What Your Peers Are Saying About CrowdStrike Falcon

CISO
We are already using multiple modules of Crowdstrike Falcon. Have you used CS Falcon for IT in production and, if yes, what are your experiences?
Associate Director, Information Security Management
Yes, we are and have been for some time. On servers it’s a lightweight deployment: Fast and easy In almost all cases, no reboot required Low resource consumption on the local OS Low Network usage We also find it’s quite effective at the behavioural side of blocking attackers when they get hands-on-keyboards (vs. scripted/automated) attacks. It’s an effective heterogeneous solution applying and performing quite well across Linux, Windows and macOS. Not all EDR/XDR tools are effective heterogeneous solutions.

Director of IT
We are at the edge of closing a contract with Crowdstrike Falcon Complete, a MDR-solution including managed service for monitoring the security of our infrastructure 24/7. The functionality looked promising during a short pilot we organized. We are now in the contracting phase and discovered that we need to pay upfront for a three years contract. For a managed service I find this rather strange, while I am used to pay on a monthly, quarterly or sometimes yearly basis. Does someone in the peer group has the same experience with Crowdstrike?
Director of Enablement
I was always under the perception that Crowdstrike operated on a net-60 opex model. Are they asking for the TCV in a lump sum?

    There is a reason Crowdstrike is the leader in EDR. When they say "We stop breaches" it's not a gimmick. They have delivered on this promise time and again.

CrowdStrike Falcon Likes & Dislikes

Like

The amount of data about (all) events we are able to capture is an invaluable tool for investigations. The Falcon SOC service is top notch, and their support team is nearly always spot on with their analysis and recommendations. Their customer service and our account support team is also fantastic, and sets the bar very high, especially compared to some other vendors I have worked with. The user console is well designed and is easy to navigate, and their documentation is generally very clear and thorough, so most issues I'm able to troubleshoot without needing to escalate to technical support. The agent is very lightweight, and other than a few very specific high utilization environments, very rarely has caused any performance issues - rarely (legitimately) requiring vendor recommended exclusions. Their Identity module has also been a huge bonus in our environment.
