eSentire MDR VS CrowdStrike MDR

CrowdStrike MDR requires you to select their in-house agents even if your team is already leveraging a 3rd party endpoint provider. This means CrowdStrike MDR only provides response capabilities to their in-house endpoint agents and does not cater to alerts from other endpoint detection and response platforms.

eSentire MDR provides you the option to choose from industry leading endpoint technology partners, including CrowdStrike as well as eSentire Agent, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and SentinelOne. We can easily maximize your existing investment through our bring your own license or subscription (BYOL/ BYOS) services.

With support for only a limited number of available best-of-breed technologies, CrowdStrike prioritizes response within its own ecosystem—leaving gaps in visibility and investigation across the rest of your existing tech stack.

eSentire offers complete support of your tech investments with over 300 best-of-breed tech integrations. This allows our MDR service to integrate seamlessly with the existing tools and SaaS platforms in your environment for continuous monitoring across your attack surface. We are constantly expanding our multi-signal ingestion capabilities by adding new detections and runbooks for SaaS platforms and enterprise applications.

While CrowdStrike can see and respond to some MDR signals, they focus primarily on endpoint protection. Their MDR solution has minimal log and cloud visibility and lacks network response capabilities, leaving your attack surface exposed to cloud and network-level threats.

At eSentire, we believe a true multi-signal approach is paramount to protecting your complete attack surface. We ingest high-fidelity data sources from endpoint, network, log, cloud, identity, and vulnerability data that enables complete attack surface visibility.

We own the R in MDR by disrupting, isolating, and stopping threats on your behalf across your full attack surface with a Mean Time to Contain of less than 15 minutes. We detect in seconds and contain in minutes, so your business is never disrupted.

CrowdStrike’s managed service was born out of client requests. They are not a native service provider which can leave you without support when you need it most.
