User Testimonials
	Blumira	CrowdStrike Falcon
Likelihood to Recommend	Blumira is great for a small IT team in a small to medium sized environment. It gives you unlimited logging (no limit on the number of logs sent) and doesn't require advanced knowledge or expertise in SIEMs to get the system up and running. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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 user interface (for managing, reporting) is intuitive and is easy to use The setup / onboarding process was very easy Support has been wonderful (and personal) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	We've had a few suggestions for improving some of the built-in "workflows" -- steps that we are instructed to take by Blumira for specific "findings" There are a few improvements about reporting I'd like to see 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
