FAQ
What is the main difference between CrowdStrike and DeepSeas?
CrowdStrike is a Platform vendor that is platform-native (requires their own security stack). DeepSeas is a Pure-play MDR that is technology-agnostic (works with your existing tools).
How do CrowdStrike and DeepSeas differ in response capabilities?
CrowdStrike supports 6 autonomous actions (endpoint isolation, process termination, network containment, account disable, file quarantine, custom playbooks) and acts without approval. DeepSeas supports 5 autonomous actions (endpoint isolation, network containment, account disable, file quarantine, custom playbooks) and approval is configurable. Incident response is included with CrowdStrike and not included with DeepSeas.
How does CrowdStrike pricing compare to DeepSeas?
CrowdStrike pricing: Not vendor-published. Third-party estimates for the managed tier run $15-45/endpoint/month depending on source, settling near $25-30 at 1,000+ endpoints (250-seat minimum). DeepSeas pricing: Not published. Watch for with CrowdStrike: Managed tier costs materially more than the self-managed Enterprise bundle it sits above; the analysts and remediation are the uplift; Third-party minimum around 250 endpoints excludes small buyers, who get steered to self-managed Pro or Enterprise. Watch for with DeepSeas: Pricing is opaque, no public pricing or seat minimums disclosed; Incident response (DFIR) is handled through external partners, not included in MDR.
