User Testimonials
	Alert Logic Managed Detection and Response	CrowdStrike Falcon
Likelihood to Recommend	If you have a web platform or any other exposed system, it's important to have an IDS in place. This can be difficult to do right, and if you're a smaller business, you can't have a team dedicated to managing security. Alert Logic takes that burden, makes sure it's working right, and allows your team to focus on your product. With that in mind, it's not a silver bullet, and I took off one point ONLY because I think it would be harder to justify in a large enterprise with a security team already in place. Maybe there's another product out there that'll solve that use case, but Alert Logic was perfect for our needs. Incentivized John Grosjean DevOps Engineer Read full review	CrowdStrike Falcon is well suited for any size of environment. Large to small, CrowdStrike Falcon does an amazing job. The ability to have the same security as a fortune 500 company and have a solution that sees the same threats that they are seeing is amazing. I do not think that there is a company or environment that wouldn't benefit from the CrowdStrike Falcon solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	The cloud managed service; the cost benefit and 24x7 monitoring The Alert system went from possibly 24 hours to 1 hour The benefit of nothing having to write our own queries Incentivized JE Jamie Elliott Sr. Network Engineer - Contract Work Read full review	The Log analysis is very detailed and easy to use. Prevent and block all type of malwares. Great threat intelligence which is very up-to-date with the recent cyber attacks very user friendly in access and management Automated feature of detecting, taking action and closing incidents using fusion workflow.

Cons	Overall the product and service works well and addresses all our key requirements so we have no real negatives to share. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The Dashboard can become overwhelming at times, too much information to absorb Computers that may have made it out into the field without the endpoint sensor are very difficult to find As with all systems that rely on machine learning false positives occurr Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Crowdstrike has a large suite of tools built for helping the engineers triage and respond to security event whenever identified. The ability to customize the security policies and implement more granular policies to different devices based on the functionality is unmatched. Crowdstrike provides so much of ability in a decent budget which ascertains the value for money or ROI. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	I think it is a complete and very trustful XDR platform, with very few False Positives. It is very well supported by highly skilled professionals on all levels: from pre-sales engineers, Customer Account Managers and support engineers. Incentivized FM Fotis Mastakas Fotis Mastakas Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Support is generally pretty fast and gets right to the issue. We haven't had to use them much, fortunately, but the issues and questions we've had are usually answered quickly. The customer success manager/account manager you're assigned will also follow up with you on a regular cadence to ensure you're getting the most out of the subscription. There's not a whole lot of room to improve, other than the general confusion about what is/what is not covered in custom packages you're subscribed to. The initial purchase took much longer because of a package name changes and realignments of different modules into those packages. Incentivized Randy Munroe Information Security Analyst Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	There is limited amount of learning that can be completed in an in-person training available. In my opinion, the self-paced learning provided by Falcon portal is more useful over in-person training. The support from Falcon is great and useful to overcome difficulties, if any. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	The training provided by Crowdstrike Falcon is complete in terms of the depth of technical knowledge and teaches the users about going through with the platform. There are lots of jargons for different tools that Crowdstrike Falcon has and this training teaches them all which helps in managing the platform better. Plus, the regular knowledge checks are also very helpful for the end user. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	I've found Barkly to be much better than these products at protecting my systems. It does not require the horsepower that these do to run. It uses systems resources well. It protects well. It alerts and updates well. This is a good AV system to have on your endpoints and is a sound financial investment if you are looking to protect your assets from virus/malware/ransomware. Incentivized Nathan Venno IT Director Read full review	We were a former Arctic Wolf customer and feel like they worked more as a team with us. Cylance is what we're looking at possibly migrating to. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	It is pretty complicated to understand for beginner levels when you start to use it. The product is really secure and reliable for any organization. Best side of this software is that it is not like other security programs. Unlike them, this software is stronger and has 24/7 security. Incentivized Wera Michalska Marketing Read full review	CrowdStrike Falcon's proactive threat mitigation has significantly reduced the risk of successful cyber attacks, resulting in tangible savings related to potential data breaches or system compromises.
