Owner at Byte Solutions Inc.
Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…
Sachin Bode - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at IFB Industries Ltd
Managed detection has strengthened our defenses and has provided real-time threat visibility
Sometimes we are facing performance issues with the end-user systems, and sometimes it is blocking a few of our applications, which we later resolve with the team. Recently, we were having our call center application running on the systems, which suddenly stopped working because CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR was not allowing it to run. After removing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, it started working, and then later we added the application URLs and the communication URLs to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR allow list, so it started working. Some processor utilization needs to be dropped because now Windows systems are consuming more CPU and RAM than earlier. Windows 10 was fine, but Windows 11 is consuming more CPU and RAM. If CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is contributing to consuming the resources, then other applications are taking a lot of time to run. In Windows 11, we are facing this issue sometimes, and we need more powerful systems than earlier. I would also appreciate improvements on the pricing side. Some of our locations where people are isolated, we are not buying CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR due to the pricing. If there is a nominal reduction in the price, then we will go for everyone in the organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the lightweight design, easily manageable portal, and minimal IT maintenance required."
"One differentiator of CrowdStrike is that it's nearly what I would call zero-touch on the workstation."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management."
"The detection and investigation capabilities are my favorite parts of the solution, and it has good threat intelligence and threat-hunting features."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has stable security."
"The AI and the group knowledge base that they get from having multiple clients in the cloud is very useful to us, as it helps keep us safe from attacks by allowing them to apply a broader knowledge base to our protection for our company."
"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."
"The Falcon Spotlight is a most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"There are some parts of this solution that are too slow."
"Crowdstrike could be cheaper. It's pricier than Carbon Black."
"We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity."
"The support for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is not good. They take a very long time to respond, it takes 24 to 28 hours for them to get back to us."
"The solution should include some sort of DLP capabilities."
"The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are in the way the agent updates. The overall management of endpoints needs to be better."
"I want better integration with other security solutions; integrating with third-party apps wasn't as seamless as I expected."
"I would much rather see more refinement and investment into the prevention side of the equation, though CrowdStrike has a good engine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"The licenses are sold per user."
"The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately."
"If you are looking from an IT standpoint, you get what you pay for. There is proactive monitoring in addition to the insurance policy. They do that better than others. Would you like it cheaper? Yes, but at what cost?"
"There is a license needed to use the solution. The price of the solution is fair."
"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."
