CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has definitely increased our confidence in our ability to respond to security incidents. I genuinely say this as I started in the company two years ago, and I had one year of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR and one year of Sophos, and I think we sleep better at night. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR team works alongside our internal security team, and everybody in our team has an account and works with MDR. They submit tickets, claim different alerts, and investigate deeper. We were looking for a solution not to replace us but to leverage something that would help us do our job, and I think that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is exactly that. We work with them all the time, and they've been responsive and are happy to elaborate on how they did certain things, which gives us a little more confidence as well that we can go back and take a look and do it ourselves if we need to. An example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have required significant effort from my team occurred during a pen test we did. We were not happy that the previous solution was able to do certain things, but when we did the pen test recently while we had CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR completely deployed, it did alert us, it did stop them, which prevented them from gaining access and discovering vulnerabilities. That is an example of a lot of time saved because if we were to react to them in real life without some help from MDR, it would have taken much more time. The combination of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is extremely valuable. I researched all the different alternatives to our solutions, and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR stood out immediately. We compared them against some big players as well, and right now, our management is extremely happy with the solution. I'm glad that I was the one who brought it in. I feel there isn't a ten in our industry, but I would say I'm extremely happy, and I feel the business is happy too, and I'm being completely genuine and honest right nowāit's been nothing but good. I'm really happy that we are able to use that right now and learn it. Doing the workshops, I realized that I'm not utilizing half of the capabilities, and we're definitely not using it to the fullest because we're a smaller team, but I'm excited to work more with it and learn what else we can do with it. My advice to other companies considering this service or solution is that the biggest challenge for me was the learning curve because when I first got it, I didn't know what to do with it. It's not that it's lacking capabilities; there are just a lot of them, and it's hard to learn in the beginning. I would recommend getting some time and spending it in CrowdStrike University watching some videos. Usually, when you do a POC, they help you. They have some people assigned to you who can walk you through how to do certain things and get a feel for it and really play around with it. My overall rating for this solution is eight out of ten.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR works very well alongside my internal security team and existing SOC processes, as we started by getting the Complete team in and then put in the SOC process afterwards, so we basically did a leap first and then adjusted after. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has affected my company's mean time to detect, investigate, or respond to threats positively, as the fact that there's a 24/7 service makes it hard to tell, because before we didn't have one and didn't even have a security team; the whole point of doing this, getting this leap instead of building an internal team and going to Complete is that they fill that gap, and we have since started training our infrastructure team to be more secure, aware, and knowledgeable to be able to react, but the first line of defense is still the Complete team. Overall, I am very satisfied with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. I would recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR absolutely. I have given CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a rating of eight out of ten.

What stood out to me in my evaluation process, both positive and negative, when comparing options for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, is that the only negative is that it is pricey, but you're paying for 24/7 eyes on your entire environment. The positive side of things is that everything was very transparent. Our sales rep was very transparent. Our channel team worked with us and checked in with us once a month when we go over everything at a high-level overview. Our security advisor works with us once a quarter, and we go over the highs and lows and where we can improve, while overall looking at our environment and making recommendations, which I can solve in the next quarter. The advice I would give to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is why wait? That's literally all it comes down to. You're getting a full SOC team that's looking after your environment 24/7, so you can sleep at night, even if it's just double-checking your work in the way a proofreader would. I would rate this solution a 10.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has greatly improved my confidence in our organization's ability to respond to security incidents, knowing that CrowdStrike is there to help our organization with threats. My advice to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to definitely get on it if you can. I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.
The advice I would give to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is that it may not be for every organization, so evaluate your needs and see where it makes sense for you. For me, it was a no-brainer at the end of the day. I recommend looking at what you need, what is happening in your specific environment, what type of resources you have to bring to the table, and where you see a fit, because there is no such thing as a silver bullet in our business. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR comes pretty close. I have rated this review an 8 out of 10.

We like the governance and security that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR provides. I have a good amount of visibility into the investigations and actions performed by CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR team. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is very valuable. I don't have an example off the top of my head where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have otherwise required significant effort from our team. There's not a product really equivalent to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR and it has benefited our company significantly, so if the cost is affordable, then it is definitely worth pursuing. I rate this review a 9 overall.

My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to go for it. It is going to be an investment, but it is an investment in protecting your company and your company's data. I have no issues with us switching to CrowdStrike. It has been super beneficial, so I would tell other people to go for it. Since using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I feel a lot more confident knowing that we have help when it comes to the MDR side. Sometimes when an alert comes in, I am sitting there looking at it for a few minutes, trying to figure out what is actually going on. I am trying to decipher if it is a false positive or if it is an actual event, and while I am sifting through all that information trying to figure it out, our MDR team has already checked on it for us, so having that extra confidence is invaluable. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is super valuable for me because I can quickly get an answer that comes back really fast, but then double-checked with the actual team. It is super valuable. My experience with Falcon Complete MDR's capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response is that every time we get an alert, I am logging in and looking at the alert. By the time I get logged in and look at it, the Falcon Complete team has already assessed what is going on and either closed the ticket because it was a false positive or remediated the issue, such as removing a file or blocking a file. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has changed the workload of my internal security team because it has removed some material off our plate, but it has also added some material. We have a lot of different modules bolted onto our Falcon console, so there is a lot of remediation that we need to do to make ourselves more secure. It has offloaded a lot of the responsibility of these different alerts that come in and double-checking and making sure everything is good on that front. It has added some material to our workload, but it has also taken away. I give CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a rating of 10 out of 10. We are probably going to be Falcon Complete customers as long as I am at this organization. I love it. I feel strongly about giving it the highest rating of a 10 because we have not been hacked, and we have not been close to being hacked. What more can you ask for from your antivirus? It is protecting us on all fronts. They have a lot of bolt-ons with the identity, the Next-Gen Identity, and a lot of those other things. It is protecting us from all angles, so why not give it a 10 if it is doing that great of a job? Regarding CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, I think it is good. It is something that we are looking at rolling into and rolling out, and it is something that I have little experience with, but it is supposed to be doing a good job. Regarding CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, I think its accuracy and reliability of output are pretty good. There have been a few times that I have asked it questions, and the response was just okay or not super detailed, but recently, it has been pretty good.
I do not have a good example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would require significant effort from my team because, to be honest, we have not really had any big incidents or malware since we have been using it. Most of the blocks were kind of PUP software showing ads, so we have not had significant security incidents. What stood out to my organization in the evaluation process for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR was the reputation it received from talking with consultants who made the recommendation, mentioning that CrowdStrike is a best-in-class tool set for endpoint security and other solutions, which were key factors. I would definitely recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR to other organizations considering it because it is a very useful tool and probably the best solution for your network if you have the budget. If you need to save money, then perhaps another solution would be better, but if you can afford it, CrowdStrike is definitely the way to go. I gave this review a rating of 9.

