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…

Reliable with great technical support and excellent alerts

The solution would be better if there was some kind of integration with network equipment so that we can also have visibility of everything related to the firewall or the routers or switches - not only the computers but also on other network equipment. 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. It could improve the security in terms of coverage as we both computers and mobile phones or tablets in use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In the six months we have been with Binary Defense on this, they run with the ball. They take care of our problems. When we get a ticket, they do not just give us a report."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Binary Defense's most valuable feature is the 24/7 monitoring and threat hunting. Their team checks the latest breaches and how they're done."

More Binary Defense MDR pros

"We have experienced ROI using this solution. The value is clear when you are able to stop a ransomware attack or other threats."

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

"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."

"The overwatch module is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."

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

"The continuous improvement in detections and response times is valuable. They are more focused on threats that come from the cloud, not only that we see."

"It's not a signature-based solution, which is ideal for us."

"It's a stable application. It is one of the most stable out of all the other market applications, especially if you're talking about within the EDR platform."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pros

"The stability is very reliable."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"We found a couple of bugs in the user interface."

"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."

"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."

"The only area for improvement that I can think of relates to statistical analysis for SLAs. They are in the middle of moving to a new product called D3 which is going to do some backend work for them. I know they are working to improve some of the help desk statistics, such as the time the tickets open and the time they are closed."

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

"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."

More Binary Defense MDR cons

"The initial setup was slightly complex although it's an easier solution."

"The solution is costlier compared to other solutions, which may be a concern for price-sensitive customers."

"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."

"Like any other solution, a lower price would make CrowdStrike Falcon Complete more appealing."

"We'd like the pricing to be a bit lower in the future."

"The support from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very fast. The support could improve if it was in the French language."

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

"The tool's customer service team’s inability to respond to our company’s queries is an area where improvements are needed."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"It has been good. We have saved money, and we have a better product."

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

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

More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice

"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?"

"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."

"The pricing could be lower."

"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."

"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."

"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."

"CrowdStrike is more expensive than SentinelOne. Licensing works on the number of agents and the modules you buy. CrowdStrike has different modules, such as Falcon, Falcon Overwatch, Falcon Complete, etc. The pricing depends upon the module that the customer wants. They have different Incident Response (IR) teams, which are very expensive."

"I think the pricing is a little high."
