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.

It has APIs that are useful for integration with third party solutions as well as for absorbing large volumes of data from our servers, networks and apps.

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.

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.

  • The playbooks are valuable. They are the core component. Being able to implement and build a code process to work through and scale out what we want to do is valuable
  • Before its use, analyzing each email would take at least 15 to 20 minutes, with some complex cases taking up to 30 minutes...With the automation provided by Splunk Phantom, we could significantly reduce the amount of time and human effort required to complete this task
