Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The 'Incidents and Alerts' tab is a valuable feature where we can find triggered alerts.""The integration with other Microsoft solutions is the most valuable feature.""The visibility into threats that 365 Defender provides is really good. You get a full review of your security system and what can be improved. In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal the first page gives you a really big summary of which security policies you are following and what can be improved.""The integration, visibility, vulnerability management, and device identification are valuable.""From the perspective of Microsoft 365 XDR, the main benefit is a single, centralized dashboard offering the holistic visibility organizations crave.""There is also one dashboard that shows us the status of many controls at once and the details I can get... It gives a great overview of many areas, such as files, emails, chats, and links. Even with the apps, it gives you a great overview. In one place you can see where you should look into things more deeply...""Microsoft 365 Defender is a stable solution.""I like 365 Defender's advanced threat hunting. The dashboard is user-friendly with templates for site policies, etc. The most important use case is evaluating the risk links and applications."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Pros →

"The stability is good; we haven't experienced any glitches or bugs.""The threat intelligence is the most valuable feature.""The detection is very effective.""The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence.""The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system.""It provides very good protection and the ability to crosscheck environments.""The solution can scale easily.""Because it is security product and acts like an AIML smart product, not merely based on daily/weekly updates and signatures."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Pros →

"It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM.""It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies.""Compared to similar solutions, it's quite scalable. You just need to add more storage to scale-up.""It ensures the stability of network behavior across various aspects of our network and offers responsive capabilities to address incidents promptly""The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max.""Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest.""The solution's technical support is perfect, so I rate the technical support a ten out of ten""What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions."

Cons
"A simple dashboard without having to use MS Sentinel would be a welcome improvement.""In the future, it would be beneficial for Microsoft to consider making the product more user-friendly or simplified for those who are interested in using it. Currently, it requires a high level of technical expertise, making it challenging for beginners or less experienced individuals.""Automated playbooks and automated dashboards would be preferable to the way the data is currently being presented.""The logs could be better.""Advanced attacks could use an improvement.""The support from Microsoft could improve. There are times I have to wait for a response from a qualified specialist.""While the XDR platform offers valuable functionalities, it falls short of other solutions in its ability to deliver a cohesive identity experience.""The message trace feature for investigating mail flow issues should add more detailed information to the summary report... if they could extend the summary report a little bit, make it more descriptive, ordinary administrators could understand what happened and that the emails failed at this or that point. That way they would know the location to go to try to correct it and to prevent it from occurring again."

More Microsoft Defender XDR Cons →

"The dashboard does not have the facility to export the reports in a PDF format, which I can quickly share with internal stakeholders.""An improvement would be to extend support to legacy and unsupported servers.""Sometimes CrowdStrike changes the GUI, and they need to be better at informing us and providing guidance concerning that.""The portal can be clunky to navigate at times and has room for improvement.""I would like to see the machine learning feature enhanced.""CrowdStrike Falcon could improve by adding manual scanning or serverless scanning. It is not available at this time.""I would like to see a more accurate integration and an option to check the local machine.""It does take more time to scan than other solutions."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cons →

"The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved.""I encounter difficulty removing certain entries in behavior or alerts; likewise, I am unable to add specific calls.""We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new.""Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product making it one of its shortcomings that needs improvement.""There is room for improvement in email security. It's a security issue. If you're aiming for XDR, covering the entire threat landscape is crucial.""Configuration, in terms of building the collector and communicating with endpoints, is complex.""The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solutions price is fair for what they offer."
  • "The price could be better. Normally, the costs depend on the country you're located in for the license. When we were in the initial stage, we went with the E5 license they call premium standard. It cost us around $5.20 per month for four users."
  • "The price of the solution is high compared to others and we have lost some customers because of it."
  • "Microsoft is not competitive with the pricing of the solution. The competitors are able to offer lower discounts. The price of the solution is higher."
  • "We have a lot of problems in Latin America regarding the price of Microsoft 365 Defender, because the relationship between dollars and the money of the different countries, it's is a lot. Many customers that have small businesses say that they would like the solution but it is too expensive. However, large companies do not find the cost an issue."
  • "The most valuable licensing option is expensive, so pricing could be improved. Licensing options for this solution also need to be consolidated, because they frequently change."
  • "Microsoft should provide lower-level licensing options. They should do it in such a way that even an individual could purchase a license, and it should be entirely flexible."
  • "They have moved from a licensing model to pay-per-use... The question is: What happens if, for any reason, there's not enough budget to accept this model? That could be a great problem."
  • More Microsoft Defender XDR Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
  • "I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
  • "Purchasing the product through the AWS Marketplace is just a click away. Since we were using the on-premise version of the product, we continued on the cloud by purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "I do not have experience with the cost or licensing of the product."
  • "The other administrator and I can log in to check the exact details of what happened, what was running, and what caused the detection. We know exactly what was happening on the end users PC and we can tell if it's something that we actually need or something that's malicious."
  • "We are at about $60,000 per year."
  • "This solution has a very competitive price."
  • "Our company pays approximately US$ 65,000 annually for 900 machines."
  • More CrowdStrike Falcon Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base."
  • "It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price."
  • "Fidelis Endpoint is an expensive product. My company makes yearly payments toward the licensing cost of the solution."
  • "It's somehow expensive. From one to ten, I would rate it a five. They need to improve the prices. It's very high."
