CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR Reviews

It is their MDR. We use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete to manage our security. It is for our endpoint protection.

Our organization sells CrowdStrike. 

Assume there is malware on my computer. Using the hash value, I can determine how many endpoints in my organization have been infected by this malware. 

Using this RTR, I can gain remote access to their machines or endpoints and attempt to close, remove, or delete the process or file entirely.

These features, in my opinion, are extremely important for IT administrators. It lets us now look at users in Mumbai, and I am in Bangalore.

I am not required to use AnyDesk or anything. I can simply log into my Falcon, navigate to that file section, and remove the file without the user even realizing it.

I believe their EDR, services are of high quality. Which is what organizations desire. We can use the EDR to determine how many people attempted to access someone else's laptop. 

It provides us with that insight, we know when someone is attempting to steal data from another laptop. This is also beneficial.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the real-time visibility into what is happening in your endpoint.

Their real-time response is also very good.

Their endpoint solution is excellent. But I would like to see them improve their HDR, as well as their DLP (Data Loss Prevention).

If they improve in these two areas, they will have a really good product that we will enjoy. Otherwise, we will have to include another product for people who want data loss prevention. There will be a cost, which will be expensive, and it will consume significantly more resources on the client's machine.

It would make it easier if everything was together in one center. That is why I looked into Trellix as well as Trend Micro.

In the next release, I would like to see Data Loss Prevention and  Email Security. safety included. 

The majority of these businesses are also beginning to use Chrome OS. I would also like to see support for Chrome OS.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for four or five months.

Because it comes from the cloud, it automatically updates itself.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very stable.

If you look at Trellix, for example, they just arrived and have three, or four centers. But this has only one center, and at its peak, it uses only about six MB of RAM resources.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is scalable. If you purchase the pro version, if the customer is dissatisfied with it, he can later upgrade it by adding more modules to it.

We have approximately 50 users in various roles, including sales, directors, and even our technical team, who use this solution.

I'm not aware of any Falcon Complete technical support. But I am aware of the technical support for the other module. It's quite good.

It is online-based support. We do not have that technical support number.

However, technical online support is also fairly responsive. If you file a case, they will respond within two hours.

A technician is assigned, and he or she will be on call until the case is resolved.

I would rate the technical support a four out of five. If they had a toll-free number, I would rate them a five out of five.

Positive

Previously, I did not use another solution, I have always used  CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, from what I understand, can only be deployed in the cloud and is not available on-premise.

The initial setup is straightforward. You will receive a link, open it, configure the dashboard, and deploy the sensors. That's all.

It took a half hour to deploy the center, the policy configuration, the dashboard, and everything. 

The deployment was done in-house.

If there are only 50 users, two people will suffice. One person is more than enough if he has a deployment tool like Jamf or JumpCloud. He can simply deploy it from where he is.

I am not sure what the licensing fees are. I believe it is paid once a year, but I am not sure. However, it is dependent on the number of users present and the number of licenses purchased. The licenses are sold per user.

I believe that all of these, for example, Trend Micro, Trellix, or any other company that is based on this NGAV technology, are usually based on how many users are in that environment, and how many devices they intend to install the technology on.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. If you want a good endpoint security solution, I recommend CrowdStrike. It provides adequate endpoint security.

I would rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.

It lacks disk encryption, data loss prevention, and email security. It does not support Chrome OS. We provide these services, which is why we are looking into Trend Micro and Trellix, both have these options available.

Typically, we use the solution for detection, as we outsourced the response element to an MSSP. It also gives us visibility into security threats and allows us to find and eliminate them. For issues that outweigh our capacity, we escalate to our third-party MSSP.

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

I want better integration with other security solutions; integrating with third-party apps wasn't as seamless as I expected.

I've been using the solution for one to two years. 

The solution is stable. 

I can't say because our usage remained flat; we didn't up or downscale.

On a scale of one to ten, I put the difficulty of the initial setup at five, right in the middle.

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

I rate the solution eight out of ten.

My advice is to be clear in the negotiation phase about your expectations, the strengths and weaknesses of the solution, and how much of the implementation CrowdStrike will be doing for you. It's good to keep in mind what the required integrations are based on existing infrastructure to understand what is and isn't feasible in the integration.

We use CrowdStrike as our endpoint protection solution for all of our devices.

The previous solution that we had for our endpoints was lacking. It was a blacklist/whitelist solution and every time you tried to run something, it would get stuck in a model of having to check the file, update the system, check the server, get approval to run a piece of software, and so forth. It was just a nightmare.

Its machine learning and AI features are good.

The real-time updates that it gets with respect to threats are very good.

It would be nice to have full-scale ESR reporting.

In the future, I would like to see better reporting and better SIEM integration.

We have been using CrowdStrike Falcon for about a year.

The stability seems fine and we haven't had any problems.

This product is cloud-based, so there is plenty of room for it to grow. I think that there are about 250 endpoints including everything from customer service to warehouse functions to C-suite.

