We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Secureworks Taegis XDR based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I like that it's fully integrated with Windows, Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, and Outlook. It is better than other antivirus solutions because it's fully integrated with all Microsoft products. It's easy to integrate them and onboard all Windows devices from SCCM."
"I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."
"The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature."
"Scanning, vulnerability reporting, and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"The portal is quite user-friendly. There is integration with Office, Intune, and other products from the same portal. From there, we can see which policies are installed on a particular machine. We also can manage devices, groups, and tagging."
"The Endpoint Manager is incredible; it has a very straightforward interface and is exceedingly easy to use. Pulling out and deploying different tags or resources is a simple task across various departments with different levels of security. The notifications are also simple and satisfying; it's great to see the bubble informing us which devices are compliant and which are waiting to update."
"Defender is easy to use. It has a nice console, and everything is all in one place."
"My clients like Defender's file integrity monitoring. They're monitoring Windows and Linux system files."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The feature I like the most is the solution's detection."
"From what we have seen, it is very scalable. We have recently acquired a company where someone had a ransomware attack when we joined networks. Within the course of just a few days, we were able to easily get CrowdStrike rolled out to about 300 machines. That also included the removal of that company's legacy anti-malware tool."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"The most useful feature is that we do not need to install or keep signature files. Regular scanning that consumes a lot of computer resources is not needed."
"The detection is very effective."
"Scalability hasn't been an issue for us."
"The Protect functionality on the laptops provides great visibility into what's occurring, and the cloud management of the platform is what we needed."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The support team is not competent or responsive."
"The licensing is a nightmare and has room for improvement."
"The only issue I've had is, when it comes to deployment, the steps I must take around policy setup. That is challenging."
"The design of the user interface could use some work. Sometimes it's hard to find the exact information you need."
"It would be helpful if the solution could scan faster when it comes to scanning attachments to emails."
"One of the biggest downsides of Microsoft products, in general, is that the menus are often difficult to find, as they tend to move from place to place between versions."
"Intrusion detection and prevention would be great to have with 365 Defender."
"365 Defender has multiple subsets, including Defender for Cloud Apps. When integrating Defender for Cloud Apps with apps on third-party cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, there are limitations on our ability to control user activities. If Microsoft added more control over third-party products, that would be a game-changer and help us quite a lot."
"Whenever there is a feature release (upgrade) where we push to all the endpoints, it causes something to be blocked without us knowing."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"CS Falcon sensing capabilities for non-domain machines should be enhanced since the agent doesn't detect the neighbor's IP Address and/or any anomaly which was identified in the network for the non-domain machine."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"For CrowdStrike to work, all the machines need to have an internet connection. This makes it challenging to assist customers without an internet connection. We would like to have a mechanism or relay to make this possible."
"They respond quickly on the weekdays, but the weekend response times are slower."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"The pricing could be improved."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
