From a security perspective, it has significantly improved our ability to detect threats in real-time and respond quickly before they affect multiple systems.

Before CrowdStrike Falcon, there were 40 to 50 alerts per day with many antivirus detections and time wasted validating non-issues, but after installing the CrowdStrike Falcon agent on the endpoint, there are now 10 to 15 meaningful alerts that we can work on and isolate the system, with a 60 to 70 percent reduction in false positives and investigation time reduced from three to four hours to one to two hours, and per user from 10 to 15 minutes to around five minutes.

CrowdStrike Falcon helps with endpoint protection by having very low memory utilization and processor usage, so it doesn't impact the computer system performance, and the computer system works very fast compared to all other endpoint protection solutions.

While CrowdStrike Falcon is strong overall, there are a few areas where it could be improved. First, the user interface can be a bit complex for new users.

Regarding improvements in reports, when I try to pull a custom report, there are some mismatches, or it does not look professional.

I don't think anything is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon, but if they can manage their SOC solution instead of users or the end users or customers doing that, it will be very useful, just as Sophos does.

During these two years with CrowdStrike Falcon, I certainly faced some problems, including the known CrowdStrike outage, which was quite pinching and brought many of the Windows-related services to a halt just because of one bad configuration push from CrowdStrike tracks.

I believe nothing can be done to make CrowdStrike Falcon a ten out of ten, as I think it's one of the best solutions in the market. However, rating it a ten overall would imply there's no scope for improvement, but to survive in the market, changes must be made every day.

As for stability, I would rate it around eight because last year they faced some downtime with around eight thousand computers, but it will improve.

I recommend that some deep-dive trainings are required for the NG SIEM, specifically for their next-generation SIEM module, as they need some basic trainings for that.

Currently, I do not see any tangible benefits from CrowdStrike regarding incident improvement time, response time, or cost saving.