I have been in contact with technical support and they seemed competent, as well as quick to respond. I would rate them a nine out of ten. Nothing is perfect and there is always a little bit of room for improvement. Ideally, there would be fewer canned responses for the first go around.

Prior to CrowdStrike Falcon, we were using Carbon Black. It was more of a blacklist-type software and it was just cumbersome to do anything for any of my users.

The initial setup was pretty simple, once the implementor showed us a couple of the tips and tricks, and what the nomenclature is.

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

My advice for anybody who is implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is to get the training and make sure that they understand the system. If they are going to be doing their own admin work then they have to make sure that they understand it all.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use virtually every module within the solution, including identity protection. It boasts its own robust EDR capabilities, essentially positioning it as the top EDR solution in the market.

The prevention capabilities hold the utmost value.

The only aspect where we've offered feedback for potential enhancement is essentially the user experience.

I have been working with it for two years now.

It exhibits exceptional stability, with no instances of downtime experienced since its implementation.

In terms of scalability, we haven't encountered any issues. We have intentions to expand our usage in the future. Continuously striving for improvement, we aim to broaden the scope of what we utilize within the platform.

The customer service is quite satisfactory, with a reliable response time adhering to the service level agreement. I would rate it nine out of ten.

Positive

It's deployed across all aspects of our infrastructure, providing comprehensive coverage for our entire environment. It requires no maintenance.

The return on investment has been significant, aiding us in various simulated assessments and playing a crucial role in both detecting and preventing incidents early on. Moreover, it has proven beneficial for overall asset management.

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

We evaluated nearly fifteen solutions, including some of the top ones in the market. However, we opted for CrowdStrike because it aligns perfectly with our requirements and fits within our budget. Upon testing it out, we found that it effectively fulfills its intended purpose.

Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is used for endpoint protection, which includes anti-malware, and some MDR capabilities, such as threat hunting.

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

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve the threat visibility and have remediated vulnerabilities that they find.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for approximately four years.

We have not had any problems with the solution.

I rate the stability CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a nine out of ten.

The scalability is good.

We have approximately 20,000 users that are using this solution.

I rate the scalability CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.

I have not used the support.

We are looking to move to SentinelOne because of the lack of threat visibility.

My advice to others is to take the full package of the solution to determine what are the most useful features and then adjust the package later.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete an eight out of ten.

We use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for the management of endpoints, which are located onshore and offshore. 

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is mainly for endpoint protection, and we used it alongside Microsoft Defender, to secure our assets, which are either domains or newgroups.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management.

The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are in the way the agent updates. The overall management of endpoints needs to be better.

In the next release of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, they should include more security towards endpoints, add device management, and PAM solutions along with their endpoint solutions.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete for approximately two years.

CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is stable. If they make any changes in the backend, then they leave their clients with very little choice, they either have to force manage everything or they can be left out.

The scalability of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is good. We are in the cloud making scalability not a problem.

The support for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is not good. They take a very long time to respond, it takes 24 to 28 hours for them to get back to us.

I have used previously Microsoft Defender for Endpoints.

Microsoft Defender for Endpoints is a very basic endpoint security solution. I cannot even compare it with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

The initial implementation of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, including the creation of policies and aspects, is fairly easy. However, the only challenge is to roll out the endpoints individually onto all systems. If you have a large network and you don't have an SCCM or any other solution through which you can roll out, it becomes cumbersome. The solution does not come with any auto ruling platform feature.

The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions.

I have been using CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a seven out of ten.

It's an endpoint detection and response tool. I am using its latest version.

It improves our security posture.

Its ease of use is valuable. Nothing is left to you.

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

In terms of features, I'm quite happy with where they're at the moment in their roadmap as a company.

I have been using this solution for four years.

It's very stable. I'd rate it a ten out of ten in terms of stability.

It's scalable. I'd rate it a nine out of ten in terms of scalability. It would be a ten if it was cheaper.

In my organization, there are 100 users, but we have also deployed it elsewhere. They have over 10,000 users. It goes on every device irrespective of the role.

They're good on official channels and non-official channels.

We were using another solution. We switched because of our partners.

It's easy as long as you've got something to deploy on LAN. Otherwise, it's a bit of a pain. For me, it took less than 10 minutes.

I installed it on my own. One person is enough for its maintenance.

It's expensive. Its price varies because it's a modular solution. I'd rate it a six out of ten in terms of pricing.

Overall, I'd rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for protecting the endpoints.

The solution simplified our structure.

The Falcon Spotlight is a most valuable feature.

While the pricing does not bother us, it is a bit on the high side. It could be lower.

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

We just started implementing CrowdStrike Falcon Complete a couple of weeks ago. 

We have only recently started to implement the solution, so I am not in a position to comment on its stability. 

We have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

We did not use a different solution in the past. 

The initial setup was easy.

We handled the initial setup on our own. We make use of CrowdStrike's help.

The pricing could be lower. The solution is a bit expensive. 

In addition to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, we also looked at FireEye from Palo Alto and at other solutions from Symantec. We decided to go with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete.

I rate CrowdStrike Falcon Complete as an eight out of ten.
