Automated alerting and reporting excel while cost and feature limitations remain
I find automation to be one of the best and most valuable features of the product. Machine learning is incorporated into the solution, though AI is a broader term that I wouldn't apply here. I haven't personally explored AI yet, but I will investigate it. Machine learning functions more as automation in my experience, as there's no training involved yet. I want to conduct R&D on another project with Wazuh to determine how to capture usage, for example, tracking user logins and time spent. This is where I need to implement machine learning. Additionally, the extraction of GeoIP adds complexity. The solution is effectively reducing incident response times in operations.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One valuable feature of ConnectWise Fortify is the ability to add other teams and receive notifications when customers make changes or remove multi-factor authentication in Microsoft or SAP environments."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"We have found the solution has great functionality and it is easy to use."
"The integration capabilities of ConnectWise SIEM are off the shelf, making it easy to buy and use; you just unpack it and use it."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are the CWP protection and the integration with SIEM."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the real-time visibility into what is happening in your endpoint."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is great, and if you go with this solution, I think that you should also obtain another service called Hybrid Analysis, the premium edition, because with this you'll get malware samples you can correlate and it will be a good tool for the SOC team."
"It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
"We have experienced ROI using this solution, and the value is clear when you are able to stop a ransomware attack or other threats."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the overall endpoint protection."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the lightweight design, easily manageable portal, and minimal IT maintenance required."
"The response service is the most valuable as it frees up our IT staff to focus on other tasks."
 

Cons

"ConnectWise SIEM is primarily focused on notifications and is limited in that aspect, while Wazuh can automate the elimination process."
"ConnectWise Fortify could work on covering more areas, like phishing messages, which have become more complicated to detect."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"The manage portion of the solution is complicated and should be simplified by having different versions to meet the needs of different size companies."
"The downside that we see with CrowdStrike is that it is not part of a broader ecosystem."
"There can be an application for the mobile device for the administrator of the platform to have an overview. In less than two minutes, they should be able to see what is going on and take action."
"When you enable a particular feature, it takes a long time, from 15 to 30 minutes, to implement in enterprise environments. This can be improved."
"When you enable a particular feature, it takes a long time, from 15 to 30 minutes, to implement in enterprise environments."
"The analysis of the investigation of the incident could be easier."
"It should be integrated with AI and ML."
"The installation could always be a bit easier. You need to install it manually at the endpoint."
"We have also been using Cisco AMP for Endpoints for three years. We have received multiple detections in Cisco AMP for Endpoints, and we had to take some actions, whereas CrowdStrike has not detected anything critical since it has been implemented. Most of the incidents that it has detected are false positives. They should work on the false-positive issue. When it is implemented throughout the organization, it gets very difficult to check each false positive and investigate what is correct and what is not correct. It requires technical and manual intervention."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"There is a standard license to use CrowdStrike Falcon Complete."
"They are really reasonable for the services they are providing. When you add more endpoints, you are going to pay more for the license."
"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."
"While the cost is relatively high, it is justified by the value it brings."
"The price of this solution is expensive compared to others solutions."
"We pay $50,000 for the 200 endpoints we have."
"There are different lengths of licenses available, such as three and five years. The price of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
