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

"It is a cloud-based solution. You can easily scale it."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR comes pretty close."
"Their intelligence is really good. The security whitepapers that they write are outstanding. They handle it all for the clients. CrowdStrike Complete is managed by CrowdStrike. They only call a client if there is a problem that they can't address. They pretty much contain and eradicate. This is not something that every vendor provides."
"It is working well, I tried a ransomware attack myself, and they were very fast in mitigating, I am very convinced of this product, and I am very satisfied with how it is working."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR gives us very good peace of mind knowing that our organization is protected, and we have more eyes on our environment if any detections arise."
"It is very simple to use and not overly technical."
"Two of the most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are the remote terminal and unlimited IoCs."
"As an end-point solution, nothing beats it, to be honest."
"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

"It lacks disk encryption, data loss prevention, and email security."
"Like any other solution, a lower price would make CrowdStrike Falcon Complete more appealing."
"I would like to see them introduce DLP."
"Their endpoint solution is excellent. But I would like to see them improve their HDR, as well as their DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"This solution is lacking in a recovery feature. If there is a full compromise, this product can't recover the machine, which results in us having to rebuild the entire system."
"The tool's customer service team’s inability to respond to our company’s queries is an area where improvements are needed."
"Their UI is a bit noisy."
"The reporting could be better. It's not as good as it could be."
"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

"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"Falcon Complete could be a bit cheaper."
"The average price is approximately $500 per customer."
"It's expensive. Its price varies because it's a modular solution."
"Its licenses are expensive for small-scale companies."
"It is not cheap, and it is not overpriced. It positions itself in the upper half of pricing in the market. You can find a product that claims to do the same and is super cheap, but it'll be not at all good. You can find something that says it does everything in the world, and it is the best thing since sliced bread, but it would be incredibly expensive. Falcon Complete is neither of those. It is always best to go somewhere in the middle, but it is not in the middle. It is in the upper half. So, it is by no means cheap, but it is worth it. Its pricing is well fixed. Given what you get in return, you wouldn't feel bad paying for it. They have a great licensing model. You can add extra bells and whistles if you want. There is that ability to reduce the price by turning off certain features if you wish."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"Its price is reasonable, but there are other products that are cheaper than this."
