CrowdStrike Falcon Likes & Dislikes
I like how the product is not just signature based. It uses artificial intelligence to detect new threat and anomalies. Since it is constantly learning, Crowdstrike Falcon is able to respond to emerging threats quite quickly. I also like how Falcon will immediately isolate an infected client. With its network connectivity disabled, the infection cannot spread across the network and impact other clients. As mentioned above, support for this product has been stellar. Our organization has had to contact support a few times in order to address a technical issue. We have found support to be very knowledgeable about this product and is able to resolve our issues quickly.
The platform provides immediate alerts and rapid identification of threats, helping our team response quickly. Cloud base management allows us easy access from anywhere this will reduces the need for us to be on-premis. And least detailed security analytics give deep insights into threats patterns.
USB/Device control is very reliable. If something is blocked, it really is blocked. Another thing to note is that the policies update really fast. Changes apply to the endpoints much faster than I anticipated earlier. Visibility into the devices and information is great as well.
Crowdstrike Falcon is not the cheapest endpoint protection software on the market. Small and medium sized businesses may find the product to be cost prohibitive, especially if they are looking to purchase some of the advanced features of the product. Falcon also tends to use quite a lot of system resources on the endpoint clients, which can result in slow performance of the client. Businesses may need to increase the CPU or memory of the endpoints in order to address performance issues. I personally do not like that Falcon is a cloud only solution. If it does not have connectivity to the cloud, Falcon can experience a disruption in protection or a degradation in service.
We notice first that sometimes legitimate files or process are flagged as threats, which can disrupt workflows and required manual review to whitelist safe items. We where hopping this would solve it for use so we spend less time. Secondly, the agent can consume significant CPU and memory on older machine leading to slower performance and impacting user productivity. The incident that happed few months ago world wide that create a blue screen, cost. Should not be happed that's why they need to check careful planning they update beter.
- Over blocking legitimate devices: Sometimes even approved devices get flagged because they have a slightly different internal ID after a firmware update. So, a known good USB suddenly becomes blocked the next morning. - Policies can conflict quietly: If you have layered policies, sometimes the higher-level policy silently overrides the lower one. No error, no alert, it just doesn't follow the rule you expected.

Artificial Intelligence Enhances Threat Detection Yet Cost May Challenge Smaller Firms
Crowdstrike Falcon is a robust piece of software that is used in my organization as our primary means of defending against malware and ransomware. It has been quite adept at detecting and blocking malicious files and programs from running on endpoint PCs and traveling across the corporate network. The onboarding team was great in the initial setup and roll-out of the application. They took the time to answer all of our questions and walk us through the entire process. The support after the initial roll out has been great as well. - AI ENGINEER50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Device Control Provides Effective Security But May Block Legitimate Devices Unexpectedly
CrowdStrike Falcon Device Control has been solid overall. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Controlling external devices, blocking unwanted USBs and keeping endpoints safer without me having to micromanage every laptop. The only real challenges I ran into were more on the day to day practicality side rather than major technical failures. It's a strong product, but like any strict device control solution, it takes a bit of fine tuning to avoid locking down the wrong things. - SECURITY ENGINEER1B-10B USDSoftwareReview Source
Falcon Device Control: Monitor your organization's USB activity like a pro.
The device control feature from Crowdstrike Falcon in my opinion is an important feature and a great addition to the Endpoint Security. In our organization we discourage usage of removable devices like USB or External HDD without IT approval. However, it is hard to keep everyone compliant. The device control feature helps us track the kinds of files present in the USB drive, block certain kinds of USB devices, and block execution of EXE files directly on the Endpoint. I would have given it full if the UI wasn't clunky and slow. The integration of the removable device data to the SIEM is something we like a lot and it helped us create some custom alerts. - SECURITY CONTROL ASSESSOR II50M-1B USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Zero-Trust Enforcement Effective, Deployment Requires Alignment With Compliance Needs
The Device Control module has been a strong contributor to endpoint risk mitigation. Leveraging the cloud-native Falcon architecture, the sensor is lightweight and integrates with the central console. From a technical perspective, the solution provided good visibility into device connection events and enforced policies consistent with our zero-trust posture. The rollout required careful planning and ongoing tuning to align with our compliance and operational needs. - Security Analyst50M-1B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
Seamless Endpoint Protection and Visibility Offset by Cloud Dependency and Expense
CrowdStrike Falcon has signficantly enhanced the security posture of our organization. The seamless workflows, the automation, additional security protections have given our organization a sanity check on the unknown that commonly plagues SOC teams.
