Used for static comprehension testing and helps us detect vulnerabilities early
We mainly use this solution for static comprehension testing We use it for non-functional insight because it's a security vulnerability scanner. We can use Checkmarx for scanning anytime on our code base. We integrated that as part of our build-a-pipeline, and it helps us detect early. We have…

A robust and effective EDR solution that mitigates threats quickly
I am a cybersecurity analyst, responsible for conducting log and user activity analysis, managing and escalating support tickets, and overseeing performance monitoring, phishing analysis, and incident response for the company's systems. We use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security as our primary…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"The most valuable feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."
"Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes."
"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"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."
"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 RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
 

Cons

"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks."
"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"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 would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"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."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."
"The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."
"The average deal size was usually anywhere between $120K to $175K on an annual basis, which could be divided across 12 months."
"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
"The tool's pricing is fine."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Its price is moderate."
"It's an expensive product"
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
