Find out in this report how the two Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The portal is quite user-friendly. There is integration with Office, Intune, and other products from the same portal. From there, we can see which policies are installed on a particular machine. We also can manage devices, groups, and tagging."
"Microsoft Defender XDR provides strong identity protection with comprehensive insights into risky user behavior and potential indicators of compromise."
"We can use Defender to block and monitor for security purposes without needing multiple other products to do different tasks."
"The most valuable feature of all is the full integration with the rest of the software in the operating system and Office 365, as well as Microsoft SCCM. It is quite easy for us to work with the whole instance of Microsoft products. This integration improves the benefits of the whole suite of products."
"The best feature is threat hunting. There are a lot of other features I like, such as the alert mechanism. The chain alert mechanism has a huge impact. It combines all the alerts into one incident and automatically correlates them with AI."
"Its most significant advantage lies in its affordability."
"It has been great for us. Previously, we didn't have a solution to protect us, especially from malware, whereas now, we are getting protection up front, especially from the malware attacks coming through emails or endpoints."
"We are able to consolidate licences and make use of many Microsoft products using this solution. If we have any Microsoft customers, we encourage them to use this solution for enterprise defence."
"All the features are beneficial."
"CrowdStrike Falcon's most valuable feature is the fact that it's not getting in the way of our workforce and their workflow."
"It helps us to identify the threats according to the behavior of any process that is running on any particular system. It helps immensely to identify any malicious behavior on any endpoints."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"Their endpoint is pretty flawless. There is no lag on the machines at all. Even though I have a good overview of all the machines, that's pretty much the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The most valuable features of Crowdstrike Falcon XDR are Spotlight and Discovery, they are helpful. Additionally, the console is user-friendly, with fewer false positives than other solutions."
"The CS falcon agent is a lightweight agent compared with other agents of EDR products."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"It's a complete solution package."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It would be highly beneficial if CoPilot could identify anomalies within the network and notify the IT team."
"Defender XDR could provide recommendations for threat-hunting queries. Some people do not know how to write an advanced threat query, so we need to spend time training them."
"Offboarding latency should be reduced. Even after a device has been successfully offboarded using a particular offboarding script, it still shows up as onboarded."
"The mobile app support for Android and iOS is difficult and needs improvement."
"Microsoft tends to provide too many features, which makes the solution prone to bugs."
"I personally have not seen much evidence of how Defender can enhance the story of zero trust for enterprises."
"Because of the training model, Defender XDR's automatic response sometimes blocks legitimate users and activities. Also, the UI sometimes responds slowly."
"Stability could be improved by avoiding frequent changes to the interface."
"Crowdstrike Falcon XDR can improve the integration. There are some locks on the cloud to on-premise integrations."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine."
"I would like to see equal support across all versions. Aside from that, I would say most of the features are there."
"To simplify the budgeting process for our clients, CrowdStrike should consider offering bundled packages that include essential features."
"In a future release, I would like to see more integrations for data breaches and security features."
"A year and a half ago or more, if you put in a support request by email, then it wasn't timely addressed. It could be a day to three days before you received a response, which was a bit frustrating. There was a lot of customer feedback around this issue, which has been greatly refined."
"Too many false positives."
"We found limitations in the XDR's detections, lacking the ability to create customized detection and log parsing rules."
"The pricing could be improved."
