Real-time response features, in-depth data collection, and top level stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The real-time response features are valuable for us."
  • "The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for AB protection and endpoint detection and response.

What is most valuable?

The real-time response features are valuable for us.  The depth of data that the agent collects is all very helpful, and on a forensic standpoint as well.

What needs improvement?

The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful. It took us a lot of time to work through their API on how to do it programmatically. Aside from that, we really have not had very much trouble with Crowdstrike.

For an upcoming feature, adding more Linux support for real time response analytics would be helpful. This might be on their roadmap, or maybe even in a very pending release. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the solution for approximately four months.

Great at stopping vulnerabilities, takes a proactive approach to security, and is not signature-based
Pros and Cons
  • "It's not a signature-based solution, which is ideal for us."
  • "In a future release, it would be ideal if they could add reporting and action histories to their suite of features."

What is most valuable?

Overall, the solution is pretty good.

The overall ability to stop vulnerabilities is quite helpful.

I appreciate how the solution takes a proactive approach to security.

It's not a signature-based solution, which is ideal for us.

What needs improvement?

The solution could offer integration with some additional solutions - for example, vulnerability scanners.

In a future release, it would be ideal if they could add reporting and action histories to their suite of features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the product at this point for about three years. It hasn't been too long.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also currently use SentinelOne and FireEye. However, CrowdStrike is a solution I primarily use right now.

What other advice do I have?

I work for a very large VAR, and we handle about a billion dollars in security right now.

I'm a reseller and security architect.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a ten out of ten. It's an excellent option and one we highly recommend to our clients. We offer it quite extensively over other options.

Simple, requires little management and is easy to set up
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to deploy and manage."
  • "We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for mobile and endpoint protection.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution is extremely simple. That's what makes it great. It just works. There's no management of it, really. The sheer simplicity is what has really improved overall.

What is most valuable?

The threat intel provided is very good. The overall vulnerability and identification, for example, are excellent. As is the malware protection.

CrowdStrike is actually probably the most well-rounded endpoint platform. They're the leader according to Gartner.

The solution is easy to deploy and manage.

The product is able to handle mobile as well as the cloud and various operating systems.

What needs improvement?

I don't think the solution is really missing any features.

We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for about a year at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. It doesn't fail or freeze. It doesn't seem to have bugs or glitches. We find it very reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good. If you need to scale it, you can.

How was the initial setup?

The solution isn't too complex to set up. We found it pretty easy to implement and deploy, actually. We're a small organization, so we didn't have too much complexity, however. We're less than 20 people, so our organization's setup was pretty quick.

What about the implementation team?

We handled the entire implementation process with our own team in-house. We didn't need the assistance of a consultant or integrator.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The company has to make money. I understand why they charge what they do, and I see the value in the product. Therefore, the pricing is fair.

What other advice do I have?

We're the secure digital transformation leader in Canada. We're customers and consultants that use different solutions. We're also a partner. We provide managed services and we actually sell the software.

We're 100% on the cloud and all of our solutions are on the cloud. We're using the latest version of the solution.

Overall, I would rate them ten out of ten. They have a great, holistic platform.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

It looks at the anomalies that normal AI and machine learning couldn't catch
Pros and Cons
  • "CrowdStrike side, Falcon is the Endpoint Detection, Overwatch is the service that sits behind it. From a human point of view looks at the anomalies that normal AI and machine learning couldn't catch. So it is the combination of the two that really works well."
  • "It really is an expensive product in the South African market. And they need people in our country. Their partner program isn't yet where it should be. They need a lot of work and there's a lot of improvement needed."

What is most valuable?

CrowdStrike side, Falcon is the Endpoint Detection, Overwatch is the service that sits behind it. From a human point of view,it looks at the anomalies that normal AI and machine learning couldn't catch. So it is the combination of the two that really works well.

What needs improvement?

At this stage, I don't really see room for improvement. I do think because the IP security market and the threat landscape is moving along so quickly, there's always room for improvement and there are always new elements one has to look at and look at in-depth, but at this stage, OverWatch is much better than the competitors. And I've seen a lot of their competitors.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for around a year and three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is very stable at this stage. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's very scalable. It's scalable to the extent where it will out-scale anything we've got in South Africa. It definitely would fulfill every single need we've got in South Africa in terms of scalability.

Our clients are mostly enterprise, but they vary. They are clients that take security very seriously. I focus just on the security side and obviously even smaller customers have big security profiles sometimes.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support so far has been good. It would be better if they had people in the country, in South Africa. But other than that, it's been very good. I haven't had complaints.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I did use other solutions before CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is the most expensive, so not always the best solution to everybody's problem because of the price tag. From a security efficacy point of view, I have not seen anything that's been as good as CrowdStrike and I've seen a lot them.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward. I've seen rollouts where a thousand could be rolled out in an hour. So it really is quite straightforward. It is simple. It doesn't need the back end that a lot of your other endpoint security products need where you need to install a lot of servers on-site before you can get the solution in and working. From prerequisites and so forth there's very little that you need. It really is simple and quick.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to anybody considering this is: Do it. If somebody really wants to implement and they've already seen that they've got a need, I believe everybody's got a need, and that they've got budget and total for it, my advice would be to do it. Get it implemented. Any of the traditional antivirus solutions or endpoint protection solutions see about 50% of what goes on, on the internet. People who don't have CrowdStrike or a decent competitor, they are blind to 50% of the problem. You cannot manage what you cannot see. My advice is to do it.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten. Not a ten because the price point is not good. It really is an expensive product in the South African market. And they need people in our country. Their partner program isn't yet where it should be. They need a lot of work and there's a lot of improvement needed. But in terms of the technical and the security behind the product, it's a kick-ass product.

Our clients can see threats and prevent them at the initial stage
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
  • "I would like to see them introduce DLP."

What is our primary use case?

We provide service to our customers based on their XDR requirements, such as multi-platform solutions or whatever they have. We use the solution to provide security for those integrated solutions and service their XDR platforms.

How has it helped my organization?

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete will reduce the cost of an IT team. You just download the agent and install the license. It's as simple as that.

Also, because of the prevention the solution provides, our clients can see the threats and they can prevent them at the initial stage.

What is most valuable?

The XDR features are the most valuable in the solution.

And it is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports. If the internet is connected, the updates and everything can be automatically downloaded, and they can just click and monitor things.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see them introduce DLP.

For how long have I used the solution?

We are a partner for this solution and we have been working with it for more than four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is fine. We haven't seen any issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used to use McAfee and Kaspersky. We switched because CrowdStrike has very user-friendly licensing for both the customer and the partner.

How was the initial setup?

We haven't seen any challenges at the time of deployment. It is a cloud solution and is deployed per our customer's requirements. For example, if the customer has an Azure environment, we deploy it for Azure. And if they have on-prem services, we deploy it for those services.

Most of the time it is a remote implementation.

We have not seen any challenges regarding its maintenance.

What was our ROI?

Our clients definitely see return on investment from CrowdStrike.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro. In the Indian market, it is 10 percent higher.

What other advice do I have?

Instead of maintaining on-prem licenses, we suggest CrowdStrike for better performance and better prevention of threats.
