Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
Record GAAP and non-GAAP profitability
So we feel really good about it and that’s -- to us, it’s still a growing market
And the Humio team that we acquired has just done a fantastic job and we’ve taken it to the next level
So, George, really impressive results this week
You continue to exceed people’s expectations
I think just, in general, phenomenal execution to our team
But when you look at some of the other players in the market that are $30 a month, we’re $20 for the year and we think we’ve got a better product
We believe we’ve got the right licensing mechanisms to be able to effectively compete
So I think there’s a lot to come in that area, but in general it’s been very sticky and very good for customers to realize we’re open, our competitors are closed
Then you combine the piece of cloud workload protection with CSPM, now with application security posture management, now with data security posture management, which we just acquired with Flow and we believe we’ve got the best cloud offering in the market
So public cloud ARR surpassed $400 million, net new ARR growing 200%
And we and our customers who have been using it are really excited about that
But ultimately, I think the best platforms win and we think it’s going to be us
And again, we believe we’ve got the right product
So that surpassed $150 million in ARR in the latest quarter
Today it’s over $300 million ARR and more than doubling year-on-year
We basically said we’re going to take their technology with a great team and we’re going to carefully rewrite it into our agent, because our brand promise to our customers is single agent architecture
I think the ability to continue to scale and have best-in-class economics, unit economics, is really important to us and then obviously that accrues value and generates cash flow
We haven’t fully monetized that and that’s okay because we really wanted to build critical mass around it and I think we have some really good opportunities in the future to harvest that more
So that is, I think, a huge opportunity for us, and I was actually on a Board call yesterday in between meetings talking to an entire Board just about that and they’re a customer of ours
So we think that is going to be best in class in the industry and we can’t be more excited for the team and the technology
So this is a really powerful solution when you use it
But it’s the single agent, the ability to collect data at scale that then unlocks all of the other modules because we’ve already collected the data and that gives you the leverage in the gross margin, almost every other module we add is pure gross margin
The ingest was incredibly expensive and they said, we want something better, and there’s been some catalysts in the market with acquisitions and things of that nature
So just in that one area of endpoint protection, there’s such a huge runway to be able to convert customers over
Almost $3.5 billion ARR growing 34% year-on-year
There’s been some pretty strong early traction since you launched your Falcon conference
But what we’re going to see just in general with generative AI is the ability to actually prevent and identify these attacks, which is great
So what they basically said is, we want better, faster, cheaper
Once we did that, then we went mainstream with the sales force and then all of a sudden, you know, it was one of the fastest growing modules in the history of CrowdStrike, because all you need to do is turn it on
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
So overall, the problem is there
There’s a problem
So they were not quite happy about that
Record net new ARR growing 27% in a time where a lot of software companies in general are struggling to grow new bookings
But what we found and what I found there is that you had inferior products that were being bundled into a best-of-suite and it wasn’t a great outcome for the customer
So clearly no signs of slowdown or fatigue, if you will
It’s expensive to manage
There’s an issue
When we think about those requirements, they’re pretty stiff
And security really has come from the backroom to the boardroom because now there’s real impact
It’s -- when people see it in action, they’re blown away
There’s not enough skilled security people
Just could you respond to some of those concerns that the market might get more competitive? Thank you
And it was just that missing, what I thought, generational security company
And a key part of our technology is, we never lose the context from the endpoint or the workload as it gets to the cloud
The challenge you always have is the IT teams want their own stuff and the security teams want their own stuff
So for me, I love markets that there’s a lot of dissatisfaction with a lot of legacy players and in our world, there really isn’t a modern technology, particularly on the endpoint
But -- so you’ve seen a lot of companies who have attempted to become platforms in cybersecurity and have come up short
You had some major breaches, MGM, Caesars, et cetera, ransomware attacks almost doubled from last year
