The best features CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR offers are a lot of information that you get every time you get an alert. There is so much telemetry that the sensor is pulling, so it is really easy to figure out what is going on on the computer. Since we are MDR customers, so many of those different alerts are already worked for us. We still look at them and check on them, but normally by the time we get to them, that status is already closed because it has already been checked on. Out of all those features, the one that I find myself relying on the most day-to-day is having that person on your team to help augment your staff. Since I am the only one on the team, it is super nice and super helpful knowing that we have someone else on the team, that being the MDR team that we have. That is probably the biggest difference, knowing that even if I do not understand a specific alert that comes in, I can send a chat to the Falcon Complete team through the support message, and they will explain in pretty great detail about what the alert is doing and if there is any extra remediation I need to do. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has impacted my organization positively because we have not been hacked yet, and that is a great thing. There are several municipalities or other organizations in our area and our state that have been hit, that obviously do not use CrowdStrike. We obviously do use CrowdStrike, and we have not been hacked, and so that is the biggest impact that you could ask for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"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."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"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."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"The prevention capabilities hold the utmost value."
"Falcon's threat intel is strong, and the solution allows our customers to automate their site intelligence. We can integrate Falcon X with the other platforms we use, like FireEye, Insight, Cybertech, and Kaspersky."
"If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has a very lightweight agent that provides signatureless detection protection from known and unknown malware or ransomware which is very useful."
"Falcon Complete's best feature is detection, and the interface is also user-friendly."
"There are many different modules with this solution where vulnerability and inventory management can be carried out. The solution has a good dashboard and offers a lot of insights into your systems."
"Overwatch is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"It has good visibility, works well, and it is fast."
 

Cons

"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"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. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"The solution is geared more towards larger organizations, so it can be difficult for organizations with smaller budgets to utilize the solution."
"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."
"It really is an expensive product in the South African market."
"In the CrowdStrike, you have some sort of limited information and for the in-depth information you need to take it, Carbon Black provides that particular thing on the first view."
"I would like to see them introduce DLP."
"It would be good if they fleshed it out a bit more, possibly with additional areas such as security awareness training. They could build that in. They're leveraging the same endpoint base that they have the security software on, but then they could offer a centralized portal or hub whereby someone like me could leverage it to track and put out security awareness training for people on all the common topics. I could have a centralized hub for everyone's results from that training and for the evidence that training occurred. It would be relatively straightforward, but it would add a lot for people in the compliance area. It would be a great expansion."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"The one issue with Falcon Complete is that it can't be run manually if you find any viruses or malicious files in a post."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"There is a license for this solution and everything is included. However, The price of the could be lower."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"Falcon Complete could be a bit cheaper."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"The licensing cost for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is fair, and I would give it a five out of five. You have to pay per device/user."
"It is not cheap, and it is not overpriced. It positions itself in the upper half of pricing in the market. You can find a product that claims to do the same and is super cheap, but it'll be not at all good. You can find something that says it does everything in the world, and it is the best thing since sliced bread, but it would be incredibly expensive. Falcon Complete is neither of those. It is always best to go somewhere in the middle, but it is not in the middle. It is in the upper half. So, it is by no means cheap, but it is worth it. Its pricing is well fixed. Given what you get in return, you wouldn't feel bad paying for it. They have a great licensing model. You can add extra bells and whistles if you want. There is that ability to reduce the price by turning off certain features if you wish."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"It's expensive. Its price varies because it's a modular solution."