I cannot describe a specific example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have required significant effort from my team because I would need to review the console records. Most of the threats I recall involve PowerShell scripts, and typically the patterns I see are scripts and Python-based attacks. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has improved my confidence in my organization's ability to respond to security incidents. I am actively seeking more information to deepen my understanding of the product. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR operates alongside my internal security team and existing SOC process as we are still developing our security operations. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service has been valuable based on my experience so far. Although I have not yet handled any high escalations, the service appears to be effective. I am aware that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR includes Charlotte AI capabilities. One of the recommendations was the ability to create custom Charlotte AI implementations, and I understand this feature is available, but I have not yet learned enough about it. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a seven overall. I rate it a seven because it performs its intended function effectively. I was also instructed to evaluate whether it is truly delivering as intended, which has been challenging to assess. I believe it is doing a great job so far, and that is why I rate it between a six or seven. Once I gain more knowledge about the product, this rating may change. I am currently a supporter of the solution. For other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I would offer both positive and negative observations. CrowdStrike is one of the leading solutions in the industry and appears to be maintaining its position. They are keeping up with emerging threats and staying ahead of threat actors, which is a significant positive factor. The negative aspects are that the console is difficult to use and there are too many modules, making it challenging to determine what to purchase. I hope that Charlotte AI will improve the overall user experience and platform usability. My overall rating for this product is seven out of ten.

My experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response has been good. When we got the cyber attack, I got the team to respond, and it was fairly easy to do, and it was calming when we had the cyber attack. My experience with CrowdStrike's 24/7 monitoring and response capabilities has been great, as it gives me peace of mind. I have high visibility into the investigations and actions performed by the Falcon Complete team. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is highly valuable. I met a couple of your people that helped us out, and it has been great. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR works alongside my internal security team or existing SOC processes as it is embedded in our cybersecurity practice. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has changed the workload of my internal security team by allowing my team to be more free and to focus more specifically on different tasks. The security challenges that led my organization to choose CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR were due to a major cyber attack where we had ransomware. My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to get it today and get it deployed right away. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, governance and security are the best out there in the market. The governance piece is great, and I appreciate the way they do hierarchy and then let us know when there is a high event. It has around 95% to 98% accuracy, though there are always some false positives where we need to check with the end users to make sure the issue is correct. My additional thoughts about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR are that it is the best in the market, and we are happy that we have that solution in our environment. I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
I am fully satisfied, and there are no complaints. My experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR would be a nine out of ten. For the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I suppose it is a little higher than other products. I give nine for the valuable insights gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR reporting and analysis features. I give 10 out of 10 for the effectiveness of its automated threat responses in our security operations. My overall review rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
My position is Assistant Director, and I can be reached at fahad.jamil@punjab-zami.gov.pk. I am available anytime, though scheduling an appointment in advance is preferred. After multiple attempts, we finally managed to connect, and it has been a great meeting with both you and the CrowdStrike team. The reviewer rated CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a 7 out of 10.

