Well, that's an easy one to answer... it's very well suited to all aspects of our operation. In our office network environment, I've been able to trust CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR to catch several inadvertent malware downloads by end users that were not paying attention. I don't have any experience with scenarios where CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is inappropriate to deploy

A great product that highlights any and all persistent footholds on the network and does a great job on breach monitoring. The support staff are great, efficient, and are able to reach out when there is an issue. Most problems are cleared out/mitigated before we even know about them. A great product to add to your security stack.

  • Using the latest industry knowledge of threats that have been ongoing, but not previously known and projecting it back in time against their installed endpoints to identify machines that are vulnerable or breached and when it these events occurred
  • Very quiet. If they alert, it is a thing.
  • Very good at remediation.
  • They communicate extremely well when it matters.
  • While there are the most extensive products more often than not they are the first to alert us to a threat.

Cons
  • There are some integration gaps with other tools. I wish it worked better with LevelBlue AlienVault
  • Playbooks can be less than intuitive
  • Difficult to communicate with support at times, offshore support has difficulties understanding the request.

  • Now that they have EDR capability, they need to fully participate in MITRE testing for direct comparison against other EDR products.
  • Now that they are going into Managed Antivirus and EDR with isolation capabilities they need to update their SLA comparative to other vendors
  • Support for non-Windows OSes for consistency in a network
  • It would be nice to seed canary files in custom shares on servers.

Usability
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is a turnkey solution that is easy to deploy and operate, providing protection without requiring heavy internal management. The 24/7 coverage ensures continuous monitoring and response gives me peace of mind and allows me to focus on business issues. Integrating with Slack allows for timely alerts directly in existing workflows. Reporting is clear, concise, and easy to understand for both my teams and upper management. Support is generally OK and responsive, but as previously mentioned offshore comprehension issues can occur. Still, the overall quality and reliability of support is OK.

We dropped SentinelOne in favor of Huntress because the UI was much more simplistic for the tier 1 techs to maintain. It beats the old web design model of three clicks to where you want to go. It is very intuitive. No one needs training to figure out how to navigate its console.

Alternatives Considered
CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR stands out against Palo Alto XDR to me by offering fully managed 24/7 MDR, which took the burden off my team. While Palo Alto XDR provided adequate protection and integration across network, cloud, and endpoints, it required a lot of in-team expertise for us to manage it. We changed to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR because of its white-glove service, incident response, and support and much better ROI for us.

Huntress may not be a complete SOC such as Blackpoint, but the level of protection is close. Huntress provides a set of human eyes always hunting for persistent threats on your endpoints. Huntress also seems less noisy with no false positives, so no time is wasted reviewing alerts.
