"Threat and remediation ready Solution by CrowdStrike"

"Marrying High Performance Cloud Infrastructure With High Performance Cloud Securtity"
What do you like best about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security?

Crowdstrike Cloud Security has enabled more profound insights and visibility into processes running within our cloud infrastructure. The product and the people at Crowdstrike have both helped drive value by highlighting what may be a true risk and fine-tuning the alerting thresholds of what should be allowed and disallowed to run on our systems. With Crowdstrike Cloud Security implemented across our entire cloud environment, we now have a trusted sense of what is going on 24/7 with continuous monitoring + Crowdstrike's Overwatch. It is also reassuring that we can automatically prevent/kill any processes which are deemed to be anomalous and/or suspicious behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security?

There is a lot functionality within Crowdstrike to take advantage of and distribute across a security team. This is not necessarily a dislike, but is a very powerful and useful tool that should be staffed accordingly to unlock the full value of which it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Secure your solution and Determine risk posture"
What do you like best about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security?

A comprehensive endpoint security solution that offers advanced threat detection, prevention, and response capabilities. One of the standout features of the platform is its use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify and stop threats in real-time.

Most helpful aspects of the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform include its:

Real-time visibility: The platform provides real-time visibility across all endpoints, enabling security teams to quickly identify and respond to potential threats.

Machine learning and behavioral analytics: The use of machine learning and behavioral analytics enables the platform to detect and respond to new and emerging threats that traditional signature-based approaches may miss.

Cloud-based architecture: The platform is cloud-based, which means that it is easy to deploy, manage, and scale. It also means that security teams can access the platform from anywhere, at any time.

Integrated threat intelligence: The platform is integrated with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence, which provides security teams with actionable intelligence on the latest threats and attack techniques.

Automated response capabilities: The platform has built-in automated response capabilities that enable it to quickly contain and remediate threats, reducing the risk of data loss and downtime.

Overall, the upsides of using the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform are that it provides comprehensive endpoint security, uses advanced technologies like machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect and prevent threats, and is easy to deploy and manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security?

Cost: CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform is a premium security solution, and its cost may be prohibitive for some businesses.

Complexity: Some users may find the platform to be complex, particularly if they are not familiar with advanced security technologies or cloud-based solutions.

Dependency on cloud: As a cloud-based solution, the platform may not be suitable for businesses with limited or unreliable internet connectivity. Additionally, there may be concerns about data security and privacy when using a cloud-based security solution.

Limited offline protection: Since the platform relies on cloud connectivity, there may be limited protection when devices are offline or disconnected from the internet.

False positives: Like any security solution, the platform may generate false positives, which can be time-consuming to investigate and resolve.

So it's important to carefully evaluate the pros and cons of any security solution before making a decision. While the CrowdStrike Falcon Endpoint Protection Platform offers many benefits, it may not be the right fit for every business, depending on their specific needs and circumstances.