I recommend this product as it is a very powerful endpoint. Compared to other endpoints, it is one of the best in detection and response. I rate it nine out of ten. The management with the console is easy, costs are low, and the detection response alerts are very fast. I mentioned AI and patch management in vulnerabilities earlier.
The good part about it for us is that one of the big questions is that I think CrowdStrike is definitely one of the leaders, and we love the product. One of our big challenges was trying to figure out the cost around it and how to take that cost and push it back to our franchisee. I think we are starting to figure that piece out. One of the good things about the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR on the endpoints side of it is that we were looking for something that supported Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux. I think they check all the boxes. I think I'm finalizing what we will be able to do on the Android side of things and the iOS side of things. I think we are at a point where we're getting to a point with CrowdStrike where we know what the cost is, and we know that it's a viable solution. It is about getting the numbers together to see if it makes sense from a financial standpoint. I know that the team was working on getting better numbers, and they did. I think that allowed us to be able to move forward on working on the numbers to present to our executive team. I got to speak with them this morning, and I know that they got the numbers, so I think we have a good place, to be honest with you, as far as numbers now. The maintenance part is good. The main thing is that we are in the retail sector, and somebody at the end of the day on the retail side will manage things when a point of sale goes up or down, making sure that everything is in place. There is somebody on the security side who manages everything and has to address when an endpoint is being removed or is offline, so there are two people on it. There is also a 24-hour support team, whether that be our offshore team, which is mostly going to be an offshore team that will respond to issues. But again, you have a security team that is going to monitor the endpoints and know when they are offline, kick off tickets, and push to the support team to make them look into it. Somebody on the retail team should be able to tell us that a particular solution has been upgraded, so there is always a little checking and balancing when it comes to things on top of what is happening on the point-of-sale side of things on the payment side of things. The tool offered us the flexibility that we needed. The biggest thing is that it allows us to work because we are moving to a franchisee or hospitality solution or platform solution, especially for security-conscious people. In my industry, it has not always been as security-conscious. Security was only pulled on an as-needed basis. We are changing the atmosphere. We are changing that and being more proactive. That is why some of our processes take us a minute. We are not just in all locations, making things a little more challenging. You have to push and make sure the cost doesn't disrupt what a franchisee has going on. You have to look at it from a holistic standpoint. The solution has allowed us to do that and gradually push the security needs that we need to have in place. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Open your mind. Understand that what you thought you knew may not be good enough. It is not a knock on you. You are now just getting professionals who do it better than what you possibly could do internally. Keep an open mind, but understand that they are the experts and industry leaders for reasons. What a lot of clients do not take advantage of is the monthly calls where you can see what is coming down the pipe or have the best practice of using the product, and then keep the staff up to speed. You can work with their client success manager to look at your particular setup and what you can do to finetune the product. You can work with them for any anomalies or something that does not make sense. Everybody has room to improve, but this one is different. I have to give it a ten out of ten.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is probably one of the best software out there if you're looking at it. But if you're on a budget and you want to get something within the same price level, I would look at Bitdefender. Then if I added a worst-case scenario, I would go to Sophos or SentinelOne. In my industry, the cost is a huge variable. Though it's a good product, it's not easy and intuitive. I have to remember that my technical resources to offload my work are in the Philippines. So I need to have something that's very simplistic. I have helped desks in the Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, and Singapore. When I choose an application, I have to consider the intuitiveness of that application and also the multiple language barriers. So, that is where prospects fail, which is during the adoption process. I rate the overall solution a seven or eight out of ten.

I always recommend my customers do a Proof of Concept (PoC) because once they go through the product details, features, and performance, we can convert them into CrowdStrike customers. So I always recommend doing the PoC. We always recommend doing the PoC, which is like a demo. Overall, the solution is an eight out of ten because it's an automated solution, which is a significant improvement over traditional latency antivirus. With CrowdStrike, the customer can put in data resources and other things which are automated. In traditional solutions, you would have to work on notifications, do lots of research, and collect logs, but in CrowdStrike, you can easily go through the process and get all the details from when the threat hits your system. It's much more convenient and efficient.

My advice is to be clear in the negotiation phase about your expectations, the strengths and weaknesses of the solution, and how much of the implementation CrowdStrike will be doing for you. It's good to keep in mind what the required integrations are based on existing infrastructure to understand what is and isn't feasible in the integration.

We are customers and end-users. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. Typically, we set ourselves to N minus one. We're typically one version behind the most current. I'd warn potential new users that they have to look at the total cost of ownership. One item that's overlooked is when you get an antivirus or a security product, you will need experts to manage and maintain it. CrowdStrike basically provides you with the software solution and the technical support behind it. If you basically add up all those things, it'll probably be on a total cost basis; it'll be reasonable. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I have experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, and I've worked with it recently. I work as a solution architect, so I work with different products, and I can't tell you exactly which version of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete I used. I manage different customers, so the solution is deployed on various clouds, but mostly on a hybrid cloud, with providers being AWS and GCP. My advice to anyone looking into implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to go for it. You should move from the traditional antivirus to the next-gen antivirus. Next-gen antivirus such as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has malware detection, exploit detection, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) features that you won't find in the traditional antivirus. Signature-based antivirus also fails to detect zero-day attacks as well as crypto locker, ransomware, etc. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has IOA behavioral protection, and it has an analysis functionality and great reporting capabilities, so you should go for it. My rating for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is eight out of ten. Sometimes on remote users as it is release-signed, there's some issue with the agent and some false positives as well. In terms of detection, an antivirus or EDR solution, or any kind of threat protection product, you have to check a few things. One is how good it is when malware is in the pre-execution stage and the post-execution stage. I have done some analysis on CrowdStrike Falcon Complete on seventy-five different parameters and controls, and I concluded that the product is really good. It's not a ten out of ten because I cannot provide a perfect score for any product. Eight out of ten is a good score in my point of view because you'd still feel that other things are missing in the product.

From what I understand from our network architect, CrowdStrike Falcon is good value for the money required. We receive good service and support. The training is excellent. They offer a number of free classes to train users and analysts. It is a very capable product. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten overall.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete nine out of 10. Before you deploy the product, you need to do research, understand the capabilities, and assess your requirements. You should know what you need before you purchase something. It's not like buying jeans, where you can get another pair if you're not satisfied. You should be certain that it fits your requirement. Budgets are always a challenge in the security field because every CEO or company owner thinks IT security is a burden. It doesn't generate profit, and the company needs to spend money on products and services. You might not go for the best product if you have budgetary constraints.

