We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon Complete and FireEye Managed Defense [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf Networks, Huntress and others in Managed Detection and Response (MDR)."The biggest aspect for us is that they are able to conform to our environment and utilize our tools. That way, we still maintain ownership of all the data and access to the applications, and we never lose control of the ability to run the solution ourselves if we need to."
"The best part about Binary Defense MDR is that it runs on everything, and they keep an eye on things 24/7."
"Among the valuable features are the agent, continuous reporting, and dashboard. It has all the features we need and we haven't had to customize it, other than turning on certain features that we wanted."
"The case interface is Binary Defense MDR's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable part of Binary Defense is its team of cybersecurity analysts. Their analysts filter out the noise and only forward the critical threats that require a response instead of false positives."
"The customization has been the most valuable aspect and was really the reason we ended up selecting Binary Defense. They worked with us to provide exactly the level of support, features, response, and collaboration we needed."
"The speed at which their services are reactive is valuable. Nowadays, when a threat hits an endpoint, you've got minutes, not hours or days. Their average response time is about four minutes on an alert. For anything that needs to be sent to us, it's about fourteen minutes, which is pretty good. They're the third SOC that I've used in fifteen years. By far, they are the quickest ones to act. When you're looking at prevention, that's a key factor."
"The most valuable features are the SIEM and the ticketing function; the latter is very smooth and easy to read and understand. We don't have any issues looking at the ticketing information when we're trying to identify what's going on."
"The solution is easy to deploy and manage."
"I would recommend Falcon Complete for anyone looking for a cheaper alternative that's almost the same quality as Cortex."
"Its machine learning and AI features are good."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is endpoint detection and response."
"The overwatch module is the most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"It is an endpoint protection product. It has a very good reporting engine and dashboard. It has a good set of endpoint controls. It provides an effective set of protections. When we throw malware and stuff like that at it, it is able to stop them."
"I like Falcon's AI functionality and vulnerability management. That has been so helpful. Falcon Complete can manage vulnerabilities, quarantine threats, and do all kinds of forensic incident analysis. It's a lightweight solution that only uses 1% of the CPU, which is a game changer. Other EDRs have had high CPU usage."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is the overall endpoint protection."
"The installation was straightforward."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."
"We should be able to isolate devices faster. They should shorten the time between clicking on a device to contain it and carrying out the action. That would be a welcome improvement."
"The most significant area for improvement is in support for non-English speakers; we're a global organization, so many of our users are not English speakers, which can make interacting with them a challenge. There's no Chinese language support, so we must rely on what we can do with the internet. We don't expect Binary Defense to build a language staff, but details can get lost in translation when we assume the whole world speaks English."
"I would like to get more reports from Binary Defense about what they're blocking."
"I don't find any downside to them, but if I have to put one, it would be consistent manpower or staffing. The only area where the solution can be improved is going to be with people. As they grow, they are struggling with the same thing that every other company is, which is getting talent and getting that talent to stay, but they've just revised their tiering system to go from a flat analyst and manager to a three-tier solution where it goes through two or three before it gets elevated. That seems to have worked out well, so if one level misses it, the next one picks it up, and it works out fine."
"It's sometimes difficult to know when to engage Binary Defense or TrustedSec, their sister company. TrustedSec is more focused on offensive security, as opposed to the defensive security that the MDR solution provides. It would be awesome if there were a better bridge between that relationship for when we need to get more proactive services or when we need to do a penetration test."
"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."
"The only area I see for improvement with Binary Defense is their service portal. It could benefit from some enhancements."
"I would like to see them introduce DLP."
"I would like to see CrowdStrike Falcon Complete XDR integrate more effectively with other technologies."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve the threat visibility and have remediated vulnerabilities that they find."
"In a future release, it would be ideal if they could add reporting and action histories to their suite of features."
"The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are in the way the agent updates. The overall management of endpoints needs to be better."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is not providing application control. This is a very useful feature in any endpoint security because if you want to block any malicious activity of any particular application, you can not block it in this solution. However, you are able to block hashes, but not executable files or processes. Additionally, this solution does not provide a user risk score. These are two areas that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete can improve on in the future."
"The support from CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very fast. The support could improve if it was in the French language."
"I would improve the Operational Technology environment functionalities."
"The only feature needing improvement which comes to mind is the need for better pricing for the licensing."
"Its user interface could be better."
