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

"One unique thing that they offer is a breach warranty. We basically have a warranty of up to $100,000 should there be any breach that they're not able to manage."
"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. The team behind the program itself is very valuable. If you don't have your own security team, they can do a great job for you. If your IT team isn't in the company, this can be of great value to you. Its documentation is very good. They have many different dashboards, and they do have a lot of information. Sometimes, it can be a bit overwhelming how much information is there, but once you find your way through with them, everything is very logical."
"It is an endpoint protection product. It has a very good reporting engine and dashboard. It has a good set of endpoint controls. It provides an effective set of protections. When we throw malware and stuff like that at it, it is able to stop them."
"It has good visibility, works well, and it is fast."
"The most valuable feature is AML-based threat detection."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the overall endpoint protection."
"It is a major anti-malware solution. It can stop zero-day attacks and ransomware attacks. There are so many features in CrowdStrike. Falcon Overwatch is a valuable module. It is lightweight on the endpoints. It doesn't have any scanning mechanism. It works on artificial intelligence, static analysis, and dynamic analysis. There is no signature available on this. It is a pretty easy solution. It is cloud-based, so there is no driver maintenance or anything like that. You can go anywhere in the world. If you have internet, you'll get connected to the cloud and the policies that it contains. It is pretty simple."
"It's not a signature-based solution, which is ideal for us."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Like any other solution, a lower price would make CrowdStrike Falcon Complete more appealing."
"Pricing is definitely a problem. It could be cheaper for licensing."
"I would like to see CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR integrate more effectively with other technologies."
"The technical support is satisfactory, but there is room for improvement to enhance it."
"There have been some issues with Falcon Complete's performance."
"The only aspect where we've offered feedback for potential enhancement is essentially the user experience."
"The technical support is good. However, the technical support is outsourced to India which causes some language barriers. I am not sure if this is still an issue, they might have allotted more suitable representatives."
"Some processor utilization needs to be dropped because now Windows systems are consuming more CPU and RAM than earlier."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing could be lower."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"The price is okay, although you're not going to get away cheap when it comes to security."
"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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike offers solutions with the same functionality for both large enterprises and small to medium organizations with competitive pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very expensive in comparison to Bitdefender."
"The solution needs to have human involvement, they could improve by having more automation where the solution can take the necessary action on time and more accurately."
"The product is not overly priced."