I would advise anyone interested in such a solution to try it out. It is very easy to try it out. It is an absolute requirement to get an EDR solution in place. You should go with the ones that really have the most advanced capabilities for threat hunting. It is best to go with the experts. They've had some competition from Microsoft, which is not a bad solution, but Microsoft is not a security expert. CrowdStrike knows very well how to identify threats and link them to specific behavior. That's what you really want to have in there, and that's their strength. One of the reasons why they're still leading is that they are the only ones who can say, "We manage your network, and we would give you money back if we could not detect the issues upfront." That's one of their strong points. If they don't do any specific scanning, they will adapt themselves to that. If it is a new system, they would need to learn that. If there is something new in there, it could be harder for them to detect it because they don't yet know the behavior, and they have to learn about it. That's the only negative element I see in it. They're doing quite a bit of work in improving it. They are doing a good job in evolving the product. I don't see any specific needs at this given moment on that. You could ask a lot, but in the end, you still need to make sure that the core is functioning well. They should stick with what they do best. Evolve that but not start doing everything. That's because it will not work. I'd rather have them stick to their niche. I would rate it a nine out of 10.
We are customers and end-users. We don't have the agent or on-premise servers. This solution is SaaS and we don't need those in order to use it. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten considering the experience we've had over the last three years. The only downside is, in certain cases, that we still see the same gaps we have seen in SolarWinds. CrowdStrike is aware of those and is aware of what they need to do. As the first step, for example, what I've seen in the last six months is the integration with Mimecast which is quite a positive development. If you look at the Gartner or other rating agencies, where you can compare the features of Crowdstrike versus others leaders such as Trend Micro or Carbon Black, CrowdStrike is shown to be easy to implement, easy to manage, and very simple to use. You don't need a core skillset to manage a Crowdstrike in your environment. It's very friendly. At the same time, it gives very accurate results. You'll get fewer false positives.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is great, and I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten. If you go with this solution, I think that you should also obtain another service called Hybrid Analysis, the premium edition.

We definitely need to move to the next-generation solutions because these days attacks are pretty intense, and the traditional antivirus solutions are not going to stop them. CrowdStrike gives a proper security block. It is a 100% protector. There was a customer who was impacted by ransomware. We put SentinelOne over there, and we were able to catch the file that their antivirus couldn't. These solutions are 100% reliable and definitely good for any company that wants their enterprise to be protected on the endpoints. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.

We are a customer and an end-user of the product. We don't have a business relationship of any kind with Crowdstrike. The solution is deployed from the cloud. We put it on our endpoints, however, the core application is in CrowdStrike's cloud. It's a cloud app. Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

You need to know that CrowdStrike is different in the way it works as opposed to the traditional software. It is fairly self-explaining, but you just need to know that this endpoint is based on the behavior. This means that if you introduce a USB stick with malicious software on it and the software or the file isn't opened yet or is dormant, CrowdStrike won't detect it. The minute you are trying to use that file, and the file is trying to execute things, CrowdStrike detects it instantly and takes action to mitigate a problem. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten. It is a great product. For our company, it is the right product. It is company deployed, and we will stick with CrowdStrike.
Every solution has pros and cons. I don't see anything that is more advanced than other solutions, and it's just an ordinary spy product. I have to wait for some time to see how well it works in the real world, but it finds some malware and it finds some things that pass through as normal. At this point in time, I can't yet say for the general case whether I would recommend this product. We are still having a problem with the slowness and the impact on the performance of the system. For workstations or servers that do not have a high load on them, I would certainly recommend buying it. In our case, we had to remove it from our backup servers. So, if you're already using a backup, or hosting servers for VMware or Hyper-V, or using a SQL database, then you should consider testing it first. I'm still not sure what will happen in our case. At this point, I cannot rate it an eight or higher because we still don't have an answer on improving the performance. If ultimately they resolve our problem then I would rate this solution an eight or a nine out of ten. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

It's my understanding that we are using the latest version of the solution. I would definitely recommend this product to other companies. I'd rate the solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a nine. We've been quite happy with it so far.

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.
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.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. I'd advise other organizations to definitely do a proof of concept in their organization, and then go from there. Overall, I'd give the solution a nine out of ten. It ticks all the boxes for everything that we need to do for investigations in our environment.

My advice for anybody who is implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to get the training and make sure that they understand the system. If they are going to be doing their own admin work then they have to make sure that they understand it all. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

