Effective alerts, excellent technical support, and many install options
Pros and Cons
  • "If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive."
  • "The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately."

What is our primary use case?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is used to inform the IT or security analyst if there is something happening inside the endpoint. Additionally, the EDR can take an action by itself if there is something abnormal happening inside the endpoint.

What is most valuable?

If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive. It will give an alert that is very useful and it takes action automatically. There at times needs to be some manual intervention but it is less often.

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately one year.

Scalable, useful artificial intelligence and remote execution tools
Pros and Cons
  • "The features I have found valuable are artificial intelligence, which protects us against malicious forces of any kind, and device control through the remote execution tool."
  • "The training provided could be better. There is a need to have more training to allow us to fine-tune our settings. Not that training is not comprehensive; they do provide training in hotels where we can go and see videos and other helpful information. However, they should be providing hands-on experience to the system administrators because this would be more useful. The training is normally for corporations and should be available for personal users as well."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution for endpoint protection.

What is most valuable?

The features I have found valuable are artificial intelligence, which protects us against malicious forces of any kind, and device control through the remote execution tool.

What needs improvement?

The training provided could be better. There is a need to have more training to allow us to fine-tune our settings. Not that training is not comprehensive; they do provide training in hotels where we can go and see videos and other helpful information. However, they should be providing hands-on experience to the system administrators because this would be more useful. The training is normally for corporations and should be available for personal users as well.

In the next release, there should be an IT help desk remote controller so that we do not need to go to a separate IT help desk. If there are any issues from the end-users, they should not need to use another tool to connect to the system, desktop, or anything else. If they would be able to facilitate this it would be easier for our engineers to raise a ticket and have the SLAs to support them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately two years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution has been scalable in our experience.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is straightforward. My engineers were trained by the partners on how to install the solution in all the areas, for example, the sensors. We did require the initial guidance but if you have prior experience with any other solutions, I do not think people should require special training or instruction. It is a simple and lightweight tool.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.

We use virtually every module within the solution, including identity protection. It boasts its own robust EDR capabilities, essentially positioning it as the top EDR solution in the market.

What is most valuable?

The prevention capabilities hold the utmost value.

What needs improvement?

The only aspect where we've offered feedback for potential enhancement is essentially the user experience.

The return on investment has been significant, aiding us in various simulated assessments and playing a crucial role in both detecting and preventing incidents early on. Moreover, it has proven beneficial for overall asset management.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings.

Real-time response features, in-depth data collection, and top level stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The real-time response features are valuable for us."
  • "The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for AB protection and endpoint detection and response.

What is most valuable?

The real-time response features are valuable for us.  The depth of data that the agent collects is all very helpful, and on a forensic standpoint as well.

What needs improvement?

The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful. It took us a lot of time to work through their API on how to do it programmatically. Aside from that, we really have not had very much trouble with Crowdstrike.

For an upcoming feature, adding more Linux support for real time response analytics would be helpful. This might be on their roadmap, or maybe even in a very pending release. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for approximately four months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Comparing the stability of the solution to other similar products it is at the top.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability was good.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support has been good the entire time. We had the one issue with the APIs but we already dealt with that. The technical support has been good on all of our issues.

How was the initial setup?

The setup is simple and the deployment is straightforward for the agents.

What other advice do I have?

I did not give the solution a ten out of ten because there is always room for improvement.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten.

Good intelligence, outstanding security whitepapers, excellent support, and does what it is supposed to do
Pros and Cons
  • "Their intelligence is really good. The security whitepapers that they write are outstanding. They handle it all for the clients. CrowdStrike Complete is managed by CrowdStrike. They only call a client if there is a problem that they can't address. They pretty much contain and eradicate. This is not something that every vendor provides."
  • "People should be able to obtain training at any point of the engagement so that if somebody who doesn't have the basic knowledge is getting thrown into it, they are able to get trained, and CrowdStrike is able to help them out. CrowdStrike is really doing what they're supposed to be doing, but it is like anything else where they have to keep up on their research and development, or they'll fall behind. This is a fast-paced environment, and I've seen that vendors that were really good three years ago are terrible now. CrowdStrike is trying to stay ahead of the bad guys. They have AI. I have not had a problem with them missing anything. If they missed something, they should just make sure that they don't miss it again and understand why they missed it. I don't know if they did."

What is our primary use case?

Our clients use it for protecting themselves from getting ransomware. Their use case is just to protect their endpoints because it is really bad out there.

It is a hybrid deployment. You have to have agents on all the endpoints, and all the CrowdStrike AI is on the cloud.

What is most valuable?

Their intelligence is really good. The security whitepapers that they write are outstanding.

They handle it all for the clients. CrowdStrike Complete is managed by CrowdStrike. They only call a client if there is a problem that they can't address. They pretty much contain and eradicate. This is not something that every vendor provides.

I have not had a problem with them missing anything. If they missed something, they should just make sure that they don't miss it again and understand why they missed it. I don't know if they did.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy. All you need to do is to get the correct pricing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license. When you do mergers and acquisitions, it is always a concern. If you've got really good security products in one company but not in the other one, you have to bring them in.

Most of our clients are medium-sized companies. We also have large clients, but they have got full security staff. CrowdStrike does well in medium-sized companies because they need them really badly. With CrowdStrike Complete, they don't have to have the staff to manage it.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have interacted with them, and they are excellent.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our clients had other solutions, and they switched because they got ransomware. A lot of solutions aren't always what they say they are. Some are good, but people don't have the staff to manage them. With CrowdStrike Complete, you don't have to have the staff to manage it.

How was the initial setup?

Its initial setup is very straightforward. The agents are really easy to roll out. 

I always tell my clients that it is a partnership. You have to do health checks with them to make sure that you're doing what you should be doing and they're doing what they're supposed to be doing.  Sometimes, clients put products in place, and they leave them. Then they find out that they didn't set them right, and now they're a victim of a ransomware attack that they could have avoided. They had the right security product in place. 

CrowdStrike should be promoting these health checks with their clients, and they do, but I don't know if all salespeople do it. That is so important because sometimes it is not the vendor that caused the issue. It is the client, but they didn't know any better.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution. I would advise others to get the best pricing and doing it around the quarters. You should really understand the pricing structure and the fact that you still need somebody to be able to take their call if there is something they can't do. Do health checks, and make sure that it is implemented correctly and you have got all your endpoints covered. It is a partnership between the vendor and the customer, and CrowdStrike is really good at that.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a ten out of ten.

Good managed detection and response features, and easy to use, but the reporting needs to be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the Managed Detection and Response."
  • "All of our customers complain about the reporting and say that it is very poor."

What is our primary use case?

We are a solution provider and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is one of the products that we offer to our customers. We have several different customers for which we provide this software as a service. In other cases, customers purchase licenses for it through us and we administrate it.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the Managed Detection and Response.

What needs improvement?

All of our customers complain about the reporting and say that it is very poor.

Technical support in Latin America could be improved.

I would like to have a feature to collect logs and explore the information.

In the next release, I would like to have a simplified remote installation.

For how long have I used the solution?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is easy to scale this product. We have approximately 20,000 users.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support in Latin America is delayed. Many times, the customers ask for something from support but they speak Spanish, and that delays the response.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward and pretty easy to complete.

The implementation is fast.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The average price is approximately $500 per customer.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
