Performance of CrowdStrike Falcon Across Market Features

CrowdStrike Falcon Likes & Dislikes

1) I love how robust it is in all aspects - specifically the efficiency with which the platform collects, analyzes, and delivers the data in a readable format. 2) Being able to act quickly on data that is provided without asking questions. I know that the information is good, so I don't need to do further analysis and vet it myself. 3) Confidence that the product won't miss anything. I know this because Crowdstrike is so sensitive that it alerts me to legit Windows operational activities - this shows me that even the OS is treated as a potential threat.

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?