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.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete delivers agentic managed detection and response (MDR) that stops breaches with machine-speed execution and expert human judgment, 24/7. Built on the AI-native CrowdStrike FalconĀ® platform, Falcon Complete combines deterministic automation, adaptive AI trained on real-world investigations, and elite defenders to detect, investigate, contain, remediate, and proactively hunt threats across endpoint, identity, cloud, and third-party telemetry. By unifying complete...
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has definitely increased our confidence in our ability to respond to security incidents. I genuinely say this as I started in the company two years ago, and I had one year of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR and one year of Sophos, and I think we sleep better at night. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR team works alongside our internal security team, and everybody in our team has an account and works with MDR. They submit tickets, claim different alerts, and investigate deeper. We were looking for a solution not to replace us but to leverage something that would help us do our job, and I think that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is exactly that. We work with them all the time, and they've been responsive and are happy to elaborate on how they did certain things, which gives us a little more confidence as well that we can go back and take a look and do it ourselves if we need to. An example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have required significant effort from my team occurred during a pen test we did. We were not happy that the previous solution was able to do certain things, but when we did the pen test recently while we had CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR completely deployed, it did alert us, it did stop them, which prevented them from gaining access and discovering vulnerabilities. That is an example of a lot of time saved because if we were to react to them in real life without some help from MDR, it would have taken much more time. The combination of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is extremely valuable. I researched all the different alternatives to our solutions, and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR stood out immediately. We compared them against some big players as well, and right now, our management is extremely happy with the solution. I'm glad that I was the one who brought it in. I feel there isn't a ten in our industry, but I would say I'm extremely happy, and I feel the business is happy too, and I'm being completely genuine and honest right nowāit's been nothing but good. I'm really happy that we are able to use that right now and learn it. Doing the workshops, I realized that I'm not utilizing half of the capabilities, and we're definitely not using it to the fullest because we're a smaller team, but I'm excited to work more with it and learn what else we can do with it. My advice to other companies considering this service or solution is that the biggest challenge for me was the learning curve because when I first got it, I didn't know what to do with it. It's not that it's lacking capabilities; there are just a lot of them, and it's hard to learn in the beginning. I would recommend getting some time and spending it in CrowdStrike University watching some videos. Usually, when you do a POC, they help you. They have some people assigned to you who can walk you through how to do certain things and get a feel for it and really play around with it. My overall rating for this solution is eight out of ten.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR works very well alongside my internal security team and existing SOC processes, as we started by getting the Complete team in and then put in the SOC process afterwards, so we basically did a leap first and then adjusted after. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has affected my company's mean time to detect, investigate, or respond to threats positively, as the fact that there's a 24/7 service makes it hard to tell, because before we didn't have one and didn't even have a security team; the whole point of doing this, getting this leap instead of building an internal team and going to Complete is that they fill that gap, and we have since started training our infrastructure team to be more secure, aware, and knowledgeable to be able to react, but the first line of defense is still the Complete team. Overall, I am very satisfied with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. I would recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR absolutely. I have given CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a rating of eight out of ten.
What stood out to me in my evaluation process, both positive and negative, when comparing options for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, is that the only negative is that it is pricey, but you're paying for 24/7 eyes on your entire environment. The positive side of things is that everything was very transparent. Our sales rep was very transparent. Our channel team worked with us and checked in with us once a month when we go over everything at a high-level overview. Our security advisor works with us once a quarter, and we go over the highs and lows and where we can improve, while overall looking at our environment and making recommendations, which I can solve in the next quarter. The advice I would give to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is why wait? That's literally all it comes down to. You're getting a full SOC team that's looking after your environment 24/7, so you can sleep at night, even if it's just double-checking your work in the way a proofreader would. I would rate this solution a 10.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has greatly improved my confidence in our organization's ability to respond to security incidents, knowing that CrowdStrike is there to help our organization with threats. My advice to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to definitely get on it if you can. I would rate this solution a 9 out of 10.
The advice I would give to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is that it may not be for every organization, so evaluate your needs and see where it makes sense for you. For me, it was a no-brainer at the end of the day. I recommend looking at what you need, what is happening in your specific environment, what type of resources you have to bring to the table, and where you see a fit, because there is no such thing as a silver bullet in our business. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR comes pretty close. I have rated this review an 8 out of 10.
We like the governance and security that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR provides. I have a good amount of visibility into the investigations and actions performed by CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR team. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is very valuable. I don't have an example off the top of my head where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have otherwise required significant effort from our team. There's not a product really equivalent to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR and it has benefited our company significantly, so if the cost is affordable, then it is definitely worth pursuing. I rate this review a 9 overall.
My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to go for it. It is going to be an investment, but it is an investment in protecting your company and your company's data. I have no issues with us switching to CrowdStrike. It has been super beneficial, so I would tell other people to go for it. Since using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I feel a lot more confident knowing that we have help when it comes to the MDR side. Sometimes when an alert comes in, I am sitting there looking at it for a few minutes, trying to figure out what is actually going on. I am trying to decipher if it is a false positive or if it is an actual event, and while I am sifting through all that information trying to figure it out, our MDR team has already checked on it for us, so having that extra confidence is invaluable. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is super valuable for me because I can quickly get an answer that comes back really fast, but then double-checked with the actual team. It is super valuable. My experience with Falcon Complete MDR's capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response is that every time we get an alert, I am logging in and looking at the alert. By the time I get logged in and look at it, the Falcon Complete team has already assessed what is going on and either closed the ticket because it was a false positive or remediated the issue, such as removing a file or blocking a file. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has changed the workload of my internal security team because it has removed some material off our plate, but it has also added some material. We have a lot of different modules bolted onto our Falcon console, so there is a lot of remediation that we need to do to make ourselves more secure. It has offloaded a lot of the responsibility of these different alerts that come in and double-checking and making sure everything is good on that front. It has added some material to our workload, but it has also taken away. I give CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a rating of 10 out of 10. We are probably going to be Falcon Complete customers as long as I am at this organization. I love it. I feel strongly about giving it the highest rating of a 10 because we have not been hacked, and we have not been close to being hacked. What more can you ask for from your antivirus? It is protecting us on all fronts. They have a lot of bolt-ons with the identity, the Next-Gen Identity, and a lot of those other things. It is protecting us from all angles, so why not give it a 10 if it is doing that great of a job? Regarding CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, I think it is good. It is something that we are looking at rolling into and rolling out, and it is something that I have little experience with, but it is supposed to be doing a good job. Regarding CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, I think its accuracy and reliability of output are pretty good. There have been a few times that I have asked it questions, and the response was just okay or not super detailed, but recently, it has been pretty good.
