Has provided reliable alerts and helped identify infrastructure issues through detailed reporting
The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls. Additionally, they have the agent, but the presentation in the management console is excellent as we have observability end-to-end with the servers and all the services configured in the use cases. The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues. Identifying performance bottlenecks is important because they collect numerous MD5 or hash keys including movements or playbooks. The way they organize that in the console is excellent, allowing you to have reports detecting issues, which not only includes detection but also provides solutions to those issues.

A scalable SIEM solution for monitoring a user's activity in the file server
The most valuable features of the solution are its quick and simple features related to advanced permissions for files, allowing for what permission needs to be granted to the users when it comes to the monitoring folder in the solution. If someone who has been denied permission to use a particular folder tries to go to that folder, then the administrator gets a notification. In general, the administrator can easily gather and maintain records if a person who has been denied permission to a particular confidential folder tries to access it.

Pros

"The log aggregation and correlation of data are notable features that enhance our operations."
"The best features of CrowdStrike Observability include the way they show issues to the client or agent, and their data collection method is interesting because they use an agent-less approach in some cases, collecting data from infrastructure such as firewalls."
"The dashboard and user interface of CrowdStrike Observability are quite good, and the support is responsive."
"CrowdStrike Observability offers strong predictive analytics capabilities, and the intelligent alerting system helps minimize noise and optimize IT resources effectively."
"The intelligent alerting feature is excellent and configured on our console, being highly effective as it detects real alerts and just warnings or real issues."
"In the logs and the trajectory, it shows detailed information about where the source of infection comes from, how it travels, and how to reach there."
"The intelligence database provided by CrowdStrike is very impressive."
"CrowdStrike Observability is a signature-less solution where you don't need to update your endpoints or the CrowdStrike Observability agents regularly, and it is completely based on AI and ML search engines."
"FileAudit has helped our client to bring order to the day-to-day management of these folders, through the use of information triggers that inform department managers of both file obsolescence and changes made by employees."
"Alerting upon file changes is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"Our customer acquires the complete report which is kept for future auditing purposes."
"It is a good and stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The customer service is not satisfactory for me. The support is only available in English, and my users in LATAM regions such as Peru and Colombia require local language support, which is not currently provided."
"We had some difficulties at the beginning, but at this moment they are improving, so probably in some months I will give them a ten."
"The areas of CrowdStrike Observability that have room for improvement include the approach towards customer issues, where resolution takes time."
"For reporting or log management, having a longer duration for backup without needing to purchase a paid subscription would be beneficial. Currently, there is a default ninety-day backup period."
"Integration with Huawei should be more straightforward."
"From the different deployments I have worked with, the shortcomings of CrowdStrike Observability are often because of what clients are able to share with CrowdStrike."
"Technical support received a rating of 4 out of 10."
"The pricing is very high and small companies cannot afford it. They should reduce the price because the backend infrastructure is the same."
"The updates management and central management console could be improved."
"The DLP function, including installation of the agent on the workstation and controlling the DLP restrictions, are areas where the product lacks."
"Whenever someone cuts and paste, it shows as "file is deleted"."
