Our security alerts have been reduced significantly due to the higher level of analysis we now receive

The biggest aspect for us is that they are able to conform to our environment and utilize our tools. That way, we still maintain ownership of all the data and access to the applications, and we never lose control of the ability to run the solution ourselves if we need to. They're also very flexible in terms of what they're willing to bring to the table as well as having their own solutions that they provide if you don't have anything that you're using yourself. In terms of threat intelligence, as we make recommendations and suggestions to them for modifications to the reports so that they work better in our environment, they're working on putting them into place. And they're giving us feedback on what they can and can't do, meaning they're being very transparent. Binary Defense has also been great, so far, with integrating all the different things that we're trying to put together. They're also even helping guide us regarding some other tools that we're looking to implement. And those tools will have additional integrations into our main SIEM platform that we're using. They definitely have the knowledge and the insight to accomplish an open XDR strategy for securing infrastructure. With some of their own agents and tools that they are able to deploy into the environment, they're able to determine what's happening and put into effect the kill chain at the earliest possible point to help protect the overall network.

Uses AI-powered analytics, improves security posture, and automatically remediates threats

CrowdStrike's Falcon Complete service simplifies endpoint security by using a single sensor we install on our devices. Once installed, CrowdStrike's managed services take care of everything, including monitoring, threat detection, remediation, and alert management. Our customers only need to handle adding new users or groups. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete improves our ability to respond to and remediate cyber threats. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete boasts AI-powered analytics that hold significant promise. While I haven't used it personally, we'll be implementing it with a few clients. Once their quarterly reviews are completed, we should gain valuable feedback. The generative AI capabilities seem comprehensive, which is positive for our needs. The real-time threat-hunting capabilities stand out for us. Falcon Complete incident response feature works in the background where a team at the threat center reviews the detections and automatically remediates the threats. We're continually evolving our cybersecurity posture, and Falcon Complete has significantly improved our response time to cyber threats. We don't have an in-house SOC team so Falcon Complete has been crucial in helping with threat detection and resolution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Binary Defense is comprehensive. We see most of the questionable activity. Once you see things a couple of times and are familiar with the processes, you know what those are. The level of activity is definitely favorable."

"Our mean time to response has gone down. We're much faster with direct response and have more investigative capabilities than we did before."

"The speed at which their services are reactive is valuable. Nowadays, when a threat hits an endpoint, you've got minutes, not hours or days. Their average response time is about four minutes on an alert. For anything that needs to be sent to us, it's about fourteen minutes, which is pretty good. They're the third SOC that I've used in fifteen years. By far, they are the quickest ones to act. When you're looking at prevention, that's a key factor."

"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."

"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."

"The most valuable features are the SIEM and the ticketing function; the latter is very smooth and easy to read and understand. We don't have any issues looking at the ticketing information when we're trying to identify what's going on."

"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."

"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"The detection and investigation capabilities are my favorite parts of the solution. It has good threat intelligence and threat-hunting features."

"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the overall endpoint protection."

"Its IOCs alerting mechanism is good. I think it is AI based and categorizes behaviors which are unusual."

"The most valuable feature is AML-based threat detection."

"EDR and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are good features. The Spotlight feature is also good, and it also can detect patching-related vulnerabilities."

"The exposure management covers vulnerability management in discovery."

"I am not a CrowdStrike fanboy, but as an IT leader, they make my life easy. I like proactive monitoring and remediation, so I do not have to guess or run around. They are doing everything for me."

"It has good security features."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pros

"The stability is very reliable."

Cons

"The most significant area for improvement is in support for non-English speakers; we're a global organization, so many of our users are not English speakers, which can make interacting with them a challenge. There's no Chinese language support, so we must rely on what we can do with the internet. We don't expect Binary Defense to build a language staff, but details can get lost in translation when we assume the whole world speaks English."

"If I were shopping for an MDR solution today, I would not only look for a company that has the ability to alert, detect, and remediate, but also the ability to integrate vulnerability management. That's a big thing that they're lacking today."

"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."

"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."

"While my understanding is that they're working on this, I would like to see some more of the quantification or reporting."

"It's sometimes difficult to know when to engage Binary Defense or TrustedSec, their sister company. TrustedSec is more focused on offensive security, as opposed to the defensive security that the MDR solution provides. It would be awesome if there were a better bridge between that relationship for when we need to get more proactive services or when we need to do a penetration test."

"I don't find any downside to them, but if I have to put one, it would be consistent manpower or staffing. The only area where the solution can be improved is going to be with people. As they grow, they are struggling with the same thing that every other company is, which is getting talent and getting that talent to stay, but they've just revised their tiering system to go from a flat analyst and manager to a three-tier solution where it goes through two or three before it gets elevated. That seems to have worked out well, so if one level misses it, the next one picks it up, and it works out fine."

"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."

More Binary Defense MDR 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."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete does not include patch management functionality."

"An MDM, Mobile Device Manager, should be added in the next release."

"What could be improved in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the threat hunting feature and the insights it provides, in particular, the variable analysis feature. Protection against zero-day threats and sandboxing could also be improved in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. If you compare it with other solutions, it can go head-to-head, but the features I mentioned still need improvement."

"It would be better if they offered other language options. It's only in English, and in Latin America, we mostly speak Spanish."

"Its price and integration into a pre-existing process could be better."

"They need to continuously integrate with other security tools such as CyberArk or Mimecast, to cover the entire IT infrastructure."

"The customization could be tweaked. We can do a bunch of custom dashboards. However, the one thing that I'm not a fan of is when you go to do an investigation, the way that the processes are laid out on the screen is very bland looking. While the information is there, it could be laid out better."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR cons

"If they could provide a solution for smartphones and for tablets that would be very helpful as we have some people accessing information from these types of devices."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."

"The pricing isn't that bad, it's very competitive. I don't feel that it's over-priced and I don't feel that it's under-priced."

"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."

"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."

"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."

"From the initial cost that Binary Defense came in with, we pared it down quite a bit over the course of 30 or 60 days. My leadership would say that their cost was high, but realistically, they were in line with the market."

"Binary Defense has changed its pricing model from being primarily based on the volume of data to one based on escalations and incidents they handle."

"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."

"If you are looking from an IT standpoint, you get what you pay for. There is proactive monitoring in addition to the insurance policy. They do that better than others. Would you like it cheaper? Yes, but at what cost?"

"We pay $50,000 for the 200 endpoints we have."

"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."

"There are different lengths of licenses available, such as three and five years. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."

"There is a license for this solution and everything is included. However, The price of the could be lower."

"Its licenses are expensive for small-scale companies."

"The licenses are sold per user."
