Tells us about vulnerabilities as well as their impact and helps to focus on real issues
Looking at all the different pieces, it has got everything we need. Some of the pieces we do not even use. For example, we do not have Kubernetes Security. We are not running any K8 clusters, so it is good for us. Overall, we find the solution to be fantastic. There can be additional education components. This may not be truly fair to them because of what the product is going for, but it would be great to see additional education for compliance. It is not a criticism of the tool per se, but anything to help non-development resources understand some of the complexities of the cloud is always appreciated. Any additional educational resources are always helpful for security teams, especially those without a development background.

Enhances the overall safety of our company's environment from cyber threats
I use CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security primarily for endpoint protection, including detection and response. It acts like a modern antivirus, automatically detecting and responding to threats based on defined policies. Additionally, it offers a vulnerability management module, highlighting machine…

Helps with Zero-day protection
We use the solution for Zero-day protection.  The solution stops any kind of remote code execution.  The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load.  I have been using the product for a year.  I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten.  I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Support has been very helpful and provides regular feedback and help whenever needed. They've been very useful."
"You not only get to know about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations but also some of the actual"
"The dashboard gives me an overview of all the things happening in the product, making it one of the tool's best features."
"We liked the search bar in PingSafe. It is a global search. We were able to get some insights from there."
"The UI is responsive and user-friendly."
"PingSafe's integration is smooth. They are highly customer-oriented, and the integration went well for us."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"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 most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"Implementing single sign-on requires a pre-class account feature, which is currently not available."
"A few YouTube videos could be helpful. There isn't a lot of information out there to look at."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"While it is good, I think the solution's console could be improved."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"The application module focuses on the different codes and libraries that can be run on the machines. It is very important for Singularity EDR to detect what type of codes and what type of libraries can run in the machine. If they can implement a white list or a black list of codes or libraries that can be used in the machine, it would be very helpful. They can focus more on the application module."
"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 UI part needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap."
"PingSafe falls somewhere in the middle price range, neither particularly cheap nor expensive."
"We have an enterprise license. It is affordable. I'm not sure, but I think we pay 150,000 rupees per month."
"PingSafe is fairly priced."
"Their pricing appears to be based simply on the number of accounts we have, which is common for cloud-based products."
"PingSafe is priced reasonably for our workload."
"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."
"Its pricing was a little less than other providers."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"Its price is moderate."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"It's an expensive product"
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
