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.

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 most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"It provides alerts on suspicious command executions, helping us safeguard our systems."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"Our security has been significantly increased and it is pretty stable in our environment, which is one thing that CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security literally gave us with a positive impact and makes it a good investment."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Trivy is particularly useful for checking if Docker images have critical vulnerabilities before they reach production."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"One of the great features of Trivy is that it helps me scan items such as AWS credentials and GCP service accounts."
"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."
"It's customizable, allowing me to add any rules and format HTML templates as I wish."
"Trivy's open source nature and wide functionality are incredibly valuable."
"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."
 

Cons

"There were some integration issues with this product."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"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."
"In our CI/CD pipelines, Trivy lacks built-in functionality for report analysis."
"The reporting could be a little better."
"Currently, the container image scanning is static. A dynamic scanning capability during runtime would be a significant advantage."
"The reporting could be a little better. When integrating Trivy with CI, the interpretation of the reports could be improved."
"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"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 package but does what it says it will do."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive product"
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
