Falcon

Network monitoring and endpoint protection platform

About Falcon

Falcon is a cloud-based endpoint protection platform designed to help enterprises detect, manage, and remediate threats in real-time to prevent data loss. Features include event recording, alerts, prioritization, credential management, and access control.

Using the antivirus, Falcon Prevent, IT administrators can identify unknown malware or ransomware and block its spread via unpatched vulnerabilities. Network engineers can use the threat intelligence module, Falcon X to automatically investigate incidents, develop countermeasures using YARA and SNORT rules, and monitor social media, paste sites, DDoS attacks, and botnets for malicious activities. The firewall management module enables users to create, manage, enforce, and modify firewall policies.

Using the dashboard, supervisors can view all unmanaged applications running across the environment, check for encrypted hosts and track asset inventory and application usage. Security teams can monitor the vulnerability status of devices deployed on-premise or in the cloud. It also offers integration with various third-party platforms such as Akamai, Cloudflare, Illusive Networks, Okta, and more.

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with Falcon, with its ease of use and commendable anomaly detection.

Pros

Detailed analysis of processes, logon attempts, and great ability to sync with Splunk and Active Directory. Great dashboard to add to the best parts. The falcon complete team does a great work to ensure endpoint security is well

Cons

The falcon complete team sometimes does not provide additional details about False Positive events or why a software was classified malicious.

Crowdstrike Falcon is easy to use and manage, intuitive, incredibly powerful and intelligent, uses a bare minimum of system resources, has a very effective uninstall protection, and is very easy to deploy.

Cons

No cons. I highly recommend this product.

We liked it. There are a couple features only available to Windows endpoints, but those features are slated to be on Mac OS X shortly. We are waiting on that.
As a Splunk user, the integrated Splunk dashboards in the Falcon console are really nice and easy to use.

Pros

Good interface, lots of Splunk dashboards integrated in the dashboards. Good drilldown capability. Love the process execution tracking functionality

Cons

The interface took a couple hours (tops) to get used to, but it wasn't bad. There was a little snag with Mac OS X Catalina, but that's been resolved.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Falcon

Needed better functionality that BD wasn't providing.

Reasons for Switching to Falcon
