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.

Using advanced scanning to detect vulnerabilities and provide solutions with ease in CI/CD pipelines
I use Trivy for scanning Docker images and containers, as well as the entire file system to collect reports. I configure it in CI/CD pipelines Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies. Whenever vulnerabilities are found, it automatically provides…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing false positives and enhancing security day by day; after testing it on 100 to 200 systems, we convinced the client to deploy it across 6,000 workstations and over 500 servers."
"The threat detection capability of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has always been the major seller, and it works effectively."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has nearly saved us some amount, though I am not exactly sure of the numbers since the sales team handles the financial side, and what we have gained from CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is that EC2 downtime has been prevented and time has been saved considerably, around eight to ten hours per week through automatic onboarding and centralized visibility."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"I definitely recommend Trivy."
"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security include reducing its high cost, which is currently quite expensive, and enhancing the executive reports that are user-friendly for technical engineers but require improvement for higher management."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"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."
"I suggest improvements for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security in areas including vulnerability management and a more straightforward agent troubleshooting process."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"The main area for improvement is in differentiating between OS and application-based vulnerabilities."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
"Trivy is not scalable; however, I have scanned very large projects with it. It is stable but not scalable according to my experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"It's an expensive product"
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"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 price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
