CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS

What do you like best about the product?

Crowd Strike Falcon is one of the strongest endpoint detection and response platform on the market and one of the hardest to fit cleanly into the MSP. P and L
It costed us roughly $60 per device per year entry level. Up to $200 to 400 per end point. Per year for fully managed Falcon, complete at scale. That was the really good part about this.

What do you dislike about the product?

The biggest drawbacks are the cost and the complexity, especially for SMBs with heavy books. And the July 2024 outage is still fresh in my mind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It works well across almost any application scenario. You can deploy a single sensor to Windows, macOS, or Linux machines, and that cross-platform approach is the best part of the UI for me. The sensor then feeds telemetry to CrowdStrike’s cloud, where the detection logic lives. Because of that, there’s no on-prem management service to patch, no signature database to push, and no heavy scanning engine chewing through client CPU.

What do you like best about the product?

Crowdstrike for large organization like us is really helpful, we have large enterprise solutions and that too multiple platforms. It becomes very important to have unified solutioning and it goes across cloud services and VM to ensure it checks across and calls out vulnerabilities, detects malware and ransome attacks and many more risk.

What do you dislike about the product?

It is a good tool, but it has its own problems as well. It is a very expensive tool which requires complex pricing enterprise license setup. It is a good tool with lots of features, but we have to purchase everything, but we are unable to use everything as it doesnt fit at all.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have multiple platform solutions like SAP, IBM STERLING, SALESFORCE etc. and we do not have to deploy multiple security tools to keep our landscape safe. One important thing which we are able to do is real time monitoring and threat detection, which helps us to manage critical risk. Performance wise its really fast and it adapts quickly on new solution deployments as well.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most is the easy-to-use dashboard and the visibility it provides across the cloud environment. It helps identify security risks and misconfigurations quickly. The integration with other CrowdStrike products is smooth, making day to day monitoring and investigation much easier

What do you dislike about the product?

The product is good overall, but it takes some time for new users to understand all the features. Some settings and policies can be confusing at first. Better documentation with more practical examples would make it easier to get started

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us find security issues and misconfigurations in our cloud environment quickly. Having everything in one place makes monitoring easier and saves time. Overall, it improves visibility and helps us respond to security issues faster.

What do you like best about the product?

From what I’ve seen, my customers really like the Falcon sensor because it’s lightweight and runs silently in the background. They also appreciate the unified console, since it lets them manage everything in one place. It adds speed to the investigation and root cause analysis. It is also easy to deploy.

What do you dislike about the product?

There can be a fairly steep learning curve, since the platform is feature-rich and covers many areas of cloud security. Pricing may also be a hurdle for some companies.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives me peace of mind knowing it provides protection against issues that can’t always be seen. It cuts through the noise and helps developers find and fix security flaws faster, which ultimately translates into cost savings.

What do you like best about the product?

Crowdstrike is one of the best options when it comes to cloud security. The telemetry is clear and to the point, and it’s received with very low MTTD.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don’t have any dislikes when it comes to Crowdstrike Falcon Cloud Security.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With other tools we have observed very high MTTD where it is low with Crowdstrike falcon cloud security and it has very seamless integration with other siem tools as well.

What do you like best about the product?

What stood out to me was how much it cut through the noise. A lot of security tools love to throw hundreds of alerts at you and call it a day, but Falcon Cloud Security did a better job of pointing me toward the things that actually felt worth investigating. I also liked that everything lived in one place instead of bouncing between different dashboards. It wasn't completely plug-and-play, but once it was up and running, it became one of those tools I didn't have to constantly think about which, honestly, is exactly what I want from a security platform.

What do you dislike about the product?

My biggest complaint is that some of the findings could use a little more context. Every now and then I'd get an alert and have to spend extra time figuring out why it mattered before deciding what to do with it. The interface also has a lot going on, so there was definitely a learning curve at first. It's powerful once you get comfortable with it, but I wouldn't call it the kind of tool you master in an afternoon.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me, it's mostly about having better visibility into what's happening across our cloud environment without feeling like I have to constantly chase problems. Instead of discovering misconfigurations or risky permissions after they've become an issue, I can catch them earlier and deal with them before they turn into bigger headaches. The biggest benefit has honestly been peace of mind. I spend less time wondering what I might be missing and more time actually fixing the things that matter.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like best about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its unified visibility across cloud environments. It helps identify misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats from a single dashboard, making it much easier to monitor and respond to security issues without switching between multiple tools.

What do you dislike about the product?

What I dislike is that the platform can feel overwhelming at first because of the number of features and security findings. It also comes at a premium price, which may be difficult for smaller organizations to justify.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security helps us identify cloud misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and potential threats before they become security incidents. This improves our security posture, reduces manual monitoring, and allows us to respond to risks much faster.

What do you like best about the product?

I like its real-time threat detection, cloud-native security, centralized visibility, and easy-to-use dashboard. It helps monitor cloud environments effectively, detect threats quickly, and streamline incident response.

What do you dislike about the product?

While CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers robust security capabilities, the initial setup and configuration can be complex for organizations new to cloud security. Some advanced features also have a learning curve and may require additional training to fully utilize.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security helps identify security risks across cloud environments by providing continuous monitoring, real-time threat detection, and centralized visibility.
