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?

    Endpoint Visibility and Behavioral Analytics Stand Out With CrowdStrike Falcon Deployment

    4.0
    Apr 15, 2026
    We have been using crowdstrike falcon in our environment for endpoint protection and threat detection. overall experience has been good. It gives strong visibility into endpoint activity and helps security teams investigate suspicious alerts quickly. Console is user friendly compared to many traditional tools. Detection quality is strong, especially for behavioral threats and suspicious executions. Remote response features are also useful during incidents. Sometimes initial tuning is requrired to reduce unwnated alerts, and pricing can be higher for some organizations. But overall it is a solid and reliable solution.
