Enhanced security team efficiency and proactive threat management with room to improve alert management and cost-efficiency
There are several issues we are facing with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, including data overload, noise, and false positive alerts. We experience alert fatigue, contextual gaps, integration complexity, and timeliness of intelligence challenges in our environment. Areas that should be improved include noise reduction, prioritization, real-time delivery, and advanced threat coverage. The filtering algorithm should be improved to address these concerns.

Threat detection benefits stand out while AI capabilities need improvement
The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices. They integrate everything into one solution. The other solutions such as CrowdStrike or SentinelOne don't collect all the vulnerabilities or threat intelligence except within their product itself, making Rapid7 MDR very strong in this aspect. I have seen an ROI from this solution in terms of time savings. Because it includes everything, including SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability control, other solutions require integration of every module and vendor. It is easier to implement once they start, as the modules of the EDR can be challenging to implement and may require consulting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability is great for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"The most valuable feature is AML-based threat detection."
"Overwatch is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"It has good security features."
"We have experienced ROI using this solution. The value is clear when you are able to stop a ransomware attack or other threats."
"It is very simple to use and not overly technical."
"I am not a CrowdStrike fanboy, but as an IT leader, they make my life easy. I like proactive monitoring and remediation, so I do not have to guess or run around. They are doing everything for me."
"It has good visibility, works well, and it is fast."
"The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices."
"The product allows us to customize our alerts."
"We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too."
 

Cons

"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."
"Like any other solution, a lower price would make CrowdStrike Falcon Complete more appealing."
"We have also been using Cisco AMP for Endpoints for three years. We have received multiple detections in Cisco AMP for Endpoints, and we had to take some actions, whereas CrowdStrike has not detected anything critical since it has been implemented. Most of the incidents that it has detected are false positives. They should work on the false-positive issue. When it is implemented throughout the organization, it gets very difficult to check each false positive and investigate what is correct and what is not correct. It requires technical and manual intervention."
"All of our customers complain about the reporting and say that it is very poor."
"The performance slows down by between 10% and 40%, depending on what type of work the machine is doing."
"The solution should be lighter because it currently uses a lot of computing sources."
"It really is an expensive product in the South African market. And they need people in our country. Their partner program isn't yet where it should be. They need a lot of work and there's a lot of improvement needed."
"They need to continuously integrate with other security tools such as CyberArk or Mimecast, to cover the entire IT infrastructure."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license needed to use the solution. The price of the solution is fair."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."
"The licensing cost for this solution is $5000 per license, with each machine requiring its own license."
"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"The product is not overly priced."