I do not have a good example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would require significant effort from my team because, to be honest, we have not really had any big incidents or malware since we have been using it. Most of the blocks were kind of PUP software showing ads, so we have not had significant security incidents. What stood out to my organization in the evaluation process for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR was the reputation it received from talking with consultants who made the recommendation, mentioning that CrowdStrike is a best-in-class tool set for endpoint security and other solutions, which were key factors. I would definitely recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR to other organizations considering it because it is a very useful tool and probably the best solution for your network if you have the budget. If you need to save money, then perhaps another solution would be better, but if you can afford it, CrowdStrike is definitely the way to go. I gave this review a rating of 9.
My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to evaluate the solution in totality, considering not just the technical aspects but also the people and how they value relationships with partners. I would rate this review a 9 out of 10.
My advice to other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to do it. Try to figure out how it could seamlessly blend into your environment, and it's one of the greatest security purchases. I give this product a rating of 10 out of 10.
I cannot describe a specific example where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR identified or contained a threat that would have required significant effort from my team because I would need to review the console records. Most of the threats I recall involve PowerShell scripts, and typically the patterns I see are scripts and Python-based attacks. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has improved my confidence in my organization's ability to respond to security incidents. I am actively seeking more information to deepen my understanding of the product. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR operates alongside my internal security team and existing SOC process as we are still developing our security operations. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service has been valuable based on my experience so far. Although I have not yet handled any high escalations, the service appears to be effective. I am aware that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR includes Charlotte AI capabilities. One of the recommendations was the ability to create custom Charlotte AI implementations, and I understand this feature is available, but I have not yet learned enough about it. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a seven overall. I rate it a seven because it performs its intended function effectively. I was also instructed to evaluate whether it is truly delivering as intended, which has been challenging to assess. I believe it is doing a great job so far, and that is why I rate it between a six or seven. Once I gain more knowledge about the product, this rating may change. I am currently a supporter of the solution. For other organizations considering CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I would offer both positive and negative observations. CrowdStrike is one of the leading solutions in the industry and appears to be maintaining its position. They are keeping up with emerging threats and staying ahead of threat actors, which is a significant positive factor. The negative aspects are that the console is difficult to use and there are too many modules, making it challenging to determine what to purchase. I hope that Charlotte AI will improve the overall user experience and platform usability. My overall rating for this product is seven out of ten.
My experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's capabilities for threat detection, investigation, and response has been good. When we got the cyber attack, I got the team to respond, and it was fairly easy to do, and it was calming when we had the cyber attack. My experience with CrowdStrike's 24/7 monitoring and response capabilities has been great, as it gives me peace of mind. I have high visibility into the investigations and actions performed by the Falcon Complete team. The combination of CrowdStrike technology and human security expertise in the MDR service is highly valuable. I met a couple of your people that helped us out, and it has been great. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR works alongside my internal security team or existing SOC processes as it is embedded in our cybersecurity practice. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has changed the workload of my internal security team by allowing my team to be more free and to focus more specifically on different tasks. The security challenges that led my organization to choose CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR were due to a major cyber attack where we had ransomware. My advice to others looking into using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is to get it today and get it deployed right away. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR's AI capabilities, governance and security are the best out there in the market. The governance piece is great, and I appreciate the way they do hierarchy and then let us know when there is a high event. It has around 95% to 98% accuracy, though there are always some false positives where we need to check with the end users to make sure the issue is correct. My additional thoughts about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR are that it is the best in the market, and we are happy that we have that solution in our environment. I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
I am fully satisfied, and there are no complaints. My experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR would be a nine out of ten. For the pricing of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, I suppose it is a little higher than other products. I give nine for the valuable insights gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR reporting and analysis features. I give 10 out of 10 for the effectiveness of its automated threat responses in our security operations. My overall review rating for this product is 9 out of 10.
My position is Assistant Director, and I can be reached at fahad.jamil@punjab-zami.gov.pk. I am available anytime, though scheduling an appointment in advance is preferred. After multiple attempts, we finally managed to connect, and it has been a great meeting with both you and the CrowdStrike team. The reviewer rated CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR a 7 out of 10.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR an eight out of ten. I do not use AI technology with CrowdStrike.
I recommend this product as it is a very powerful endpoint. Compared to other endpoints, it is one of the best in detection and response. I rate it nine out of ten. The management with the console is easy, costs are low, and the detection response alerts are very fast. I mentioned AI and patch management in vulnerabilities earlier.
