"Excellent and seamless security solution"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

The open-source core makes it very transparent and secure: it does not entirely anchor you.

Modern and way more effective alternative to Fail2ban. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Not much to be said: still may be missing a few plug-ins for some CMS, but it already covers most use cases! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fail2Ban 2.0, but much better"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

CrowdSec is very powerful when you have only one machine to protect. But if you have to preserve much more devices in your infrastructure, the best feature is the ability to centralize the decisions, and thus, CrowdSec does native mitigation of the banned IPs. In addition, the scenarios system is easy to learn and strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Nothing, really. This software does its work very well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Crowdsec is a real good solution to secure your services"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

It looks like Fail2ban on steroids, and is indeed a very interesting solution as it allows you to benefit from a wide list of "bad clients" to ensure your service is available to your real clients! Easy to install and configure, it can be running in just minutes and gives you a grea insight on what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Nothing seems to be a problem here! It just works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Innovative"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

They have come with a highly innovative offering that has no comparable on the market. This idea of sharing the thread data through a web of users is so elegant that I do not understand that it not largely deployed. IT may well be a megatrend in the sense that cybersecurity could use its architecture in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Hard to say since I haven't used all the tools made available by this product yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jean Devaux of CrowdSec

Thanks for your feedback Gilles. Now that the tool is stable, up and running, let's make sure to have it largely deployed!

"Crowsec is an easy to use Intrusion Detection System IDS"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

I love that it's developed in GOLANG and makes this firewall fast and efficient. I love that language, But the more important is that the firewall works as an effective layer of protection. It's easy to use, and the dashboard is friendly and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

I can't find any part of this product that I don't like

Please note that I'm a new user. We will see when the time comes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An innovative approach of security"
4.5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

I particularly appreciate Open Source (no hidden gimmicks) and the collaborative approach that makes it a quite strong yet cost-effective solution. One can implement the system without deep knowledge of security and attacks, given the already available scenarios and bouncers. But the most interesting I find their community IP blacklist, blocking the attacks before it even happens on your system, nice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Still evaluating but found nothing tricky yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Essential Tool any Linux Ecosystem"
5/5

The herd immunity and sharing of information regarding "bad-agents" between customers is a first in this area, and it's highly effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Nothing to dislike except perhaps that more people should be using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jean Devaux of CrowdSec

Hi Dyllan,
