Syed Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup
In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The tool's valuable features include integrating GPT and Copilot. Additionally, the UI web representation is very user-friendly, making navigation easy. GPT has made several improvements to my security code."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"The process of remediating software security vulnerabilities can now be performed (ongoing) as portions of the application are being built in advance of being compiled."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"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."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking."
"The tool is currently quite static in terms of finding security vulnerabilities. It would be great if it was more dynamic and we had even more tools at our disposal to keep us safe. It would help if there was more scanning or if the process was more automated."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"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."
"The tool could give us more templates so that people who are not updated with the platform can easily get acquainted with how to secure and utilize the product more."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is fine."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."
"Checkmarx is comparatively costlier than other products, which is why some of the customers feel reluctant to go for it, though performance-wise, Checkmarx can compete with other products."
"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."
"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."
"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."
"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 price is not too high, it is okay."
"Its price is moderate."
"It's an expensive product"
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
