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.

Security monitoring has provided full incident visibility and enables rapid threat remediation
For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right. They need to integrate that as well, and also integrate other firewalls such as Sophos and Palo Alto to enhance the MDR services. If there is any user who is using Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro endpoint security, SonicWall Managed Detection and Response needs to manage that too, so SonicWall can also manage the same Palo Alto firewall and Trend Micro or Secure Right. In my experience with SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it is functional, but they need to integrate such things to improve the MDR services.

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 cloud-based solution. You can easily scale it."
"One differentiator of CrowdStrike is that it's nearly what I would call zero-touch on the workstation."
"The continuous improvement in detections and response times is valuable. They are more focused on threats that come from the cloud, not only that we see."
"EDR and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are good features. The Spotlight feature is also good, and it also can detect patching-related vulnerabilities."
"CrowdStrike gives a proper security block."
"The real-time response features are valuable for us."
"Its machine learning and AI features are good, and the real-time updates that it gets with respect to threats are very good."
"One unique thing that they offer is a breach warranty. We basically have a warranty of up to $100,000 should there be any breach that they're not able to manage."
"With MDR, when we purchase SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, we have visibility of our incidents and our malicious behavior traffic, and not only the visibility, they can also remediate that same thing."
 

Cons

"The reporting could be better. It's not as good as it could be."
"Its reporting feature could be user-friendly."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"I want better integration with other security solutions; integrating with third-party apps wasn't as seamless as I expected."
"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."
"The biggest thing is to scan into your Office 365 environment, not from a cloud access security broker standpoint, but from the Secure Access Security Edge standpoint in protecting the Copilot ecosystem. Copilot has become more widely popular than I could have imagined. You need to back up and protect your Office 365 tools anyway, and Copilot is just a high sense of awareness."
"Falcon could use more SIEM capabilities, like a central place to monitor all our clients."
"I would improve the Operational Technology environment functionalities."
"For improving SonicWall Managed Detection and Response, it has to integrate some more EDRs, such as Trend Micro and multiple OEMs, such as Secure Right."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike offers solutions with the same functionality for both large enterprises and small to medium organizations with competitive pricing."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"Falcon Complete isn't too pricy."
"It is expensive, but looking at the capabilities that it brings, it is reasonable. There are no additional costs to the licensing costs. If you increase the number of licenses, support is included."
