Enhanced security team efficiency and proactive threat management with room to improve alert management and cost-efficiency
There are several issues we are facing with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, including data overload, noise, and false positive alerts. We experience alert fatigue, contextual gaps, integration complexity, and timeliness of intelligence challenges in our environment. Areas that should be improved include noise reduction, prioritization, real-time delivery, and advanced threat coverage. The filtering algorithm should be improved to address these concerns.

Threat detection benefits stand out while AI capabilities need improvement
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. They integrate everything into one solution. The other solutions such as CrowdStrike or SentinelOne don't collect all the vulnerabilities or threat intelligence except within their product itself, making Rapid7 MDR very strong in this aspect. I have seen an ROI from this solution in terms of time savings. Because it includes everything, including SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability control, other solutions require integration of every module and vendor. It is easier to implement once they start, as the modules of the EDR can be challenging to implement and may require consulting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's most valuable features are efficient dashboards and their ease of management."
"The solution offers seamless SOC extension, zero-day protection, advanced threat intelligence, and rapid incident containment."
"We found the initial setup to be quick and easy for the most part."
"The response service is the most valuable as it frees up our IT staff to focus on other tasks."
"The system is valuable as it is a fully managed endpoint protection service designed to stop breaches, detect threats, and respond to incidents effectively."
"The main valuable features are feasibility, ease of deployment, and that it's all based in the cloud. I like that it is gradually updated and that the detection rate is higher than that of other endpoint solutions. There are fewer loopholes."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It is very easy to manage the licenses centrally because these are cloud licenses. There is no need for manual data reports."
"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."
 

Cons

"The documentation that they had for the use of their API's was not very helpful."
"The installation could always be a bit easier. You need to install it manually at the endpoint."
"It has a lot of false positives, which can be an issue, but you can verify these false positives."
"It would be better if they offered other language options. It's only in English, and in Latin America, we mostly speak Spanish."
"There is room for improvement in the AI of CrowdStrike, known as Charlotte AI, which my team does not currently use. Additionally, patch management in vulnerabilities needs improvement."
"The reporting could be better. It's not as good as it could be."
"It should be integrated with AI and ML."
"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."
"There are potential improvements in reports and dashboards."
"The product should provide full transparency in security operations."
"Rapid7 MDR is currently weak in AI solutions and intelligence, which is concerning."
