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.

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 real-time response features are valuable for us."
"CrowdStrike is one of the top two EDRs on the market; since the solution is lightweight, it is able to offer a lot of features and provide you with strong protection against different attacks."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the lightweight design, easily manageable portal, and minimal IT maintenance required."
"I find the incident management feature valuable because it identifies new types of viruses and sends an alert to the console administrator to check the hardware."
"We have experienced ROI using this solution. The value is clear when you are able to stop a ransomware attack or other threats."
"The capabilities of CrowdStrike as a tool are fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the real-time visibility into what is happening in your endpoint."
"CrowdStrike has improved our meantime to closure on incidents by enabling us to have more contextual awareness for each of the detections, providing a much richer and broader scale of intelligence to each of the incidents and detections."
"It helps us in layered defense, and if one of the other products does not capture what we require, it comes up in Cylance and vice versa, helping the overall security posture of the organization."
"It has a lot of things for Malops detections."
 

Cons

"The installation could always be a bit easier. You need to install it manually at the endpoint."
"The support from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very fast. The support could improve if it was in the French language."
"The solution should be lighter because it currently uses a lot of computing sources."
"Most of the incidents that it has detected are false positives."
"We're a small organization. I'm not sure how it would fare if you were larger and had more and more users and added complexity."
"I want better integration with other security solutions; integrating with third-party apps wasn't as seamless as I expected."
"Some processor utilization needs to be dropped because now Windows systems are consuming more CPU and RAM than earlier."
"I would like to have the option to deploy on-premise."
"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."
"We are not satisfied with their support. We are facing some challenges."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is very high. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is 50% more expensive than Cisco AMP for Endpoints."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"CrowdStrike offers solutions with the same functionality for both large enterprises and small to medium organizations with competitive pricing."
"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"We pay $50,000 for the 200 endpoints we have."
"Falcon Complete isn't too pricy."
"It is a fairly firm price. It is not the cheapest solution, but if you take the complete team into consideration, it is a great value."
"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
