Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

Binary Defense MDR and CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR compete in the market for managed detection and response solutions. While both products offer significant advantages, Binary Defense appears to have the upper hand in customization and support responsiveness, whereas CrowdStrike leads in AI-driven threat detection and proactive insights.

Features: Binary Defense MDR excels in seamless ticketing, high customizability, and integration with existing systems, ensuring fast response times and precise threat alerts. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is distinguished by its robust AI and machine learning capabilities, real-time updates on threats, and effective endpoint protection.

Room for Improvement: Binary Defense could enhance non-English language support, improve API integrations, and develop an internal SIEM offering. Additionally, more frequent customer interaction and improved reporting features would be beneficial. CrowdStrike could focus on lowering its pricing, improving user interface intuitiveness, and expanding SIEM functionalities and real-time threat visibility. Addressing rapid staff turnover could further benefit Binary Defense, while reducing false positives and increasing integration breadth would improve CrowdStrike.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Binary Defense MDR supports a variety of environments, including public, private, and hybrid cloud deployments, along with excellent support characterized by fast response times and proactive communication.

Pricing and ROI: Binary Defense MDR is competitively priced, offering cost savings over a full-time in-house team, with users reporting significant ROI from reduced breach incidents and freed-up resources. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete's pricing is higher but considered fair for its comprehensive services. However, users feel it could be more competitive. Binary Defense generally provides faster ROI through cost savings, while CrowdStrike's value lies in its extensive features and security capabilities.

Phenomenal response time and good handling of context in our diverse environment
We are going to have a meeting with them the following Monday. It will be our first quarterly business review. Half of it is going to be looking at new products and new functions that they are bringing out. So far, I do not have anything negative or a concern. There were two small mistakes that the technician made, and they were remedied immediately. Once we brought them to their attention, they were remedied. I do not have any complaints. They were just simple mistakes that anybody could make, and their response was a positive response. So far, I have not had anything negative to say. The only area for improvement that I can think of relates to statistical analysis for SLAs. They are in the middle of moving to a new product called D3 which is going to do some backend work for them. I know they are working to improve some of the help desk statistics, such as the time the tickets open and the time they are closed. They are working on that function. It is going to be resolved in the next month or two. We have service level agreements with them, but they can use improved statistics for service level agreements. This is the only point of improvement I can identify.

Round-the-clock monitoring has freed our small team and improves our threat response focus
In terms of improvement for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, they just keep going full steam ahead. The biggest room for a house is the room for improvement, but as of right now, I don't have any complaints about CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR. Additional features that should be included in the next release of CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR would be on-demand scanning. That is something we have to do manually. For instance, if a user plugs in a USB device, even though in our environment we have USB devices locked completely, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR will still read those devices even though they can't physically access them. If it does find malicious software, those are manually done still, and that's per the SLA. I have had a few of those that have come up, but those have been few and far between.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Binary Defense is comprehensive. We see most of the questionable activity. Once you see things a couple of times and are familiar with the processes, you know what those are. The level of activity is definitely favorable."
"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."
"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."
"With Binary Defense, we don't just get an alert, but also a detailed rundown of why they're alerting us on it. They tell us what was executed, or the username, script, or IP. That way, we're not wasting time investigating."
"One of the main benefits of Binary Defense MDR is the ability to easily meet with their support team to discuss any issues we encounter."
"Binary Defense has a human service department that provides live monitoring for our systems."
"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."
More Binary Defense MDR pros
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete has stable security."
"If you use this solution your environment will be safe."
"The prevention capabilities hold the utmost value."
"The solution is suitable for large size companies, it scales well."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the real-time visibility into what is happening in your endpoint."
"The endpoint detection and response is very valuable."
"The continuous improvement in detections and response times is valuable. They are more focused on threats that come from the cloud, not only that we see."
"The most valuable feature is the Managed Detection and Response."
More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR pros
 

Cons

"While my understanding is that they're working on this, I would like to see some more of the quantification or reporting."
"Binary Defense MDR could be even better with additional features, like automatic scans and file quarantine."
"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."
"The current reporting system could benefit from improvement."
"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."
"We found that an earlier version of the agent had high memory usage and that was a bit concerning, but we raised the concern with their support team and they immediately replied that they had noticed the same thing and had a candidate fix already available... it totally fixed the issue."
"I would like to see more frequent check-ins with our security status."
"It's hard to think of anything that they need to improve on, but just to point out something, I would like to see them provide advanced XDR."
More Binary Defense MDR cons
"It has a lot of false positives, which can be an issue, but you can verify these false positives."
"It really is an expensive product in the South African market."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete could improve the threat visibility and have remediated vulnerabilities that they find."
"The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Complete are in the way the agent updates. The overall management of endpoints needs to be better."
"There are several issues we are facing with CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR, including data overload, noise, and false positive alerts."
"The downside that we see with CrowdStrike is that it is not part of a broader ecosystem."
"Their endpoint solution is excellent. But I would like to see them improve their HDR, as well as their DLP (Data Loss Prevention)."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pricey."
More CrowdStrike Falcon Complete MDR cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has been good. We have saved money, and we have a better product."
"The pricing is very good. They are definitely competitive and they were lower at the time that we went with them."
"The pricing is on target. Working with their sales team on pricing negotiations was a pleasant process. They were very respectful of the constraints we had and I feel that we're paying a fair price."
"Binary Defense MDR is priced competitively and may be slightly lower than CrowdStrike."
"It's valued at the right price. Even with the number of endpoints we have, we don't feel that it's a lot more than any competitor. In fact, it might be less expensive when you look at the fact that you're getting a full flex SOC out of it along with the tools."
"The solution's price is spot on; if anything, it's slightly below the norm for most services. Compared to building the same team internally, it would cost more to create the same amount of capability than what we get from an external team. Price-wise, Binary Defense is in a great spot."
"After we acquired this platform, we met with a number of different vendors. Binary Defense came in with a proposal that was surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were able to recoup the cost of their services within a short period of time. This is because Binary Defense is able to provide the same level of security as a team of two or three in-house analysts but at a fraction of the cost. As a result, Binary Defense is saving us an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per year."
"From the initial cost that Binary Defense came in with, we pared it down quite a bit over the course of 30 or 60 days. My leadership would say that their cost was high, but realistically, they were in line with the market."
More Binary Defense MDR pricing and cost advice
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is very expensive in comparison to Bitdefender."
"The pricing could be lower."
"I think the pricing is a little high."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is expensive."
"CrowdStrike is more expensive than SentinelOne. Licensing works on the number of agents and the modules you buy. CrowdStrike has different modules, such as Falcon, Falcon Overwatch, Falcon Complete, etc. The pricing depends upon the module that the customer wants. They have different Incident Response (IR) teams, which are very expensive."
"CrowdStrike offers training at an additional cost, so many organizations wouldn't want that route."
"CrowdStrike has a reasonable price."
"This product is one of the more expensive ones on the market."
