Featured Reviews

Andrew W - PeerSpot reviewer
Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.
Utsav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Maintain operational efficiency by detecting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities
The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma. It also offers repository scanning in the source code domain, allowing pre-push code scans. The misconfiguration detection works well for CloudFormation, Docker files, and Terraform. Its compliance support, like NIST, ensures that configurations align with standards. Trivy helps me significantly detect misconfigurations missed by the ops engineers or in Terraform by the naked eye. It ensures that my deployments are free of misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud Native Security's evidence-based reporting allows us to prioritize issues by understanding their impact, helping us resolve the most important problems first."
"The UI is very good."
"I would rate SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security a nine out of ten."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has improved our security posture."
"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security has saved up to 50 percent in engineering time."
"Overall, I would rate it a ten on ten for cloud security."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"I did a lot of research before signing up and doing the demo. They have a good reputation as far as catching threats early on."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I appreciate Trivy for being open-source and not requiring any payment."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"I definitely recommend Trivy."
 

Cons

"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers real-time response, there is room for improvement in alert accuracy."
"I believe the UI/UX updates for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security have room for improvement."
"They can add more widgets to its dashboard. A centralized dashboard with numerous metrics would improve user understanding."
"I would prefer to see SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM and CSPM."
"Crafting customized policies can be tricky."
"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."
"I'd like to see better onboarding documentation."
"There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
"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."
"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I'm slightly out of touch with pricing, I know SentinelOne is much cheaper than other products."
"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"I am personally not taking care of the pricing part, but when we moved from CrowdStrike to PingSafe, there were some savings. The price of CrowdStrike was quite high. Compared to that, the price of PingSafe was low. PingSafe is charging based on the subscription model. If I want to add an AWS subscription, I need to pay more. It should not be based on subscription. It should be based on the number of servers that I am scanning."
"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."
"The price depends on the extension of the solution that you want to buy. If you want to buy just EDR, the price is less. XDR is a little bit more expensive. There are going to be different add-ons for Singularity."
"While SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers robust protection, its high cost may be prohibitive for small and medium-sized businesses."
"It is cost-effective compared to other solutions in the market."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"It's an expensive product"
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"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."
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
