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	Mandiant Advantage Threat Intelligence is well suited to data enrichment tasks and surfacing additional potential indicators of compromise based on observables found in an environment. Difficulties arise if the given data is classified in multiple platform modules, each requiring a different subscription. When tracking an indicator of compromise and wanting to see what actors it relates to and further understand the actor, you often end up with one side of the data or the other. IOCs with little campaign context or actor details with no tactical data. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

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.

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.
