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.

Comprehensive detection has strengthened real-time protection and streamlined investigations
My experience with detection and response capabilities for Microsoft-centric environments has been positive. While API integration can be challenging with some third-party tools, Microsoft's built-in features facilitate seamless communication. I have found it relatively easy to triage and integrate Microsoft systems with Rapid7 MDR. In terms of digital forensics and incident response included in the MDR service, my experience is that it is not very robust. We lack a dedicated forensic team, which is essential for thorough investigation. Rapid7 has introduced honeypots, which is an encouraging feature, but it is not a comprehensive solution such as those offered by competitors, such as Palo Alto's Unit 42. Apart from forensics, I believe Rapid7 MDR should introduce more forensic services. Another area to improve is the active platform's handling of on-premises tools versus cloud-based tools. We prefer on-premises options for data security, and we find limitations in features compared to cloud-based tools, concerning data access and privacy controls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are the CWP protection and the integration with SIEM."
"The overwatch module is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"EDR and Next-Generation Antivirus (NGAV) are good features. The Spotlight feature is also good, and it also can detect patching-related vulnerabilities."
"The real-time response features are valuable for us."
"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."
"If there is something wrong or not normal in the endpoint CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very responsive."
"The threat response from this solution is very comprehensive."
"I find the incident management feature valuable because it identifies new types of viruses and sends an alert to the console administrator to check the hardware."
"We've filled in crucial gaps we had with our previous solution. This was a key factor in choosing Rapid7 during the selection process. The ROI is already starting to show, too."
"The product allows us to customize our alerts."
"The features of Rapid7 MDR that I find most effective for threat detection are the threat intelligence capabilities because it already collects many vulnerabilities and exploitations, as well as the configuration of network devices."
"The main benefits that Rapid7 MDR provides for me as an end-user are the security and that they are available 24 hours a day, always."
"All stakeholders claim that Rapid7 MDR is very effective at identifying threats in today's AI era."
"Once we introduced Rapid7 MDR along with their vulnerability assessment tool, IVM, we transitioned from using Qualys and Tenable, which are top-tier tools in the market, because the management tool from Rapid7 allows us to access a variety of vulnerabilities in real time to fix them effectively."
"The enrichment that Rapid7 MDR generates for the client is greater than with other tools, and this has had a big impact."
"From my perspective, Rapid7 MDR is a really good product that is easy to implement and use."
 

Cons

"The solution is geared more towards larger organizations, so it can be difficult for organizations with smaller budgets to utilize the solution."
"Some dashboards can be very complex, but once you get to know them, it is very logical."
"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."
"Some processor utilization needs to be dropped because now Windows systems are consuming more CPU and RAM than earlier."
"The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful."
"I would love for the threat intelligence part to be more globalized to provide a tailored response to types of malware and ransomware that are trending in other regions. For example, they can add a feature to tell us that there are separate attacks in South Asia or East Asia occurring at these times, so we can supply those things to our environment and protect ourselves."
"The solution could use an on-demand scan feature."
"The support from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very fast. The support could improve if it was in the French language."
"The price of Rapid7 MDR could definitely be lower, as these are expensive systems, especially if you have the MDR."
"Evaluating the customer service and technical support teams of Rapid7 MDR, I would rate them a six out of ten."
"However, I think the best area for improvement is pricing."
"We cannot allow it to go outside because we do not have that level of trust at the moment."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
"We currently come across more false positives. The tool is a bit more aggressive than other tools."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license for this solution and everything is included. However, The price of the could be lower."
"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."
"At approximately €60 per machine, per year, I think that it's a good price point."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"The pricing for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is competitive. It's a cheaper solution when you compare it with others, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating its pricing a four. You also don't need to pay extra for its features. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is perfect."
