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.

General Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Has struggled with performance and integration but supports critical safety verification

Execution speed of the tests and generally the integration into AWS-driven CI work chains or workflows represent how it can be improved in my opinion. Performance issues plus license costs are two main driving factors. The CI environments that we use employ up to around 40,000 virtual CPUs per day in peak, running at the same time. We always have problems distributing licenses accordingly with other products. I can talk to the experts doing the integration, but as far as I know, I was involved with Polyspace Code Prover and we had a lot of difficulties integrating it into our Bazel-driven CI toolchain, plus integrating it on the AWS environments in Linux that we use. It was much more straightforward using Code Sonar there. The reason is the execution speed, integration with Azure and stuff, and pricing. The CI integration and maybe a better-suited license model for CI-driven execution are other areas I recommend improving. That's something we discussed with all of the software companies whose products we use, such as compilers. We have a lot of parallel builds, and each call to a license server is actually problematic in the long run.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."

"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."

"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."

"The initial setup is easy ."

"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."

"Technical support is helpful."

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security pros

"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences."

"Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool."

"The product detects memory corruptions."

"The outputs are very reliable."

"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."

"Efficiency and speed are the advantages I see in Code Sonar over Polyspace Code Prover."

Cons

"In terms of improvement, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could expand into the remediation path."

"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."

"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."

"The only challenge lies in token verification."

"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."

"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."

"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."

"The main area for improvement is pricing, as it is quite expensive."

More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons

"Automation could be a challenge."

"Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes."

"The tool has some stability issues."

"I'd like the data to be taken from any format."

"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."

"I'm still trying to use constraints with range propagation, but I can't get it to work properly, and I haven't found any documentation."

"Because we had difficulties in efficiently integrating Polyspace Code Prover into our CI toolchain, these tests are mostly run manually and only occasionally."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."

"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."

"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."

"It's an expensive product"

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."

"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."

"The price is not too high, it is okay."
