Featured Reviews

Information security manager at a government with 201-500 employees
Managed detection has provided 24x7 protection and gives a single analyst confidence and support
The best features CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR offers are a lot of information that you get every time you get an alert. There is so much telemetry that the sensor is pulling, so it is really easy to figure out what is going on on the computer. Since we are MDR customers, so many of those different alerts are already worked for us. We still look at them and check on them, but normally by the time we get to them, that status is already closed because it has already been checked on. Out of all those features, the one that I find myself relying on the most day-to-day is having that person on your team to help augment your staff. Since I am the only one on the team, it is super nice and super helpful knowing that we have someone else on the team, that being the MDR team that we have. That is probably the biggest difference, knowing that even if I do not understand a specific alert that comes in, I can send a chat to the Falcon Complete team through the support message, and they will explain in pretty great detail about what the alert is doing and if there is any extra remediation I need to do. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR has impacted my organization positively because we have not been hacked yet, and that is a great thing. There are several municipalities or other organizations in our area and our state that have been hit, that obviously do not use CrowdStrike. We obviously do use CrowdStrike, and we have not been hacked, and so that is the biggest impact that you could ask for.

Manager SOC at PTCL
Comprehensive detection has strengthened real-time protection and streamlined investigations
My experience with detection and response capabilities for Microsoft-centric environments has been positive. While API integration can be challenging with some third-party tools, Microsoft's built-in features facilitate seamless communication. I have found it relatively easy to triage and integrate Microsoft systems with Rapid7 MDR. In terms of digital forensics and incident response included in the MDR service, my experience is that it is not very robust. We lack a dedicated forensic team, which is essential for thorough investigation. Rapid7 has introduced honeypots, which is an encouraging feature, but it is not a comprehensive solution such as those offered by competitors, such as Palo Alto's Unit 42. Apart from forensics, I believe Rapid7 MDR should introduce more forensic services. Another area to improve is the active platform's handling of on-premises tools versus cloud-based tools. We prefer on-premises options for data security, and we find limitations in features compared to cloud-based tools, concerning data access and privacy controls.
