CrowdStrike Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR vs. SecureLink Enterprise Access

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.

It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

• Proactive and comprehensive threat monitoring, mitigation and alerting
• 24/7 threat response and escalation

• Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
• Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
• I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

We are happy using securelink to access our client environments

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.

The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

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.

Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

• So much less risk of costly malware and breaches
• No training requirements for IT staff to manage the product, white glove service
• More team productivity, one less thing for my team to manage

• I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
• The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
• Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
