Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security needs improvements in pricing, UI, integration, support, scalability, and comprehensive training and documentation.
GitHub requires better usability, tool integration, project management, speed, security, documentation, merging, automation, storage, stability, and user interface.
If CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could implement pushing out remediation from the sensor installed on machines, that would be beneficial.
Security Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports.
Chief Executive Officer at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
Another issue is the lack of proper documentation.
Security Engineer at ebryx
When working with the CI/CD pipeline and somebody is writing the workflow file, it would be best to include the AI feature so if they write incorrect code, it will notify me about it in the same dashboard, eliminating the need to use third-party tools to review the file.
AWS & Azure Engineer at a media company with 11-50 employees
I am providing this feedback for Copilot because it seems more widespread and more companies allow it rather than Amp, and it would be beneficial if they catch up with Amp on this capability.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Security could make GitHub better. OWASP Top Ten security advisors could be integrated on GitHub, and it could provide checks and advice.

Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
senior DevOps engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.
Abdulmunafz Mct - PeerSpot reviewer
Full Stack Developer at Sri Krishna Arts and Science
Daily workflows have become streamlined as I manage projects, learn from clones, and host sites
The thing that has frustrated me is sometimes when I push using a Git command, I need to force the push, which is the main thing. The setup is frustrating because GitHub could add a repository with pre-installed packages or something since I need to install packages in VS Code before pushing and maintain it in the codebase. Git packages need to be installed manually, and if that was already in a GitHub repository, that would be much better. GitHub packages can be installed previously for the project upon the project requirement, and that is the thing I wanted to add here. That would be good. According to governance and security, I recently heard about some security issues in GitHub. I think that could be centralized and should consider those security issues and clear them. The AI capabilities there include Copilot or something else. I recently heard about security issues, but I do not know about it clearly. However, if security has been more tightened, it will be better.
