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.

Continuous monitoring has strengthened payment security and now reduces incident impact quickly
There are specific details that can be improved in Deepwatch. After implementing it, we tracked both response time and threat detection accuracy using the SIEM dashboard. We measured response time using MTTD and MTTR. There are areas that can be improved, such as every alert having a timestamp for detection time and acknowledgment. We observed the MTTR dropping from a few hours to under one hour after using Deepwatch, so baseline metrics can be enhanced. Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team. This can create too many alerts in a short amount of time, making it hard for our team to understand what to do. Additionally, the dashboard can be improved for better user-friendliness for end-users, requiring better visualization of MTTR, threat trends, and risk scoring. Improvements can also be made in more automated playbooks for automated response to common threats, and there is room for deeper integration capabilities, as integration with some internal tools may require additional effort.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features I have found valuable are artificial intelligence, which protects us against malicious forces of any kind, and device control through the remote execution tool."
"CrowdStrike is one of the top two EDRs on the market; since the solution is lightweight, it is able to offer a lot of features and provide you with strong protection against different attacks."
"Overwatch is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"My advice to anyone looking into implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to go for it."
"The AI detection has been excellent in terms of detection and stopping malicious processes with little to no input on our end."
"The features of Firewall Management control, combined with controls in NextGen, are the most useful for our clients."
"It is a stable solution."
"CrowdStrike side, Falcon is the Endpoint Detection, Overwatch is the service that sits behind it. From a human point of view looks at the anomalies that normal AI and machine learning couldn't catch. So it is the combination of the two that really works well."
"Deepwatch positively impacts our organization by reducing incident response time because previously, there was no mechanism to follow up on incidents, such as any security breach in the payment gateway, and it has reduced response time by 40 to 60 percent while significantly improving threat detection accuracy with 24/7 monitoring even after business hours."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are several issues we are facing with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, including data overload, noise, and false positive alerts."
"The support from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very fast. The support could improve if it was in the French language."
"I would like to have the option to deploy on-premise."
"All of our customers complain about the reporting and say that it is very poor."
"The solution is costlier compared to other solutions, which may be a concern for price-sensitive customers."
"As of recent, their MITRE scores were not as good as in years past."
"Some dashboards can be very complex, but once you get to know them, it is very logical."
"Deepwatch can reduce alert fatigue since sometimes it generates a high volume of alerts that overwhelm our team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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?"
"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."
"We pay 40,000 euros to use this solution."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"It is a fairly firm price. It is not the cheapest solution, but if you take the complete team into consideration, it is a great value."
"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."
"The licensing cost for this solution is $5000 per license, with each machine requiring its own license."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro."
