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.
Anuradha.Kapoor Kapoor - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms
We have found that so many times, false positive bugs are there, and then we spend a lot of time basically separating them from real bugs. So that's the reason we are looking for some other tool. So we were in discussion with Acunetix. Therefore, the false positive rate is, like, something that we would like to improve. What we are looking for is if this false positive rate goes down because we were OWASP Zap tool users, which was free anyway. But there were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it. So then we thought, okay, why not we go with the tool? Even if it is not very expensive. But still, every year, we have to renew the license. And we got this tool. Again, we found that in this tool also, even if it is less, there are still a lot of false positive bugs out there. So we again have to spend so much time. So we hired a security tester, who was basically using Acunetix in his previous company for almost three years, and then you said that in that scanning is very slow. The scanning is also slow. Like, sometimes the site scan takes eight hours, six to eight hours. Yeah. And whereas in Acunetix, it took three to four hours. And plus, there are no false positives. I'm not saying none but there's very little. But here, the rate sometimes is very high. These are the two features I think we would like to improve further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"It helps us by automatically blocking certain applications or activities."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."
"The solution is stable."
"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."
 

Cons

"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 pricing is very high and should be improved."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"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."
"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 CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."
"One area for improvement is the integrated browser, Chromium. Single Sign-On (SSO) methods like Microsoft authentication login sometimes fail and show errors. As a workaround, I have to use a different browser, such as Firefox, to log in and make Burp work."
"The number of false positives need to be reduced on the solution."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"One area that can be improved, when compared to alternative tools, is that they could provide different reporting options and in different formats like PDF or something like that."
"The one feature that I would like to see in Burp is active scanning of REST based web services. A lot of organizations are providing APIs to access their services to support different business models like SaaS. Scanning these APIs is still a challenge for many security product companies."
"The tool is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"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."
"Burp Suite is affordable."
"They should reduce the license cost a little bit. It is $400 per user, and it would be better if they could reduce the licensing fee."
"I rate the pricing a four out of ten."
"PortSwigger is reasonably-priced. It's fair."
"We have one license. The price is very nominal."
"This solution requires a license. It is expensive but you receive a lot of functionality for the price."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable. We only need to pay for the annual subscription. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The solution used to be expensive. However, they have reduced the price to approximately $400.00 which is reasonable."
