Round-the-clock monitoring has freed our small team and improves our threat response focus
In terms of improvement for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, they just keep going full steam ahead. The biggest room for a house is the room for improvement, but as of right now, I don't have any complaints about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. Additional features that should be included in the next release of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR would be on-demand scanning. That is something we have to do manually. For instance, if a user plugs in a USB device, even though in our environment we have USB devices locked completely, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR will still read those devices even though they can't physically access them. If it does find malicious software, those are manually done still, and that's per the SLA. I have had a few of those that have come up, but those have been few and far between.

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

"Endpoint protection is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete at this moment."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to have a much greater defensive posture without needing a larger information security team."
"Overall, the solution is pretty good."
"My additional thoughts about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR are that it is the best in the market, and we are happy that we have that solution in our environment."
"It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
"The most valuable feature is AML-based threat detection."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pricey."
"The solution should be lighter because it currently uses a lot of computing sources."
"My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR is that it is expensive."
"Their endpoint solution is excellent. But I would like to see them improve their HDR, as well as their DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"An MDM, Mobile Device Manager, should be added in the next release."
"At the moment, nothing is missing in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. I'm amazed by it. It's perfect and I'm not aware of any other vendors that provide its features, but it would also depend on the configuration and policy management of the solution, for example, I can bring you an EDR solution and configure it badly, so it won't do anything. It also depends on the people, not just the technology you're obtaining, so this is the most important thing to do for all solutions, even for firewalls. You can obtain a firewall and if you permit everyone to go through it, then it's useless. What could be improved in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is its management console. Currently, that console is on the cloud, so if the cloud is compromised, then the management console would also be compromised, and that's quite risky."
"It really is an expensive product in the South African market. And they need people in our country. Their partner program isn't yet where it should be. They need a lot of work and there's a lot of improvement needed."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR can be improved by working on their ability to provide file integrity monitoring a little bit better and across more platforms, but outside of the FIM, they are pretty solid."
"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

"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."
"The average price is approximately $500 per customer."
"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."
"Falcon Complete could be a bit cheaper."
"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."
"There is a license needed to use the solution. The price of the solution is fair."
"There are different lengths of licenses available, such as three and five years. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit expensive for our region."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
