Worth the money, fantastic communication, and fast service with an average response time of about four minutes on an alert

This is my third SOC. I have never had anybody react as well. So, it's hard for me to provide something that they could do better because I'm really happy with them. I just signed another three-year contract with them. 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. Consistent staffing is the only challenge they have because when you're hiring level-one analysts, you go through them pretty quickly. You'll probably hire them at 50K or 55K, and after they do it for a year, they find out they can make 85K somewhere else, and they bounce. So, their turnover is a little high, but that's it.

Helps improve our security posture, frees up IT staff time, and is stable

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete as our MSSP. We previously relied on antivirus products like Sophos and Malwarebytes, which seemed to function adequately. However, Sophos lacked centralized management, requiring our IT team to manually review over a hundred security notifications daily. This…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."

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

"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."

"The most valuable part of Binary Defense is its team of cybersecurity analysts. Their analysts filter out the noise and only forward the critical threats that require a response instead of false positives."

"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 most valuable feature is reviewing tickets and the notes added by technicians."

"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."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"The most valuable feature is the Managed Detection and Response."

"We found the initial setup to be quick and easy for the most part."

"What I found most valuable in CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is that it has a lot of monitoring dashboards and use cases, and I saw that it's a very good product, but my company has only tested it, so it's not been used for real use cases. My company hasn't tested the complete license for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, so the team hasn't checked the open fiber rooms for zero-day attacks, IOAs and IOCs, or any indicators of fraudulent activities. I was also amazed at the solution and its licensing. My company did a competitive analysis of many EDR solutions, but it went with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. It's one of the top-rated solutions on CyberRatings as well."

"I would recommend Falcon Complete for anyone looking for a cheaper alternative that's almost the same quality as Cortex."

"The exposure management covers vulnerability management in discovery."

"The threat intelligence of CrowdStrike Falcon is the most valuable feature."

"It is a very good solution. It can provide detection and response in an extensive way, and for an endpoint, it can integrate the information that comes from the servers."

"The initial setup was easy."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pros

"The stability is very reliable."

Cons

"The only area I see for improvement with Binary Defense is their service portal. It could benefit from some enhancements."

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

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

"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."

"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."

"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."

More Binary Defense MDR cons

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

"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."

"The performance slows down by between 10% and 40%, depending on what type of work the machine is doing."

"The support is good from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete. We call them and we have a response immediately. They could improve by increasing their knowledge."

"The biggest thing is to scan into your Office 365 environment, not from a cloud access security broker standpoint, but from the Secure Access Security Edge standpoint in protecting the Copilot ecosystem. Copilot has become more widely popular than I could have imagined. You need to back up and protect your Office 365 tools anyway, and Copilot is just a high sense of awareness."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve by having advanced features, such as SOC, and HDR. There would have been a lot of processes involved."

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

"Instead of a single dashboard with an overload of information, I favor a more user-friendly approach with an interactive dashboard."

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 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."

"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."

"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"The price is okay, although you're not going to get away cheap when it comes to security."

"CrowdStrike offers solutions with the same functionality for both large enterprises and small to medium organizations with competitive pricing."

"We have a yearly license, and it could be cheaper."

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

"There is an annual subscription."

"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."

"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 is a license needed to use the solution. The price of the solution is fair."
