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.

Unified security monitoring has reduced alert fatigue and improves proactive threat hunting
I use real-time monitoring in ReliaQuest GreyMatter, which significantly improves my security posture. The unified interface helps reduce alert fatigue. I would estimate it saves around 20% in alert fatigue reduction. The automated threat hunting capabilities in ReliaQuest GreyMatter help me stay ahead of threats. The machine learning algorithm benefits my threat intelligence by providing deeper insights and predictions. I use various metrics to rate the success of the predictive threat intelligence in ReliaQuest GreyMatter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a cloud-based solution. You can easily scale it."
"I think the AI and the analytics around stopping threats as they come in and learning as threats happen is probably the biggest selling feature."
"The threat response from this solution is very comprehensive."
"Overall, I am very satisfied with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR."
"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."
"Overwatch is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."
"ReliaQuest GreyMatter has helped us to reduce security incidents by 89%, which is a significant amount of incidents we have seen."
"ReliaQuest GreyMatter saves around 60% of time or resources."
 

Cons

"I prefer to put a pound into the prevention and an ounce into the cure, but CrowdStrike put more focus into the EDR. This works as a business model for them, as they get a lot of customers purchasing their MDR services, usually SMBs lacking the staff to leverage the EDR tool themselves adequately. We have many such customers. I would much rather see more refinement and investment into the prevention side of the equation, though CrowdStrike has a good engine. The solution is as effective as SentinelOne and Windows Defender for Endpoint; it's an excellent endpoint protection solution."
"Occasionally, navigating it to try to find what you want can be challenging because there is so much information there."
"I would like to see them introduce DLP."
"The downside is that if you are using a device offline, not connected to the internet, you will potentially have exposure."
"The solution is geared more towards larger organizations, so it can be difficult for organizations with smaller budgets to utilize the solution."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"An MDM, Mobile Device Manager, should be added in the next release."
"In my opinion, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR can be improved by reducing the requirement for us to build a lot of the policies ourselves, as it would help a lot if there were more of those policies out of the box that we can leverage right away instead of developing them over time; I believe there should be a common denominator of policy that could be suggested at implementation time."
"Areas that have room for improvement include user interface and integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay 40,000 euros to use this solution."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro."
"The pricing for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is competitive. It's a cheaper solution when you compare it with others, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating its pricing a four. You also don't need to pay extra for its features. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is perfect."
"Falcon Complete isn't too pricy."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
