had some problems to remove the software, the key that is used to install/remove fails sometimes. I can mention that the computers take some time to appear inside the management portal, and you do not know if it is working properly or not. Another thing that you can miss, you cannot run a scan on your computer manually, to find viruses or other malicious files, it is supposed to be monitored all the time through the portal.

Crowdtsrike falcon agent is very lightweight and has lower resource utilization in endpoints. Further it supports all the endpoint operating Systems. Interfaces are simple and even non-technical people can understand. Dashboards are informative and graphical representation is perfect with breakdown approach. It provides remote control of the endpoint through the command line and one of the most needed options which most other Anti viruses don't have. It has threat intelligence with correlation and can map endpoints with an incident to provide the big picture.

Crowdstrike falcon sensor update is frequent and bandwidth utilization is a bit high since each and every node needs updates. When you are in a limited bandwidth with a higher number of PC’s this will cause too high bandwidth utilization and can interrupt your operation. When you. Connecting through proxy server machine detection is taking long.time Crowdstrike doesn’t support Windows XP. So if you have windows XP PCs in your environment you need some other antivirus to protect them.

Crowdstrike handles endpoint security monitoring and detection better than any solution available.

The rate at which they add partner integrations

Good interface, lots of Splunk dashboards integrated in the dashboards. Good drilldown capability. Love the process execution tracking functionality

The interface took a couple hours (tops) to get used to, but it wasn't bad. There was a little snag with Mac OS X Catalina, but that's been resolved.

Crowdstrike is a modern endpoint protection software. Instead of guarding against a known set of viruses, it detects malicious behavior as well as protecting endpoints from known viruses, ransomware and malware. The admin console is logically and thorough.

Support for Mac and endpoints in steady state environments needs more development. There are some unknowns about duplication of endpoint entries in the console for Macintosh clients.

It's really easy and fast to install the Falcon Sensor in the protected hosts. Its resource consumption is barely noticeable -this was the very specific problem we had with our traditional AV security which motivated us to look into new generation technologies. Whenever we have some malware detected, we have all the information we need about how it got into the host and what it attempted to do -whether processes were spawned, files or registry attempted to be seen or modified, if it tried to establish network connections, etc.- so our IT, servers and security teams have all the information they need to improve the systems hardening.

Falcon provides only the antivirus / antimalware capabilites, so all the other functions we had with the previous technology are not available, like firewall, IPS, DLP, mail filtering, web filtering, etc. So, in the end we kept the McAfee agent to retain some of them, which means we are spending a little more on technology, but it gets balanced because less work is needed for malware diagnose.
