CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Reviews

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly. 

The tool's scalability is low. 

I have been working with the product for one year. 

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a four out of ten. My company has 2000 users. 

I haven't contacted support yet. 

I rate the tool's installation a seven out of ten. You need two resources to maintain it. 

I rate the overall solution a five out of ten. 

The solution is used for endpoint management and profiling. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers protection against security threats or attacks. 

The threat intelligence is the most vital feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. 

Certain endpoint management features, such as encryption and extensive file integrity monitoring, should be added to the solution. The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control. The functionality of DLP also needs to be enhanced. 

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for two years. 

The solution exhibits impressive stability. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

In our company, about 20 clients use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and the total number of end-users combining all clients exceeds 1000. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. 

Support is provided based on the service level availed from CrowdStrike. I would rate the basic tech support a six out of ten. An advanced service contract with the vendor includes more available support members for rapid response, I would rate the advanced support from the vendor an eight out of ten. 

Neutral

I have worked with Trend Micro, Symantec and McAfee. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a more enhanced and cost-effective solution than Trend Micro. 

The solution can be easily deployed. If numerous endpoints are involved in the deployment, automation tools like SCM can push the packages, which then start communicating with the servers. 

Our company offers security service management, therefore we manage the license renewals and facilitate the regular maintenance. One product manager from our company and a team of three professionals are needed to maintain CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. 

It's an expensive product. The solution costs around $60 for a single user on a yearly basis. I would rate the pricing a four out of ten. 

The solution's threat intelligence features enhance endpoint detection and security to a great extent. The aforementioned feature quickly detects new malware based on behavior with the assistance of an AI learning model. 

The solution acts as a single agent with multiple capabilities, but some features don't perform optimally, including DLP and file integrity monitoring, which aren't extensive enough. 

The product enhances endpoint security and management of global threats. The solution's AI module learns from behavior and it's able to detect behavior inconsistencies, facilitating rapid threat detection and mitigation. 

I would definitely recommend the product to other users. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is slightly more expensive than other competitor solutions. Every customer of our company can't afford CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, and there isn't always a need for its high-end features, so we recommend a different solution. I would rate the product a nine out of ten. I believe some features are still missing from the solution. 

We use Falcon as a cloud-based security platform.

Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so your CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some other solutions use between 30 to 60 percent. 

CrowdStrike has some of the best threat detection capabilities you can get. It's a market leader.

Customers would benefit if CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies.

I have used Falcon for two years.

I rate Crowdstrike 10 out of 10 for stability.

CrowdStrike Falcon is 100 percent scalable. I've had no issues.

I rate CrowdStrike support eight out of 10.

CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security eight out of 10. If you're looking for something more advanced than traditional antivirus, I recommend CrowdStrike. It's more adaptable and stable. Falcon is one of the best solutions on the market. 

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for our client's endpoint security in the manufacturing, banking, and IT industries.   

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has helped improve our security operations. When facing signatureless attacks, CrowdStrike's EDR solution, which also incorporates SOAR capabilities, can prevent attacks in real-time. The SOAR engine detects malicious activity and suspicious file or transaction behavior on the network. Based on this detection, CrowdStrike proactively prevents these attacks. Additionally, features like Spotlight, a valuable tool for vulnerability management, provide remediation actions. Spotlight identifies the specific patches or knowledge base (KB) articles needed to mitigate these types of attacks.

To experience the full value of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, we recommend deploying the Falcon Agent on at least 500 systems and monitoring their activity for 15 days to a month. This deployment will provide comprehensive visibility into whether CrowdStrike can detect suspicious activity that might be missed by other third-party antivirus solutions and firewalls.

The CrowdStrike platform boasts a wide range of features while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Compared to traditional antivirus software, its impact on system resources is minimal. In terms of specific figures, CPU utilization typically ranges from one to two percent, while memory usage falls between 12 and 15 MB. This translates to a very small footprint on our system.

CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems. It provides protection based on processes and activity behavior observed on the endpoint. The platform collects raw telemetry data from the endpoint and leverages it to proactively offer prevention and EDR capabilities. This approach offers multiple benefits, including eliminating the need for manual scans and providing broader protection against both known and unknown threats.

