Avantages

ease of deployment, less false positives and amazing GUI.

Inconvénients

This product is bt expensive and they work on their customer service.

Avantages

Very light solution to run on the computers, it is just a client that alerts the portal about the virus on computers and take some actions based on what were configured inside the portal.
Easy to install/deploy, not so many options to choose, it is very straight to the point, also the options and configurations inside management portal are pretty easy to use.
However, it updates automatically on the computers and servers.

Inconvénients

Sometimes it is not update automatically, and I had some problems to remove the software, the key that is used to install/remove fails sometimes. I can mention that the computers take some time to appear inside the management portal, and you do not know if it is working properly or not. Another thing that you can miss, you cannot run a scan on your computer manually, to find viruses or other malicious files, it is supposed to be monitored all the time through the portal.

Avantages

It detects a lot of threats and his easy to manage

Inconvénients

I didn’t find any cons for this product, really…

Avantages

It's really easy and fast to install the Falcon Sensor in the protected hosts.
Its resource consumption is barely noticeable -this was the very specific problem we had with our traditional AV security which motivated us to look into new generation technologies.
Whenever we have some malware detected, we have all the information we need about how it got into the host and what it attempted to do -whether processes were spawned, files or registry attempted to be seen or modified, if it tried to establish network connections, etc.- so our IT, servers and security teams have all the information they need to improve the systems hardening.

Inconvénients

Falcon provides only the antivirus / antimalware capabilites, so all the other functions we had with the previous technology are not available, like firewall, IPS, DLP, mail filtering, web filtering, etc. So, in the end we kept the McAfee agent to retain some of them, which means we are spending a little more on technology, but it gets balanced because less work is needed for malware diagnose.

Avantages

Good interface, lots of Splunk dashboards integrated in the dashboards. Good drilldown capability. Love the process execution tracking functionality

Inconvénients

The interface took a couple hours (tops) to get used to, but it wasn't bad. There was a little snag with Mac OS X Catalina, but that's been resolved.

Avantages

I appreciate how easily the network is monitored, including both incoming and outgoing traffic.

Inconvénients

Although network monitoring is simple, there is still room for improvement in terms of the graph user interface.

Avantages

Falcon is a very great threat detector, it detect problems with out scanning the computer, which make it very light for computer ressources. The console is nice, and it's quite easy to see problem

Inconvénients

if I have to say something : It's easy problem, but it could be nice to have resolution tips also.

Avantages

Crowdtsrike falcon agent is very lightweight and has lower resource utilization in endpoints. Further it supports all the endpoint operating Systems. Interfaces are simple and even non-technical people can understand. Dashboards are informative and graphical representation is perfect with breakdown approach. It provides remote control of the endpoint through the command line and one of the most needed options which most other Anti viruses don't have. It has threat intelligence with correlation and can map endpoints with an incident to provide the big picture.

Inconvénients

Crowdstrike falcon sensor update is frequent and bandwidth utilization is a bit high since each and every node needs updates. When you are in a limited bandwidth with a higher number of PC’s this will cause too high bandwidth utilization and can interrupt your operation. When you. Connecting through proxy server machine detection is taking long.time Crowdstrike doesn’t support Windows XP. So if you have windows XP PCs in your environment you need some other antivirus to protect them.

Avantages

It takes less storage to install on client machine and protection is good compared from other's. It is really next generation antivirus.

Inconvénients

All is good and no need to improvement as per my point of view.

Avantages

The support team is very responsive and helps guide us through any issues we have. They also help clear up what is a rather complex, information filled portal.

Inconvénients

There is a ton of information that can be overwhelming if you are not well versed in security. Fortunately the support teams guide you through any confusion you may have.

Avantages

We have been using since last 6 months, till now everything working fine. its take less storage to install in client machine.

Inconvénients

As per my observation Falcon is working smoothly.

Avantages

Crowdstrike is a modern endpoint protection software. Instead of guarding against a known set of viruses, it detects malicious behavior as well as protecting endpoints from known viruses, ransomware and malware. The admin console is logically and thorough.

Inconvénients

Support for Mac and endpoints in steady state environments needs more development. There are some unknowns about duplication of endpoint entries in the console for Macintosh clients.

Avantages

I'm not sure about the monitoring portion of the solution - it's making us work overtime to assist them to clamp down on ransomware.

Inconvénients

Almost everything - they make us work at night/over the weekend. Instead of deleting the threat and rolling back, it locks down our servers. It would then require IT to work on the backend.

Avantages

Small Application to install in endpoints. No virus signatures to download. just a sensor to monitor all the process that's running.

Inconvénients

All policies has to be managed using the cloud portal. Need internet to everytime I needed to change a policy.

Avantages

Detailed analysis of processes, logon attempts, and great ability to sync with Splunk and Active Directory. Great dashboard to add to the best parts. The falcon complete team does a great work to ensure endpoint security is well

Inconvénients

The falcon complete team sometimes does not provide additional details about False Positive events or why a software was classified malicious.

Avantages

Crowdstrike handles endpoint security monitoring and detection better than any solution available.

Inconvénients

The rate at which they add partner integrations

Avantages

This is a managed service with knowledgeable people and resources that help identify risks and malware live!

Inconvénients

The price is a bit high but since the service is managed and the set it and forget nature of the service makes it worth while.

Avantages

Good overall endpoint protection. They also offer sort of SOC services in which they monitor your environment for threats and report on it.

Inconvénients

Very expensive solution...the most expensive I've seen in the market. The solution only supports OS that are newer and does not work with legacy OS like server 2003 and XP

Avantages

Crowdstrike is a very good next generation anti virus for our company. Simple install and great management platform.

Avantages

The user interface is very intuitive and easy to use yet very comprehensive. Every detail about your environment is readily available along with any vulnerabilities there may be.

Inconvénients

I can't honestly think of any cons at the moment. I've used the product for several weeks now and it has covered every need I have.
