    Armor gives you what you need to be successful regardless of technical ability. If you can maintain the systems yourself, you are definitely ahead of the game with their service. If you're not prepared to configure and maintain the systems, they do a pretty good job of getting it set up during the onboarding process so that you don't need to dig into the technical guts too much. If you find yourself in over your head, their support staff can handle it for you in most cases.

    I mean, CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR is best in class. If you want the absolute best and can afford it, it's the way to go. The sales team and CSMs are great and will promise you the world, and if you have the time and knowledge to set things up, they deliver. Sometimes, though, what they say and the actual reality differ a bit. Example: we were told that CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR will set everything up for us and assist us with configuring alerting and workflows. When it came time to do so, support told us that they can't set up workflows because they didn't know our system and can't be held responsible for missed triggers and alerts. Eventually, they did help, but only after we had set things up and they helped us tweak them.

    Cons
    Armor
    • Authentication and access against the secure messaging portal is overkill when the response I'm logging in to see merely says, "yes, we have your message. An agent will respond shortly". There should be an option to receive updates like this through email.
    • The online portal that allows us to clone servers is very slow to respond. More than once I've spun up an additional server due to the lack of visual feedback on the initial request.
    • The web application firewall does not seem to be sophisticated enough to differentiate between logged in administrators and end users. We use a CMS system which allows admins to create scripts. These often get barred by the WAF even though they are not malicious.

    Over all the usability of this service is great with good response from the complete team when something happens or indeed when we have questions. The reporting and telemetry from the system is useful and very helpful when carrying out our own investigations or indeed when identifying areas for improvement. Since we have taken on this service we have also added newer functionality it has become a clear extension to our small security team.

    Support Rating
    Armor
    Approximately 50% of all messages we receive are automated. Either that an agent will be assigned, has been assigned, or a ticket is closed. I'd like to see more 'real' interaction, and less box ticking, though I appreciate process has to be followed. That's the one point off. Everything else is very good.

    Symantec just wasn't as polished or feature rich as CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR. For a Next-Gen MDR, there is really only one option.
