Helps users keep track of everything from one place
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that we can track all of it in one place across all those different locations. Because it's cloud-based and reports up to the cloud, we also have access to the back end, and an incident response team monitors all incidents. We also have an escalation process in place. From my perspective, there are other pieces of CrowdStrike that the security architect team uses as well, but I don't get involved with those as much. I usually just wait for the end results or the notification if I need to get involved if there is an incident.

A financial planning solution for healthcare that allows you to analyze information for future budgets
It's good because of the benefit it gives in relation to the cost. Other solutions are very expensive to deliver. The solution is a financial planning solution for healthcare, so it helps predict the budget for the next year. A lot of hospitals in Brazil are using Excel and manually calculating these things, so it provides a lot of benefit to clients. This solution is very complete. There are a lot of models for different areas, like oncology, neurology, etc. It shows you the different revenues and profits for each area and allows you to analyze the information in detail. It gives you a good picture of the situation and helps you make a business decision. If the customer has any problems before, during, or after implementation, Ernst & Young help to solve the problem.

Pros

"We found the initial setup to be quick and easy for the most part."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that we can track all of it in one place across all those different locations."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a zero-day approach. It does not work with the signature itself. It looks into what is happening on an endpoint and protects you better against threats that are not yet known but are captured in a signature. It provides far better detection than when it is only signature-based. You get much quicker protection against any new threat. This is the most important feature of the CrowdStrike solution."
"There are many different modules with this solution where vulnerability and inventory management can be carried out. The solution has a good dashboard and offers a lot of insights into your systems."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management."
"The threat response from this solution is very comprehensive. It not only allows us to detect the threat, but also to isolate it and check the recovery capability of the compromised system."
"The main valuable features are feasibility, ease of deployment, and that it's all based in the cloud. I like that it is gradually updated and that the detection rate is higher than that of other endpoint solutions. There are fewer loopholes."
"It is an endpoint protection product. It has a very good reporting engine and dashboard. It has a good set of endpoint controls. It provides an effective set of protections. When we throw malware and stuff like that at it, it is able to stop them."
"This solution is very complete. There are a lot of models for different areas, like oncology, neurology, etc. It shows you the different revenues and profits for each area and allows you to analyze the information in detail."
 

Cons

"Falcon could use more SIEM capabilities, like a central place to monitor all our clients."
"It would be better if they offered other language options. It's only in English, and in Latin America, we mostly speak Spanish."
"The solution is costlier compared to other solutions, which may be a concern for price-sensitive customers."
"I would like to see CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR integrate more effectively with other technologies."
"There can be an application for the mobile device for the administrator of the platform to have an overview. In less than two minutes, they should be able to see what is going on and take action."
"The simplicity of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's content control and firewall management should be improved."
"The downside is that if you are using a device offline, not connected to the internet, you will potentially have exposure."
"Falcon Complete's user interface isn't very user-friendly, especially for writing rules."
"The big challenge is when a company doesn't use SAP as ERP. If the company uses other kinds of systems to manage their information, it's a challenge because this product is integrated with SAP."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is one of the more expensive security protection solutions."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive for our region."

"The licensing cost for this solution is $5000 per license, with each machine requiring its own license."
