Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

Round-the-clock monitoring has freed our small team and improves our threat response focus
In terms of improvement for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, they just keep going full steam ahead. The biggest room for a house is the room for improvement, but as of right now, I don't have any complaints about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. Additional features that should be included in the next release of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR would be on-demand scanning. That is something we have to do manually. For instance, if a user plugs in a USB device, even though in our environment we have USB devices locked completely, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR will still read those devices even though they can't physically access them. If it does find malicious software, those are manually done still, and that's per the SLA. I have had a few of those that have come up, but those have been few and far between.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has transformed the workload of my internal security team significantly; without it, I wouldn't be able to be here at Fal.Con right now."
"Two of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are the remote terminal and unlimited IoCs."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the real-time visibility into what is happening in your endpoint."
"It has good visibility, works well, and it is fast."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the lightweight design, easily manageable portal, and minimal IT maintenance required."
"As an end-point solution, nothing beats it, to be honest."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete provides complete details of any malicious activity, including the impact date and file source."
"The features of Firewall Management control, combined with controls in NextGen, are the most useful for our clients."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve by having advanced features, such as SOC, and HDR. There would have been a lot of processes involved."
"Like any other solution, a lower price would make CrowdStrike Falcon Complete more appealing."
"They are doing very well in continuously improving their product. The only thing is that it is completely cloud-based, and some customers don't really like that type of approach, but you can only provide such a solution when you have cloud-based intelligence. On the other end, we know that it is sometimes a breaking point for some of the customers. They could potentially have an on-prem or hybrid solution. Any antivirus needs to have its features updated. If there could be a relay between them, it would be helpful, but that's very hard to do. So, you either accept that approach and have the benefit with this little disadvantage."
"Falcon could use more SIEM capabilities, like a central place to monitor all our clients."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"The pricing could be lower; the solution is a bit expensive."
"It would be better if they offered other language options. It's only in English, and in Latin America, we mostly speak Spanish."
"They need to continuously integrate with other security tools such as CyberArk or Mimecast, to cover the entire IT infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"There are different lengths of licenses available, such as three and five years. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions."
"CrowdStrike is more expensive than SentinelOne. Licensing works on the number of agents and the modules you buy. CrowdStrike has different modules, such as Falcon, Falcon Overwatch, Falcon Complete, etc. The pricing depends upon the module that the customer wants. They have different Incident Response (IR) teams, which are very expensive."
"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."
"Its price is very high. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is 50% more expensive than Cisco AMP for Endpoints."
"There is a license needed to use the solution. The price of the solution is fair."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
