    Identity Protection is well suited for organizations that need to be monitor AD/Entra for suspicious activity. During a Penetration Test our MDR didn't alert on some odd protocol implementations, but ITDR did. It is also simple to setup for MFA on RDP as well. There are other solutions for it, but found I got more out of ITDR than I did from Duo. ITDR is less suited for smaller organizations since it has a 250-seat minimum. They should lower it to at least 100.

    Pros
    CrowdStrike
    • The MFA component has worked great when it comes to privileged accounts accessing RDP.
    • We wanted to stop lateral movement between endpoints and with CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection we were able to do that.
    • Identity has done a great job at supplementing our MDR service with telemetry.

    • Time series analysis. The built-in vector operations are extremely fast. Also with the q language you can code up any customized analytical ideas quickly.
    • The database are all file based, very easy to maintain.
    • Very solid and fast interface to websocket, so you can interface with javascript easily.

    Cons
    CrowdStrike
    • It's not really a fault of the product, but unless you have Falcon installed on all your endpoints your visibility is limited.
    • I've yet to get MFA working on CIFS and Powershell traffic.
    • The interface could be streamlined a little. CrowdStrike Falcon Identity Protection keeps changing where things are.

    Usability
    CrowdStrike
    While the product is solid, I do find there are an excessive number of sections you can navigate to. It takes some time getting used to, but it is a very powerful product. It's not something you'll master right off the bat.

    When comparing to Cisco Duo, I felt like the product offered more than just MFA on RDP. When comparing to Silverfort, it came down to pricing. Silverfort was double the cost and I didn't like how Silverfort had separate SKUs. If you wanted MFA on everything the cost increased dramatically.

    Python is very commonly used for large data analysis and in general is much easier to pickup than kdb+. The biggest drawback of kdb+ is the learning curve.

    Return on Investment
    CrowdStrike
    • Being able to see right away during a Penetration Test that the product detected anomalies, but our MDR service didn't. It allowed us to go back to the MDR service to show them the results and fix the issue from slipping through the cracks.
    • By satisfying the requirements from our insurance provider, our premiums didn't go up (MFA on RDP).

    • It perfectly solves most of our real time tick data needs.
    • Finding good kdb resources is slightly difficult. Also new people trying to learn kdb experience a relatively longer learning curve.
