Sachin Bode - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

AI-driven detection has accelerated phishing response and now protects endpoints without slowdown
The best features of SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response are obviously the AI-powered threat detection, which is the most sophisticated I have seen with any other tool. I also noticed that it does not affect the performance of the device, which is something great. I do not know how they have developed it, but it is really impressive. Additionally, I noticed deep visibility into the environment where we can track everything. If something is found, we can easily track it and get a bird's eye view of the overall attack visibility. The visibility feature allows us to easily provide root cause analysis to the respective people, which helps in faster incident investigation. We have seen great outcomes with SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response. First, we conducted a pilot proof of concept and noticed that SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response is very fast. Within a small amount of time, it is able to detect everything and protect the environment. The mean time to detection has been reduced drastically. For example, with other tools, when a phishing email comes in and an attack starts, we learn about these details later and cannot take a proactive approach. With SentinelOne Wayfinder Threat Detection and Response, the tool monitors registry changes and any suspicious executable files continuously. In our pilot use case, within five minutes it reported one suspicious activity involving high encryption from a phishing email. This is something amazing considering all the other tools in the market. The response capability is great. Earlier, we would learn about phishing and threats after two to three days. After conducting the proof of concept, we found that within hours we are notified about threats.
