Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems.""The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability.""It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly.""The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable.""Technical support is helpful.""Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features.""It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats.""The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."

"Within SCA, there is an extremely valuable feature called vulnerable methods. It is able to determine within a vulnerable library which methods are vulnerable. That is very valuable, because in the vast majority of cases where a library is vulnerable, none of the vulnerable methods are actually used by the code. So, if we want to prioritize the way open source libraries are updated when a library is found vulnerable, then we want to prioritize the libraries which have vulnerable methods used within the code.""I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them.""One of the features they have is Software Composition Analysis. When organizations use third-party, open source libraries with their application development, because they're open source they quite often have a lot of bugs. There are always patches coming out for those open source applications. You really have to stay on your toes and keep up with any third-party libraries that might be integrated into your application. Veracode's Software Composition Analysis scans those libraries and we find that very valuable.""I have found the user interface extremely helpful in prioritizing issues.""Code analysis tool to help identify code issues before entered into production.""I have used this solution in multiple projects for vulnerability testing and finding security leaks within the code.""The deployment mode is very useful.""Our development team use this solution for static code analysis and pen testing."

Cons
"The UI part needs to be improved.""One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal.""Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition.""CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive.""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.""There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage.""Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options.""The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."

"Veracode has plenty of data. The problem is the information on the dashboards of Veracode, as the user interface is not great. It's not immediately usable. Most of the time, the best way to use it is to just create issues and put them in JIRA... But if I were a startup, and only had products with a good user interface, I wouldn't use Veracode because the UI is very dated.""There needs to be better API integration to the development team's pipeline, which is something that is missing and needs to be improved.""Searching for applications in Veracode is a little bit difficult. We have to minimize the length of an application's name to 47 characters. It would be good if this limit could be increased so that an application's name can be properly reflected in Veracode.""When Veracode updates the pool of tests and security checks, it could be a little more transparent about what it is releasing. It's not clear what it's adding. They do thousands of checks, and when they add more, there aren't many details about what the new tests are doing.""The number of false positives could be reduced a lot. For each good result, we are getting somewhere around 15 to 20 false positives.""The support team could be more responsive, and the dependency of users on the support team is too high and should be reduced.""All areas of the solution could use some improvement.""The scanning is a little slow, but other than that it's fine. It's usually when the binaries get up into the multi-hundred megabyte size."

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."
  • "I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
  • "CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
  • "The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
  • "Its price is moderate."
  • More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its complexity makes it quite expensive, but it’s all worth it, with all the engineering in the background."
  • "The pricing is pretty high."
  • "The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
  • "I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."
  • "It's worth the value"
  • "Pricing seems fair for what is offered, and licensing has been no problem. All developers are able to get the access they need."
  • "It can be expensive to do this, so I would just make sure that you're getting the proper number of licenses. Do your analysis. Make sure you know exactly what it is you need, going in."
  • "The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."

    Overview

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a platform of cloud security solutions aimed at protecting organizations from breaches while simplifying cloud security management. The unified platform combines several cloud security functionalities for comprehensive protection. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, it leverages the powerful agent and technology used in CrowdStrike's renowned endpoint protection solutions, extending its capabilities seamlessly to cloud environments.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is designed to be a shield for the cloud infrastructure. One of its key strengths is its ability to monitor cloud workloads for potential breaches and attacks. It doesn't matter if you're running virtual machines, containers, or a combination of both across different cloud providers – Falcon Cloud Security offers visibility and protection. Additionally, it works tirelessly to pinpoint misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in your cloud setup, proactively stopping issues before they become full-blown security incidents. Compliance becomes easier too, as it can check if your deployments meet the requirements of various industry standards and regulations.

    If you heavily utilize containers and Kubernetes, Falcon Cloud Security has you covered. It delves deep into container images and running containers to spot weaknesses and potential threats, helping you secure your containerized applications from the moment they're developed to when they're up and running. Finally, it tackles the often messy world of permissions in the cloud. Falcon Cloud Security analyzes identities and their attached permissions, ensuring that the principle of least privilege is followed and sensitive data isn't exposed due to overly broad access rights.

    In essence, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security aims to simplify the complexities of cloud security by consolidating tools, providing a centralized view of your risks and threats, and delivering advanced protection that blends seamlessly with your development processes.

    Based on the interviews we conducted with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security users, overall, the sentiment is positive. Users praise the solution's efficacy in detecting and preventing threats, its ease of use, scalability, stability, and integration with existing systems.