The good part about it for us is that one of the big questions is that I think CrowdStrike is definitely one of the leaders, and we love the product. One of our big challenges was trying to figure out the cost around it and how to take that cost and push it back to our franchisee. I think we are starting to figure that piece out. One of the good things about the CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR on the endpoints side of it is that we were looking for something that supported Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux. I think they check all the boxes. I think I'm finalizing what we will be able to do on the Android side of things and the iOS side of things. I think we are at a point where we're getting to a point with CrowdStrike where we know what the cost is, and we know that it's a viable solution. It is about getting the numbers together to see if it makes sense from a financial standpoint. I know that the team was working on getting better numbers, and they did. I think that allowed us to be able to move forward on working on the numbers to present to our executive team. I got to speak with them this morning, and I know that they got the numbers, so I think we have a good place, to be honest with you, as far as numbers now. The maintenance part is good. The main thing is that we are in the retail sector, and somebody at the end of the day on the retail side will manage things when a point of sale goes up or down, making sure that everything is in place. There is somebody on the security side who manages everything and has to address when an endpoint is being removed or is offline, so there are two people on it. There is also a 24-hour support team, whether that be our offshore team, which is mostly going to be an offshore team that will respond to issues. But again, you have a security team that is going to monitor the endpoints and know when they are offline, kick off tickets, and push to the support team to make them look into it. Somebody on the retail team should be able to tell us that a particular solution has been upgraded, so there is always a little checking and balancing when it comes to things on top of what is happening on the point-of-sale side of things on the payment side of things. The tool offered us the flexibility that we needed. The biggest thing is that it allows us to work because we are moving to a franchisee or hospitality solution or platform solution, especially for security-conscious people. In my industry, it has not always been as security-conscious. Security was only pulled on an as-needed basis. We are changing the atmosphere. We are changing that and being more proactive. That is why some of our processes take us a minute. We are not just in all locations, making things a little more challenging. You have to push and make sure the cost doesn't disrupt what a franchisee has going on. You have to look at it from a holistic standpoint. The solution has allowed us to do that and gradually push the security needs that we need to have in place. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete eight out of ten. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete provides clear and detailed documentation.
I'd rate the solution 8 out of 10. I can completely rely on CrowdStrike.
Open your mind. Understand that what you thought you knew may not be good enough. It is not a knock on you. You are now just getting professionals who do it better than what you possibly could do internally. Keep an open mind, but understand that they are the experts and industry leaders for reasons. What a lot of clients do not take advantage of is the monthly calls where you can see what is coming down the pipe or have the best practice of using the product, and then keep the staff up to speed. You can work with their client success manager to look at your particular setup and what you can do to finetune the product. You can work with them for any anomalies or something that does not make sense. Everybody has room to improve, but this one is different. I have to give it a ten out of ten.
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is deployed across our entire organization.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete 10 out of 10. I would recommend Falcon Complete to others. To those planning to implement Falcon Complete, I recommend cleaning the environment before installing the new product. You need to ensure every tool that was installed on the machines is removed.
Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
Instead of maintaining on-prem licenses, we suggest CrowdStrike for better performance and better prevention of threats.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is probably one of the best software out there if you're looking at it. But if you're on a budget and you want to get something within the same price level, I would look at Bitdefender. Then if I added a worst-case scenario, I would go to Sophos or SentinelOne. In my industry, the cost is a huge variable. Though it's a good product, it's not easy and intuitive. I have to remember that my technical resources to offload my work are in the Philippines. So I need to have something that's very simplistic. I have helped desks in the Philippines, Malaysia, Mexico, and Singapore. When I choose an application, I have to consider the intuitiveness of that application and also the multiple language barriers. So, that is where prospects fail, which is during the adoption process. I rate the overall solution a seven or eight out of ten.
We are looking to move to SentinelOne because of the lack of threat visibility. My advice to others is to take the full package of the solution to determine what are the most useful features and then adjust the package later. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I always recommend my customers do a Proof of Concept (PoC) because once they go through the product details, features, and performance, we can convert them into CrowdStrike customers. So I always recommend doing the PoC. We always recommend doing the PoC, which is like a demo. Overall, the solution is an eight out of ten because it's an automated solution, which is a significant improvement over traditional latency antivirus. With CrowdStrike, the customer can put in data resources and other things which are automated. In traditional solutions, you would have to work on notifications, do lots of research, and collect logs, but in CrowdStrike, you can easily go through the process and get all the details from when the threat hits your system. It's much more convenient and efficient.
I am a customer. We are using the latest version of the solution. I'd advise others to do a lot of research and do a POC so that they are aware of what they will be getting and what they will be signing up for. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete nine out of 10. I deducted one point because of the price, which is the only thing I don't like about it.
I recommend using the solution. Nowadays, there is a cyber warfare so a bit of protection is important. I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.
I rate the solution eight out of ten. My advice is to be clear in the negotiation phase about your expectations, the strengths and weaknesses of the solution, and how much of the implementation CrowdStrike will be doing for you. It's good to keep in mind what the required integrations are based on existing infrastructure to understand what is and isn't feasible in the integration.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is a good solution, and we have not had any complaints so far. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate it at eight.
If you use this solution your environment will be safe. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
We are customers and end-users. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. Typically, we set ourselves to N minus one. We're typically one version behind the most current. I'd warn potential new users that they have to look at the total cost of ownership. One item that's overlooked is when you get an antivirus or a security product, you will need experts to manage and maintain it. CrowdStrike basically provides you with the software solution and the technical support behind it. If you basically add up all those things, it'll probably be on a total cost basis; it'll be reasonable. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
I would rate Falcon Complete as eight out of ten.
I have experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, and I've worked with it recently. I work as a solution architect, so I work with different products, and I can't tell you exactly which version of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete I used. I manage different customers, so the solution is deployed on various clouds, but mostly on a hybrid cloud, with providers being AWS and GCP. My advice to anyone looking into implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to go for it. You should move from the traditional antivirus to the next-gen antivirus. Next-gen antivirus such as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has malware detection, exploit detection, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) features that you won't find in the traditional antivirus. Signature-based antivirus also fails to detect zero-day attacks as well as crypto locker, ransomware, etc. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has IOA behavioral protection, and it has an analysis functionality and great reporting capabilities, so you should go for it. My rating for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is eight out of ten. Sometimes on remote users as it is release-signed, there's some issue with the agent and some false positives as well. In terms of detection, an antivirus or EDR solution, or any kind of threat protection product, you have to check a few things. One is how good it is when malware is in the pre-execution stage and the post-execution stage. I have done some analysis on CrowdStrike Falcon Complete on seventy-five different parameters and controls, and I concluded that the product is really good. It's not a ten out of ten because I cannot provide a perfect score for any product. Eight out of ten is a good score in my point of view because you'd still feel that other things are missing in the product.
