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.

Threat detection benefits stand out while AI capabilities need improvement
The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices. They integrate everything into one solution. The other solutions such as CrowdStrike or SentinelOne don't collect all the vulnerabilities or threat intelligence except within their product itself, making Rapid7 MDR very strong in this aspect. I have seen an ROI from this solution in terms of time savings. Because it includes everything, including SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability control, other solutions require integration of every module and vendor. It is easier to implement once they start, as the modules of the EDR can be challenging to implement and may require consulting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The AI and the group knowledge base that they get from having multiple clients in the cloud is very useful to us."
"It's not a signature-based solution, which is ideal for us."
"It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
"Falcon Complete's best feature is detection. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The main valuable features are feasibility, ease of deployment, and that it's all based in the cloud. I like that it is gradually updated and that the detection rate is higher than that of other endpoint solutions. There are fewer loopholes."
"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."
"I have found AI technology most valuable in the solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has a very lightweight agent that provides signatureless detection protection from known and unknown malware or ransomware which is very useful."
"The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices."
"The product allows us to customize our alerts."
"We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too."
 

Cons

"The support is good from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. We call them and we have a response immediately. They could improve by increasing their knowledge."
"Some processor utilization needs to be dropped because now Windows systems are consuming more CPU and RAM than earlier."
"The reporting could be better. It's not as good as it could be."
"We'd like the pricing to be a bit lower in the future."
"The solution should include some sort of DLP capabilities."
"An MDM, Mobile Device Manager, should be added in the next release."
"The solution is geared more towards larger organizations, so it can be difficult for organizations with smaller budgets to utilize the solution."
"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."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"The licensing cost for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is fair, and I would give it a five out of five. You have to pay per device/user."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"While CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive, it offers great features and functionality."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions."
"The product is not overly priced."
