Has a steep learning curve, imo
What do you like best about the product?
I've been doing Linux administration and cybersecurity for more than twenty years. I found moving from Fail2Ban to CrowdSec came with a fairly steep learning curve, in my opinion. It lacks a lot of common plugin modules and writing your own requires a lot of moving parts and a new quirky language. For example, OpenVPN is an extraordinarily popular software yet no pre built collection, configuration or bouncer exists for it. I found it was not particularly easy/quick to implement a CrowdSec policy for guarding my OpenVPN ports, unlike with Fail2Ban which can whip up a rule quite quickly and with less files.
I dont think the CrowdSec technical documentation is particularly well fleshed out nor easy to follow in comparison with other open source projects across the space.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not super user friendly to use and implement custom policies for protecting services that do not have a collection, configuration or bouncer available on the CrowdSec Hub
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping to keep my machine more secure by filtering out pre identified malicious IP addresses. It also works in real time to detect and block active attacks.

very useful, well designed and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the capability to protect your infrastructure with a blocklist curated by the community. It runs really efficiently and has no problem to scale.
The monitoring of the alerts on the CrowdSec Console provides an integrated overview of the alerts on all your instances, in a very intuitive manner. When you have a doubt, you can also add comments, and find more about what the community tells about an IP address.
The system is really well designed

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular, the tool is well designed... Maybe the work art around the alpaca is a bit too much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We managed to get rid of IPs spamming our server with an efficient remediation system. It has replaced Fail2Ban on our existing infrastructure and gave us in addition a well-thought monitoring framework.
