Has great threat intelligence, integrates well, and scales to our needs
Pros and Cons
  • "The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature."
  • "The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."

What is our primary use case?

We use CrowdStrike Falcon as an XDR to replace our old antivirus solution.

We implemented CrowdStrike Falcon for better visibility into our environment and easy online access to the policies.

How has it helped my organization?

CrowdStrike Falcon's cybersecurity background allows for better integration with other tools.

What is most valuable?

The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature.

What needs improvement?

The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible. For example, I have a production environment connected to the PNC that runs Windows XP on computers that CrowdStrike Falcon does not support.

A very good solution useful for next-gen AV but tighter integration of XDR could be included
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup was straightforward."
  • "Tighter integration around XDR could be included."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use this solution for AV, next-gen AV, EDR or XDR.

What is most valuable?

I find most of the features to be very generic.

What needs improvement?

The solution is very good but tighter integration around XDR could be included. There are a lot of open integrations, but they are external factors that cause dependencies on the integrator, not really on CrowdStrike, so it's a bit of a challenge as there is no comprehensive solution. Additionally, the solution is dependent on Windows technical support.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable, but price and support are a bit of a challenge.

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

We previously used different solutions, and the primary differentiating factor was marketing.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

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

The price is high in comparison to similar brands.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. I advise new users first to understand their use case, its vulnerability and its importance.