From what I understand from our network architect, CrowdStrike Falcon is good value for the money required. We receive good service and support. The training is excellent. They offer a number of free classes to train users and analysts. It is a very capable product. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten overall.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete nine out of 10. Before you deploy the product, you need to do research, understand the capabilities, and assess your requirements. You should know what you need before you purchase something. It's not like buying jeans, where you can get another pair if you're not satisfied. You should be certain that it fits your requirement. Budgets are always a challenge in the security field because every CEO or company owner thinks IT security is a burden. It doesn't generate profit, and the company needs to spend money on products and services. You might not go for the best product if you have budgetary constraints.
I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a seven out of ten.
CrowdStrike is one of the top two EDRs on the market. Since the solution is lightweight, it is able to offer a lot of features and provide you with strong protection against different attacks. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
I would advise anyone interested in such a solution to try it out. It is very easy to try it out. It is an absolute requirement to get an EDR solution in place. You should go with the ones that really have the most advanced capabilities for threat hunting. It is best to go with the experts. They've had some competition from Microsoft, which is not a bad solution, but Microsoft is not a security expert. CrowdStrike knows very well how to identify threats and link them to specific behavior. That's what you really want to have in there, and that's their strength. One of the reasons why they're still leading is that they are the only ones who can say, "We manage your network, and we would give you money back if we could not detect the issues upfront." That's one of their strong points. If they don't do any specific scanning, they will adapt themselves to that. If it is a new system, they would need to learn that. If there is something new in there, it could be harder for them to detect it because they don't yet know the behavior, and they have to learn about it. That's the only negative element I see in it. They're doing quite a bit of work in improving it. They are doing a good job in evolving the product. I don't see any specific needs at this given moment on that. You could ask a lot, but in the end, you still need to make sure that the core is functioning well. They should stick with what they do best. Evolve that but not start doing everything. That's because it will not work. I'd rather have them stick to their niche. I would rate it a nine out of 10.
I would recommend CrowdStrike Falcon Complete to others. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I would recommend this solution to others. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete ten out of ten.
We are customers and end-users. We don't have the agent or on-premise servers. This solution is SaaS and we don't need those in order to use it. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten considering the experience we've had over the last three years. The only downside is, in certain cases, that we still see the same gaps we have seen in SolarWinds. CrowdStrike is aware of those and is aware of what they need to do. As the first step, for example, what I've seen in the last six months is the integration with Mimecast which is quite a positive development. If you look at the Gartner or other rating agencies, where you can compare the features of Crowdstrike versus others leaders such as Trend Micro or Carbon Black, CrowdStrike is shown to be easy to implement, easy to manage, and very simple to use. You don't need a core skillset to manage a Crowdstrike in your environment. It's very friendly. At the same time, it gives very accurate results. You'll get fewer false positives.
I would recommend this solution to others. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is great, and I would rate it at eight on a scale from one to ten. If you go with this solution, I think that you should also obtain another service called Hybrid Analysis, the premium edition. I think with this, you'll get malware samples you can correlate, and it will be a good tool for the SOC team.
I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I can recommend this solution. It is definitely one of the best products in the market, but so many false positives are its minus point. Cisco AMP for Endpoints is better than this. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a seven out of ten.
My company is a customer and an end-user of the solution. It doesn't have any direct affiliation with Crowdstrike. We're using the latest version of the solution at this time. I can't speak to what the actual version number is. I'd rate the solution, on a scale from one to ten, at an eight. We're mostly quite satisfied with the solution. I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
I would recommend this solution. I would advise others to get the best pricing and doing it around the quarters. You should really understand the pricing structure and the fact that you still need somebody to be able to take their call if there is something they can't do. Do health checks, and make sure that it is implemented correctly and you have got all your endpoints covered. It is a partnership between the vendor and the customer, and CrowdStrike is really good at that. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a ten out of ten.
In terms of XDR, it is a very good solution. It is one of the leaders for XDR. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I would tell potential users to uninstall other antivirus products before installing this solution. If you don't do it, it will affect its performance. On a scale from one to ten, I would give CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine.
We definitely need to move to the next-generation solutions because these days attacks are pretty intense, and the traditional antivirus solutions are not going to stop them. CrowdStrike gives a proper security block. It is a 100% protector. There was a customer who was impacted by ransomware. We put SentinelOne over there, and we were able to catch the file that their antivirus couldn't. These solutions are 100% reliable and definitely good for any company that wants their enterprise to be protected on the endpoints. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
We are a customer and an end-user of the product. We don't have a business relationship of any kind with Crowdstrike. The solution is deployed from the cloud. We put it on our endpoints, however, the core application is in CrowdStrike's cloud. It's a cloud app. Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
You need to know that CrowdStrike is different in the way it works as opposed to the traditional software. It is fairly self-explaining, but you just need to know that this endpoint is based on the behavior. This means that if you introduce a USB stick with malicious software on it and the software or the file isn't opened yet or is dormant, CrowdStrike won't detect it. The minute you are trying to use that file, and the file is trying to execute things, CrowdStrike detects it instantly and takes action to mitigate a problem. I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten. It is a great product. For our company, it is the right product. It is company deployed, and we will stick with CrowdStrike.
I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten.
I did not give the solution a ten out of ten because there is always room for improvement. I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten.
Every solution has pros and cons. I don't see anything that is more advanced than other solutions, and it's just an ordinary spy product. I have to wait for some time to see how well it works in the real world, but it finds some malware and it finds some things that pass through as normal. At this point in time, I can't yet say for the general case whether I would recommend this product. We are still having a problem with the slowness and the impact on the performance of the system. For workstations or servers that do not have a high load on them, I would certainly recommend buying it. In our case, we had to remove it from our backup servers. So, if you're already using a backup, or hosting servers for VMware or Hyper-V, or using a SQL database, then you should consider testing it first. I'm still not sure what will happen in our case. At this point, I cannot rate it an eight or higher because we still don't have an answer on improving the performance. If ultimately they resolve our problem then I would rate this solution an eight or a nine out of ten. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
It's my understanding that we are using the latest version of the solution. I would definitely recommend this product to other companies. I'd rate the solution, on a scale from one to ten, at a nine. We've been quite happy with it so far.
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.
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.
We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with the company. I'd advise other organizations to definitely do a proof of concept in their organization, and then go from there. Overall, I'd give the solution a nine out of ten. It ticks all the boxes for everything that we need to do for investigations in our environment.
My advice for anybody who is implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to get the training and make sure that they understand the system. If they are going to be doing their own admin work then they have to make sure that they understand it all. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
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.
