Provides centralized visibility and real-time threat detection across multiple cloud accounts
Regarding how CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security can be improved, I would say they can improve their support. There were a couple of cases where we needed to escalate issues in order to get proper support. That part could use some tweaking on their end. Additionally, the recent incident during the last summer literally impacted our systems. We had some of our workloads that affected the business, and it was a difficult experience. Apart from that, it is a good tool and the experience with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has been excellent. We did not find any kind of issues, but if they could improve their response to security-related incidents and provide on-time support or better understand our concerns and address them accordingly, it could be very helpful. Regarding needed improvements, I think they should enhance automatic alerting with CI/CD scanning and reporting capabilities. Additionally, it would be better to implement Falcon sensor health monitoring so agents are always active. We could know how it is behaving and how it is treating our environment. That could be a little helpful.

I use Trivy for scanning Docker images and containers, as well as the entire file system to collect reports. I configure it in CI/CD pipelines Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies. Whenever vulnerabilities are found, it automatically provides…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security has positively impacted my organization by reducing false positives and enhancing security day by day; after testing it on 100 to 200 systems, we convinced the client to deploy it across 6,000 workstations and over 500 servers."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly and provides detection transparency, allowing us to present real-time documentation to our executives clearly explaining any detected issues."
"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."
"It is open-source."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
"Trivy is most valuable for its ability to scan all repository files and dependencies."
"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"I appreciate Trivy for being open-source and not requiring any payment."
"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."
 

Cons

"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The user interface can be complex for first-time users, so the dashboards need improvement."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"The main area for improvement is in differentiating between OS and application-based vulnerabilities."
"Trivy is not scalable; however, I have scanned very large projects with it. It is stable but not scalable according to my experience."
"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."
"For malware detection, I need to use two tools: Trivy as my anomaly scanner and ClamAV. I am integrating these two tools into the CI pipeline. If both malware and anomaly detection could be managed by one tool, I would not need to depend on two tools. That would be my suggestion."
"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."
 

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."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"Its price is moderate."
"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."
"It's an expensive product"
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
