Muhammad  Fahad - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Reasonable price, scalable, useful for Malops detections, and helpful for layered defense
We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges. They should be proactive, but we have to chase them a lot. This is where there is room for improvement. They should be proactively serving their customers. We had some batch update issues, and we're still working on them. We are almost there, but it took a couple of email exchanges in order to achieve it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers seamless SOC extension, zero-day protection, advanced threat intelligence, and rapid incident containment."
"The solution is quite flexible."
"Falcon's threat intel is strong, and the solution allows our customers to automate their site intelligence. We can integrate Falcon X with the other platforms we use, like FireEye, Insight, Cybertech, and Kaspersky."
"There's less workload on the endpoint."
"The system is valuable as it is a fully managed endpoint protection service designed to stop breaches, detect threats, and respond to incidents effectively."
"I would recommend Falcon Complete for anyone looking for a cheaper alternative that's almost the same quality as Cortex."
"The exposure management covers vulnerability management in discovery."
"The most valuable feature is that it has a zero-day approach. It does not work with the signature itself. It looks into what is happening on an endpoint and protects you better against threats that are not yet known but are captured in a signature. It provides far better detection than when it is only signature-based. You get much quicker protection against any new threat. This is the most important feature of the CrowdStrike solution."
"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
 

Cons

"The solution is costlier compared to other solutions, which may be a concern for price-sensitive customers."
"I would love for the threat intelligence part to be more globalized to provide a tailored response to types of malware and ransomware that are trending in other regions. For example, they can add a feature to tell us that there are separate attacks in South Asia or East Asia occurring at these times, so we can supply those things to our environment and protect ourselves."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is not providing application control. This is a very useful feature in any endpoint security because if you want to block any malicious activity of any particular application, you can not block it in this solution. However, you are able to block hashes, but not executable files or processes. Additionally, this solution does not provide a user risk score. These are two areas that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete can improve on in the future."
"Its reporting feature could be user-friendly."
"The solution should include some sort of DLP capabilities."
"I would like to see CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR integrate more effectively with other technologies."
"The downside is that if you are using a device offline, not connected to the internet, you will potentially have exposure."
"Some dashboards can be very complex, but once you get to know them, it is very logical."
"Their support needs improvement. We have to chase the Customer Success Manager a lot to get things done. It should have more features in terms of portability. It should be more scalable on other endpoints such as mobile devices and BYOD."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive for our region."
"There is a license for this solution and everything is included. However, The price of the could be lower."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro."
"We pay 40,000 euros to use this solution."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