Due to the time zone difference, we in India experience delays in accessing immediate support for L2 and production-related issues until engineers become available in their respective time zones.

The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field. This creates a gap for customers who manage multiple systems under a single username, making it difficult to identify individual systems based on username alone. Adding a dedicated username column to the dashboard would greatly improve its functionality in this regard.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for five years.

I would rate the stability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten. We have not received any complaints from our multiple customers related to stability.

I would rate the scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.

While there may be delays due to time zones, the technical support itself is good.

Positive

In collaboration with a security partner, we work with several other OEMs, including Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro.

The initial deployment is straightforward.

We utilize several third-party deployment tools for our installations, including Microsoft GPO, SCCM, and solutions offered by other market OEMs. These tools allow us to deploy the CrowdStrike Falcon Agent across all endpoints. Before deployment, we confirm the absence of any existing antivirus software. If the customer is already employing legacy antivirus solutions, we typically configure Falcon prevention policies to operate in "monitor mode." This means Falcon will monitor for threats without actively interfering with the existing antivirus. We refrain from uninstalling the legacy software until it becomes necessary. Once uninstalled, the Falcon prevention mode is switched to "aggressive mode," enabling it to function as the primary antivirus on the endpoint. This approach ensures a smooth transition while safeguarding endpoint security.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security ten out of ten.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is deployed in multiple locations and departments.

No maintenance is required.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers flexible integration with various third-party security products, including SIEM and proxy solutions. This capability significantly enhances our organization's overall security posture by facilitating seamless integration with existing tools via its robust API functionality.

I am a cybersecurity analyst, responsible for conducting log and user activity analysis, managing and escalating support tickets, and overseeing performance monitoring, phishing analysis, and incident response for the company's systems. We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as our primary security tool.

We implemented CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as our EDR, to instantly mitigate any potential threats to our IT infrastructure.

Every month, CrowdStrike provides us with training on new features and how to use them effectively. This helps my team and me improve our security skills.

The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable.

We used an integrator for the implementation.

As EDR solutions represent organizations' last line of defense against intrusions, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been a worthwhile investment.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security a nine out of ten.

I recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as a robust and effective EDR solution. 

I use Falcon Cloud Security as our primary EDR solution, integrated with Splunk for alert management. While Falcon effectively mitigates many threats automatically, we leverage it for targeted threat hunting when we observe unusual patterns or a high occurrence of specific tactics. This allows us to ensure we are not being targeted and provides insights into potential threats to our environment.

Falcon Cloud Security has significantly improved our organization by providing detailed and clear insights into potential threats. Its precise visibility allows us to see everything entering and leaving our environment, enabling us to effectively mitigate attacks and respond to potential security incidents.

The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability. It ensures we stay ahead of potential threats by providing detailed insights and allowing us to investigate and address security concerns proactively.

One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal. While the documentation is comprehensive, I would like easier access to in-depth training and resources within the tool. Simplifying the portal for better navigation and learning would be beneficial.

I have been working with Falcon Cloud Security for a year.

The stability of the solution is a solid ten out of ten.

The scalability of the solution is excellent. I would rate it as a ten out of ten.

CrowdStrike's technical support is excellent. The team is highly knowledgeable and provides comprehensive assistance.

Before using CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, I have used SentinelOne. They have different philosophies – SentinelOne is more automatic and easier to use, like a Mac, while Falcon is more technical, allowing for deeper customization and insights, akin to a PC. Falcon's comprehensive and technical approach aligns well with our SOC's needs.

Deployment is generally straightforward, but like many tools, it takes time to fine-tune and achieve optimal configuration.

While I have heard that Falcon Cloud Security can be expensive, I believe the investment is justified for the peace of mind it provides.

My advice for someone considering CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is to do your homework and ask plenty of questions to fully understand the depth and capabilities of the tool. Overall, I would rate the solution as a nine out of ten.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security to manage our clients' cloud environments. It provides us with a unified view of all their cloud configurations, across different cloud providers. This allows us to identify security weaknesses, improve their overall security posture, and ultimately limit potential attacks on their systems.

Our CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security deployments vary, with some clients utilizing hybrid models, but the majority leverage private clouds hosted on AWS and Azure.

