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?

Review Source

CrowdStrike Falcon Mobile Threat Defense delivers robust, real-time protection for enterprise mobile devices with seamless integration and simple management-with room for growth in reporting flexibility.

CrowdStrike Falcon Mobile Threat Defense has been a solid addition to our overall endpoint security, offering strong mobile coverage without adding complexity. The deployment process was fast and agent performance onIos and Andriod devices was lightweight, with excellent battery optimization and minimal user disruption. What worked particularly wwell is its real-time mobile threat detection-identifying malicious apps, phishing links, and network-level attacks almost instantly. Integration with Microsoft Intune makes device policy enforcement seamless, improving mobile compliance posture across the organization. The Falcon console offers unified visibility across mobile and traditional endpoints, which simplifies security management and incident triage. However, areas for improvement include report customization, alert tuning for less severe risks, and occasional delays in synchronization with third-party MDMs. Overall, it's effective for managing mobile threats in enterprise-scale deployments, balancing usability with advanced AI-driven protection.
