Gary Herbstman - PeerSpot reviewer
Experienced reduced alert fatigue with streamlined notifications
We use Blackpoint Cyber MDR for our higher-end clients who need a higher level of control over security I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real. This feature ensures that I am notified only…
Otis Brinson - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps users keep track of everything from one place
The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that we can track all of it in one place across all those different locations. Because it's cloud-based and reports up to the cloud, we also have access to the back end, and an incident response team monitors all incidents. We also have an escalation process in place. From my perspective, there are other pieces of CrowdStrike that the security architect team uses as well, but I don't get involved with those as much. I usually just wait for the end results or the notification if I need to get involved if there is an incident.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Their SOC is phenomenal in not monitoring and responding and taking action."
"The solution also watches over Microsoft 365 and keeps a copy of logs."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"I appreciate that there are people behind the scenes sorting out valuable alerts from those that are not, so I only get alerts when they are real."
"The solution is all encompassing and can incorporate email monitoring."
"On a scale from one to ten, I would rate the overall solution as a ten."
"On my end, the most valuable feature of this solution is that I can install it and forget about it. After that, their SOC team takes over and they only call me when there's a problem."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage."
"It is very simple to use and not overly technical."
"Falcon Complete's best features are its detailed reporting and user-friendliness."
"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"Some texts seem to report items as normal too quickly."
"While I am very satisfied with the service, supporting additional platforms, particularly Linux support, would be a beneficial improvement."
"The feature we keep asking for is a vulnerability scan."
"The solution does not tie into other EDR products like CyberArk or CrowdStrike but that might be more useful."
"The interface could be more intuitive. More transparency is needed in the interface as a lot of details are hidden behind the scenes, making them difficult or impossible to access."
"The interface could be more intuitive."
"The reporting could be better. It's not as good as it could be."
"There have been some issues with Falcon Complete's performance."
"The logging features aren't robust and the information isn't kept long enough."
"The initial setup was slightly complex although it's an easier solution."
"Pricing is definitely a problem. It could be cheaper for licensing."
"There can be an application for the mobile device for the administrator of the platform to have an overview. In less than two minutes, they should be able to see what is going on and take action."
"It would be good if they fleshed it out a bit more, possibly with additional areas such as security awareness training. They could build that in. They're leveraging the same endpoint base that they have the security software on, but then they could offer a centralized portal or hub whereby someone like me could leverage it to track and put out security awareness training for people on all the common topics. I could have a centralized hub for everyone's results from that training and for the evidence that training occurred. It would be relatively straightforward, but it would add a lot for people in the compliance area. It would be a great expansion."
"The tool's customer service team’s inability to respond to our company’s queries is an area where improvements are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"If you are looking from an IT standpoint, you get what you pay for. There is proactive monitoring in addition to the insurance policy. They do that better than others. Would you like it cheaper? Yes, but at what cost?"
"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very expensive in comparison to Bitdefender."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is one of the more expensive security protection solutions."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other OEM competitors in the market, like SentinelOne and Trend Micro."
"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."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
