For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for the last four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable, and while there may be opportunities for further improvements, the solution is well-designed and works well at this time.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is cloud-based, so it offers scalable capabilities without any additional requirements.
How are customer service and support?
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's technical support is very good; they respond accurately, on time, and in accordance with their Service Level Agreement.
How was the initial setup?
This solution is highly acclaimed for its seamless implementation and ease of use. Deployment is effortless, with simple policy creation and enabling processes. All aspects of this product work together smoothly.
What about the implementation team?
Our clients must always receive technical and partner support when deploying our solution. We provide recommendations and best practices to ensure a successful integration that won't negatively affect existing systems. We can also provide guidance on how our product will interact with preexisting solutions.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
CrowdStrike offers solutions with the same functionality for both large enterprises and small to medium organizations with competitive pricing. CrowdStrike is able to provide its customers with a solution that fits within their budget.
What other advice do I have?
I give the solution a ten out of ten.
At my job, I am often working with CrowdStrike, as it is a well-designed solution that works effectively and has been tested by numerous customers. However, I am not limited to just this product and will provide a solution to customers no matter their preferences. I offer suggestions and recommendations to customers and work to meet their needs and terms and conditions.
I believe at times that CrowdStrike is the best option on the market when it comes to MDR. CrowdStrike is a very good solution.
The market provides a lot of capabilities when it comes to product offerings, not just endpoint security. Now, a single solution can offer different types of protection. So, there is no limit to how much a tool can be extended and expanded. It is up to the companies to decide what features and capabilities they want to offer.

I like the product's AI functionality and vulnerability management
Pros and Cons
- "I like Falcon's AI functionality and vulnerability management. That has been so helpful. Falcon Complete can manage vulnerabilities, quarantine threats, and do all kinds of forensic incident analysis. It's a lightweight solution that only uses 1% of the CPU, which is a game changer. Other EDRs have had high CPU usage."
- "Falcon could use more SIEM capabilities, like a central place to monitor all our clients."
What is our primary use case?
My organization is a cybersecurity company using CrowdStrike Falcon for incident response and forensic analysis. Twenty-five employees are using it now
How has it helped my organization?
CrowdStrike has improved our operations in many ways. Three of our clients recently got hit by ransomware. Using Falcon Complete, we contained and fixed the issue and helped them get things back to normal.

Other EDRs have had high CPU usage.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Falcon 10 out of 10 for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon 10 out of 10 for scalability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We were using McAfee Endpoint Security, but we later partnered with CrowdStrike, so we started using Falcon. The McAfee solution was limited. CrowdStrike EDR has a good dashboard that lets us see what's happening and the processes on my machines. It has better quarantining and remediation.
How was the initial setup?
Setting up Falcon was straightforward. We deploy it on the cloud and on-prem, depending on the client. You can deploy it in under five minutes with an adequate internet connection.
The number of people needed to deploy the solution varies. It only requires one person if we are using Active Directory. However, we typically do it manually with four people to do it, so it's faster for us to reach the organization's endpoints.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated Trend Micro and a few other EDRs. We found from the ratings that CrowdStrike was more effective than other EDRs. In addition, we have some solutions from other vendors like AlienVault OSSIM and Darktrace because those are the main players in our market.

What is our primary use case?
We use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for the management of endpoints, which are located onshore and offshore.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is mainly for endpoint protection, and we used it alongside Microsoft Defender, to secure our assets, which are either domains or newgroups.
What is most valuable?
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management.
What needs improvement?

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for approximately two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is stable. If they make any changes in the backend, then they leave their clients with very little choice, they either have to force manage everything or they can be left out.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is good. We are in the cloud making scalability not a problem.
How are customer service and support?

Microsoft Defender for Endpoints is a very basic endpoint security solution. I cannot even compare it with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.
How was the initial setup?
The initial implementation of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, including the creation of policies and aspects, is fairly easy. However, the only challenge is to roll out the endpoints individually onto all systems. If you have a large network and you don't have an SCCM or any other solution through which you can roll out, it becomes cumbersome. The solution does not come with any auto ruling platform feature.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions.