The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are Cloud Security Posture Management and Cloud Workload Protection, offering more visibility and protection across our cloud environment.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security should function as a standalone solution, offering Cloud Security Posture Management, Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management, and Cloud Workload Protection capabilities without requiring integration with additional Assurance, Detection, and Response solutions. This would allow clients to implement Falcon Cloud Security independently within their systems, eliminating the need for integrations.

The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products. Currently, the documentation lacks step-by-step details, forcing users to seek assistance from OEM partners. Fortunately, the integration process itself is straightforward.

The initial deployment is straightforward.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security seven out of ten.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is deployed in multiple locations in multiple regions and offices in India. Each office has its own cloud systems that reside in its region.

I recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security to others.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers a robust and secure solution, backed by a reliable support system to ensure your cloud environment is well-protected.

We primarily use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as an XDR (Extended Detection and Response) solution, focusing on antivirus and malware protection.

It has been effective in protecting against common virus alerts, operating as a reliable security measure.

The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies.

The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive. We are also curious about how it will interact with other AI tools, however, we have not encountered any limitations.

I use the solution lightly, not extensively.

It has been stable, with no observed glitches.

The solution is scalable enough, as we are managing more than 4,000 endpoints.

The customer support is very good, earning a rating of nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward as it is cloud-based and one person is sufficient for installation.

We are budget-conscious and look for cost-effective solutions that can do the job efficiently.

Pricing is expensive. That said, if it does the job and is cost-effective, we go for it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution is primarily used to protect my cloud workloads. The nodes are serverless and they are Kubernetes-based nodes. 

The overall security posture in terms of best practices is very useful. 

You can install the agent and then figure out what is happening on the node. 

It's cloud security. The account needs to be looked at holistically. 

The solution is stable

Technical support is helpful. 

It can scale well. 

The UI part needs to be improved. 

There needs to be a little bit more support for Kubernetes and GCP.

The solution is expensive compared to on-premises options. 

I've been using the solution for four months.

I'd rate the stability nine out of ten. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. We have not had issues so far. 

I'd rate the solution's scalability nine out of the. We haven't had any issues. We are now moving to phase two in order to make our security posture better. We'll be focusing on it in the future. 

We have 200 users on the solution. 

Support is very helpful. They are responsive and able to assist and answer our questions. We are happy wit the level of assistance we received. 

Positive

We did not use a different solution. We couldn't find another partner that could offer us cloud-based affordable cloud security. 

The cloud deployment is very easy. I'd rate it seven out of ten. 

We had some questions and had to get help from support, so it wasn't completely smooth. The Kubernetes implementation was not straightforward. 

The UI causes a bit of time to be spent on deployment. It took us one month. 

The pricing of the solution is okay. Cloud, however, is very expensive compared to on-premises options. However, the pricing varies according to the business needs and sizing. 

We did evaluate other options. However, no one offered what Crowd Strike could. 

I'm a customer and end-user. 

The most important part is to understand the aspects of the features. If you have any requirements, like storing logs for longer, you need to understand if there are features there that can enable you to do what you need to do. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

Its use cases could be anything from deploying it for various clients of mine and deploying across various platforms. In terms of use cases, it's just for endpoint security. That's what it's designed to do.

There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product.

The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it. I can't say that that's necessarily where they need to improve, but that's what they need to improve, and they're working on that.

I've been working with this solution for a year now.

I haven't experienced any issues with it in terms of the agents that it deploys and the platform itself. I haven't seen any downtime.

It's very scalable. It's all cloud-based. The sky's the limit and how big you want to go with it.

They are very responsive. I'd definitely rate them a solid nine.

Positive

It's very easy to deploy. When it comes to maintenance, there is no requirement to run any kind of maintenance. There are settings that you can set. They do have version control. With the automation that it comes with, you can keep your agents updated automatically and seamlessly without anybody intervening. You just have to configure the settings and the version controlling that you want to run. Of course, you have the option to switch that off and do it manually if you want to, but it's not really recommended because they update their CrowsStrike agents relatively often, so you would want to have, if not the latest, at least one down from the latest version.

The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing.

Overall, I'd rate it a ten out of ten.
