“Like most of you, I don't use antivirus software and haven't for years. Modern Macs (and PCs) are pretty secure by default.However, with the rise of AI-assisted exploits/phishing and supply chain attacks, I've been reconsidering. We recently had an incident at work where CrowdStr...”
“I love crowdstrike, its amazing. However, its Linux agent isn't the best. I created an open-source Linux EDR solution and I loved it. So I wanted to know why aren't Crowdstrike copying it, collobarating with it or just using it? I think it can dramatically improve the Linux agent...”
“Corporate mandate to use windows. Crowdstrike scans make doing anything on the command line a non-starter. For example, adding mise to my powershell prompt adds multiple seconds! to each powershell command execution... it's just not even feasible at that point to work in Windows....”
“Well, the problem is that we train them to solve problems and follow instructions given, and so if you ask them to do something and they work through the logic and figure that the easiest way is to do something else like delete the production database, if they have access to do s...”
“Okay sorry to hear that. Sounds like Crowdstrike sucked for many reasons, then. I have never ran it or even seen that myself.The OS however I have used for 23 years. I know it quite well and it's robust.”

Discussion around CrowdStrike over the past four weeks remained modest in volume, with only a handful of active mentions, but the tone was notably mixed and at times sharply critical. Complaint themes dominated the conversation, with bugs and reliability surfacing as the most recurring points of frustration. Several commenters expressed that the software imposed real performance costs on everyday workflows, with one mention describing how command-line operations became practically unusable under active scanning. This kind of friction-driven negativity colored a meaningful share of the conversation.
The score trajectory tells a story of instability rather than steady recovery. An early period at a very low point gave way to a modest climb, followed by a pullback in early May, then a gradual stabilization into the mid-range, and finally a more optimistic uptick in the most recent data point. That late rise came from a very small number of mentions, so commenters may not read it as a durable shift. The overall direction is cautiously upward from the four-week floor, but confidence in that trend appeared thin given the low mention counts propping it up.
Sentiment was divided most visibly around the question of trust and legitimacy. Some mentions framed CrowdStrike in neutral or even favorable terms, listing it matter-of-factly alongside peer security tools in professional contexts. A smaller number referenced it positively in competitor comparisons, including stock performance discussions. But countervailing voices were harder-edged, with at least one commenter expressing disbelief that the company retained customers at all following a widely-discussed prior incident, suggesting lingering reputational weight in the background of any current discussion.
AI quality and performance slowness each drew individual callouts, but bugs and reliability together accounted for the heaviest complaint load. The overall tone suggested grudging professional use rather than enthusiasm, with criticism tending to be practical and specific rather than abstract.
