Crowdstrikes University portal helped me a lot to understand and learn how attacks work and how we investigate each detection and investigation. NG-SIEM has provided a lot of insights of other 3rd party products, which has increased my knowledge of other security products. Pros Frequent Updatations for each module, working on customer and vendor ideas or reviews to improve the product and user experience. Great enhancement in each module, which involves: - NG-SIEM module providing a large scale of 3rd party supported products along with pre-defined templates and parsers, along with an AI-supported custom parser creation tool, which can now compete with other NG-SIEM products. - In-depth protection for Data Protection, including the newly introduced Data at Rest feature to scan data using the created classifications on static files. - Identity Protection, which is easy to integrate and create policies, focusing on more of IT hygiene, identity-based actions, or multifactor authentications and much more, with a very user-friendly UI. - Granular automation tasks using Fusion SOAR, that we can create automated tasks across all the modules to automate daily tasks, which saves a lot of each analyst's time. - EDR's most important capability is its lightweight agent, along with its RTR capability, which is remote access and modification of files and running commands and scripts using the CrowdStrike cloud tenant without any physical interactions. Very easy to use Device control, along with a combined ID, which is very greatful to create exclusions and policies. Cons \- The most required feature is the sensor heartbeat, which allows users to manually update policies, which helps a lot while testing and troubleshooting. - When investigating a major incident or detection, it is at times difficult to understand what triggered the attack or the source of it, as it takes an in-depth inspection to understand the source. Switched from [SentinelOne](https://www.capterra.com/p/152564/Endpoint-Protection-Platform/) Sentinel One isn't as good as crowdstrike in terms of accessibility and protection.

Over the console, I worked with both workstations and server's endpoints that are working fine with all activities. When we are running all the supported sensors with all location systems there will be a continuous protection and performing tasks like threat detection, endpoint detection and incidents. CrowdStrike team support during when we are facing some with sensors, endpoint troubleshooting, upgradation on versions. I will recommend highly effective endpoint security solutions for particular suites business company that required in advance. Pros Regarding this product and service, I mostly like the way of protection, communication through endpoint systems on Falcon console and excellent support from Falcon Team. We all have required features that help us to develop our organization. Cons On Falcon console some of the OSFM channel updates are not getting pushed to the endpoint systems, due to this the system is reflecting in RFM mode, due to this some functionalities are not getting triggered. On this issue we are working from many days to solve. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

AU Anonymous User Analyst Computer Networking ### "The best in class EDR solution" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 7, 2025 We implemented CrowdStrike Falcon to provide endpoint detection and response (EDR), SOC visibility, and managed threat hunting. It enabled us to quickly triage and contain incidents, use Falcon X for threat attribution, and generate IOC reports for internal and client use. The advantageous platform reduced our overall MTTR (Mean Time to Respond) time significantly. CrowdStrike is the gold standard for endpoint protection and threat intelligence. Its modular nature allows flexibility for both small and large SOC teams. If you want to enhance your defense posture, reduce incident response times, and use elite threat hunting capabilities, CrowdStrike Falcon is a must-have platform. Pros Cloud-native architecture — rapid deployment, reduced resource consumption Robust, real-time endpoint visibility and forensic capability AI-based threat deection with very low false positives Great UI/UX - even for Tier 1 analysts Effective game changer as an additional resource for SIEM and SOAR OverWatch provides massive value for 24/7 Threat Hunting Cons Premium modules (e.g., Falcon Complete, Spotlight) can be costly May require integration with a SIEM (like Splunk or LogScale) for full visibility Some modules (like identity protection) are not available in all plans Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
