Does the job, doesn't kill your endpoint.
What do you like best about the product?
Crowdstrike is lightweight in performance impact, but a heavyweight in protection. The amount of detail that it can pull off of the endpoint, determine actions that are being taken, and the ability to completely isolate the endpoint is unmatched. Once the product is installed, which is super easy, it auto-updates and becomes maintenance-free. On top of that, you can add functionality and not have to install another agent - local Firewall management, device lockdown, vulnerability detection\review (Spotlight). The icing on the cake is using the Falcon Complete service - they do all of the work for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the Mac features stayed up to date with the Windows and now LInux features. We have 20% of our end users with Macs. While the main Crowdstrike Falcon product works well, we do not get support for Firewall, Device Lockdown, or Spotlight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously, we had another endpoint protection tool. It did a great job, but working for an engineering company - almost all users would complain about the performance impact to their endpoint. Everyone knew it was there. During our POC testing, we pushed this out to several engineer endpoints and after a week they called to ask us when we were going to push it to them. They did not even notice that it was there and we were already throwing test files at it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The easiest answer is "test it". Work on a POC, get it running on a few devices and then throw test files at it. Compare it with your current or other contenders. Review what the user experience is, what the admin or operations team experience is. You will not be disappointed. Very simple to stand up a POC.

Peace of mind knowing I have a trusted Endpoint solution to protect the office PCs
What do you like best about the product?
Off the bat I was pleasantly surprised at CrowdStrike's support, they have been fast and efficient to get back with any issues I've had. Very easy to manage as a small IT team
What do you dislike about the product?
The dash board use to be clunky and cluttered but has since been cleaned up. Made a lot of it very user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Out biggest problem was having such a small IT team that we could not always monitor every PC efficiently. CrowdStrike has made it very possible recently by allows us to setup notifications for any activity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommended for any company but particularly a company that doesn't have someone dedicated to cyber security.
User friendly management console, technology focused, the best threat hunting mechanism.

All looks good compared to other existing EndPoint technologies..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Daily Threat hunting, EndPoint AV management, Vulnerability management and Inventory management concepts /technologies i do utilize on regular basis.

What do you dislike about the product?
nothing truly to dislike, dashboards can be overwhelming initially.
having access via a mobile app might be useful but the feature set would need to be limited, mostly for notifications and mini dash boards
initially we weren't able to monitor our Linux devices but there have been improvements regarding that.

Crowdstrike
What do you like best about the product?
The security detection system and malware learning
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing at all the software has been great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
a lot of threats have been solved before anything happened
Been a very Happy Customer for about 3 years now.
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it stops the bad actors and gives me the tools I need to respond. We rolled out CS in a couple of months to over 10 thousand customers. We were a McAfee Customer for almost 20 years and could not be more satisfied with CS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to figure out what addition services we own, versus what we need to purchase. We have had several outages in the cloud, almost like they had to increase capacity, not a big deal, but annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Removed multiple, resource intensive agents on computers. Getting advanced threat protection.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend this product.
The IR tool that you want on your side, making IR simpler since 2011.
What do you like best about the product?
The all-in-one capability of the tool, one sensor gets rid of so many other UI's. The tool collects so much information about the endpoint that the sky is the limit on what problems can be solved. Having SPL built into the tool makes our IR lives easier and allows us to not learn a new query language. Having data is great but making it actionable is where CrowdStrike thrives in this area, having multiple API's to ensure integrations can be easily done allows small businesses have comparable IR programs to large enterprises where there are 50+ employees in the security team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be daunting to navigate the functionality, since the tool does so much. Improvements could be made with the UI, it's a lot of data thrown into the tool. For the cost of the tool training should be free, if you want better practitioners/advocates for your tool invest in them! They are going to go to another company and demand for CS to make their life easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility, visibility, and more visibility. Before CS there was no visibility, after CS workflows were made, alerts were being responded too, we've created a stronger footprint through CrowdStrike EDR. Better team collaboration it's not just for the IR team, the network team uses the data, cloud operations teams use it, and security upper management uses it to make the security posture better. The API's are straightforward and can be easily integrated with Splunk and other security tools to make the security tool environment better through automation. Automation is the most critical aspect of the security program and upper management demands that, CrowdStrike enables security teams to be better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with the market leader, they are so focused and dialed in its unbelievable. Having them on your side is crucial to fight the bad guys.
Crowdstrike Deep Protection for your Network
What do you like best about the product?
Spotlight gives us the ability to know immediately when software with known vulnerabilities are installed on endpoints. By drilling down you can see the risks associated with the suspected software as well as suggestion for remediation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike, but...
I was, at first, daunted by the Falcon portal, but once I went through the training and set thru a few webinars I realized it is not as complicated as it first seemed. Looking at it now I feel the setup is very logically arranged.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By moving away from the traditional anti-virus that constantly scans on systems, eating their precious resources our system became noticeably faster after the transition to Falcon.
