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.

Customers have found quick incident response and proactive security management through effective threat detection
Secureworks Taegis Managed XDR MDR is a great product that has not posed any challenges from my perspective. I am extremely happy with the quick response from the Secureworks team. After the Sophos merger, I look forward to seeing a better and more enhanced version of the product. The team does a phenomenal job with automatic maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a major anti-malware solution. It can stop zero-day attacks and ransomware attacks. There are so many features in CrowdStrike. Falcon Overwatch is a valuable module. It is lightweight on the endpoints. It doesn't have any scanning mechanism. It works on artificial intelligence, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There is no signature available on this. It is a pretty easy solution. It is cloud-based, so there is no driver maintenance or anything like that. You can go anywhere in the world. If you have internet, you'll get connected to the cloud and the policies that it contains. It is pretty simple."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Complete is that it is a full security operations center (SOC) as well as a SIEM solution, and it is fully managed."
"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."
"Two of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are the remote terminal and unlimited IoCs."
"We've seen a tremendous improvement since implementing CrowdStrike Falcon. In the past few years, we were exposed to 30 different attacks, but now our environment is completely monitored, and everything is detected. It catches threats and attacks before they occur."
"The AI detection has been excellent in terms of detection and stopping malicious processes with little to no input on our end."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage."
"The initial setup was very straight forward."
"Securworks' threat intel seems pretty decent, and they integrate with several solutions we have, such as Azure AD, so all our Microsoft 365 stuff is covered."
"The solution is great for managing alerts and dealing with them as they arise."
"It provides more visibility and more control over endpoints. It reduces the noise. It clears things and only shows things that are really important. It only shows those things that need to be looked at or need to be investigated further. Other similar solutions give you a lot of alerts and other things, but Secureworks gives you a defined or less noisy view so that you can work or focus on things that are important in terms of investigation, response, and remediation."
"The advantage of using this solution is that the setup is done quickly and can be done in-house."
"Solved a fundamental problem that lets us all sleep well at night!"
"The most valuable features are IDS and IPS."
"The most valuable feature is the fast alerting and response time."
 

Cons

"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."
"Occasionally, navigating it to try to find what you want can be challenging because there is so much information there."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve the threat visibility and have remediated vulnerabilities that they find."
"There have been some issues with Falcon Complete's performance."
"It has a lot of false positives, which can be an issue, but you can verify these false positives."
"It would be better if they offered other language options. It's only in English, and in Latin America, we mostly speak Spanish."
"There is room for improvement in the AI of CrowdStrike, known as Charlotte AI, which my team does not currently use. Additionally, patch management in vulnerabilities needs improvement."
"They need to continuously integrate with other security tools such as CyberArk or Mimecast, to cover the entire IT infrastructure."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see file integrity monitoring."
"The integration with the Carbon Black sensor could be better. ManagedXDR doesn't seem to know how to extract the forensic data from an endpoint that was quarantined by Carbon Black."
"GUI for resolving tickets is terrible. Non-intuitive, offering a dizzying array of options, often none of which made sense even for common problems."
"The deployment could definitely be improved."
"We did a PoC of their next-gen antivirus product, but it wasn't ready yet. It was underdeveloped and caused a lot of issues. We'd like to move away from Carbon Black, but they said that it's probably still not to a point where we'd be happy with it. Carbon Black and RedCloak seem to work fine for us."
"The integration would look better with other products, with other EDRs, with other firewalls, with other older versions of firewalls, and the versions of software and hardware."
"Dell Secureworks could improve its integration with other third-party solutions."
"Tamper-proofing or tamper protection is still pending in Secureworks."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"There are different lengths of licenses available, such as three and five years. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive for our region."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"It's expensive. Its price varies because it's a modular solution."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The price is okay, although you're not going to get away cheap when it comes to security."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive, it offers great features and functionality."
"Initially, the cost was going to be something around $160 or $170. And eventually, I think they brought it down to $110 and they also threw in some endpoint protection platforms."
"The price is kind of on par. The licensing was comparable to other solutions. It's not particularly high or low."
"The Red Cloak agent is free."
"Secureworks Taegis ManagedXDR is very expensive and could be more cost-effective."
"The pricing of Dell Secureworks is very reasonable."
"The pricing for this solution is reasonable. One agent costs approximately 270 dirhams/70 USD for one year. There is a reduction in cost per licence as the number of licences used increases."
"It is expensive but there is no better product than this."
