User Testimonials
	CrowdStrike Falcon	CyberArk Privileged Access Management
Likelihood to Recommend	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	I always recommend CyberArk based on my experiences at several different jobs and industries. It does a great job of helping you create all kinds of use cases and approval flows for accessing and using privileged accounts. It also does a great job securing local admin passwords on servers. End-users of the system are able to quickly and easily start utilizing the more secure method of obtaining credentials in minimal time with minimal overhead/tax on their work time.

Cons	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	The initial product cost is a little on the higher side, which might turn off small & medium enterprises. As it talks about security, it has a lot of hardware/software requirements for the initial setup, which might make the rollout timeline a little lengthy. Product should be easy to customize based on different industry's needs. Incentivized Sujeet Swain Senior Consultant Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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	No answers on this topic
Usability	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	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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	I've been an engineer and architect in the Identity space for many years and CyberArk is the #1 tool I've found to help me secure accounts and credentials. I've architected CyberArk and built the implementation from the ground up twice in previous roles and found it here upon my arrival at my current job. I wouldn't want to have to live without it as it helps me sleep at night Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
In-Person Training	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	No answers on this topic
Online Training	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	No answers on this topic

The cloud-native architecture and automated features have improved operational efficiency. The platform's real-time visibility and threat hunting capabilities have drastically improved incident response times.
