Featured Reviews

Jasmin Surani - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances the overall safety of our company's environment from cyber threats
The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance. The centralized console is a huge advantage, letting me manage everything from one place. It also allows running scripts directly on machines through the portal, making it highly convenient.
Wang Dayong - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to integrate and has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages
The product provides false reports sometimes. It also fails to understand the context of the code. It reports that a line of code has issues without considering its relation with the previous line. The product should improve the report quality. While it asks us to improve the code quality, it would be good if it also suggests how to improve the quality.

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 auto-detection capability for threat hunting and issuing advisories on remedies."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The solution's user interface is very user-friendly."
"SonarQube is a fantastic tool which saves us precious time."
"SonarQube is designed well making it easy to use, simple to identify issues and find solutions to problems."
"The features of SonarQube that I find most valuable for identifying code smells are its comprehensive code analysis capabilities, which cover various aspects of code sustainability."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard reports and the ease of integrating it with Jenkins."
"With SonarQube's web interface, it is easy to drill down to see the individual problems, but also to look at the project from above and get the big picture, with possible larger problem areas."
"The initial setup is simple. It requires some security, but it's simple."
"This has improved our organization because it has helped to find Security Vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"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."
"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."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"In terms of analysis and findings, other tools provide more in-depth insights and detailed steps to mitigate or handle issues."
"SonarQube needs to improve its support model. They do not work 24/7, and they do not provide weekend support in case things go wrong. They only have a standard 8:00 am to 5:00 pm support model in which you have to raise a support ticket and wait. The support model is not effective for premium customers."
"During the setup process, we only had one issue related to the number of available files. To perform the analysis, you have quite a lot of available file handles, so we had to increase that limit."
"We found a solution with dynamic testing, and are looking to find a solution that can be used for both types of testing."
"This is a well-rounded solution, however, some features could be made available on the free version. The price of the solution could be reduced."
"We have tens of millions of code to be analyzed and processed. There can be some performance degradation if we are applying Sonar Link to large code or code that is complex. When the code had to be analyzed is when we ran into the main issues. There were several routines involved to solve those performance issues but this process should be improved."
"The documentation is not clear and it needs to be updated."
"Technical support and the price could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"Its price is moderate."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"We're using their free Community Edition version."
"I was using the Community Edition, which is available free of charge."
"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of cost."
"The solution is cheaper than other products."
"This product is open source and very convenient."
"I do not know about the pricing as I am using the community edition, which is free. But I compared the pricing with Sigma, and it is higher than SonarQube."
"On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code."
"SonarQube is a cost-effective solution."
