Features: JFrog Xray provides comprehensive vulnerability scanning, integration with various DevOps tools, and efficient detection of issues in software components. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers advanced threat detection, immediate response capabilities, and detailed incident analysis. The primary distinction is that JFrog Xray focuses on software composition analysis, while CrowdStrike Falcon emphasizes endpoint protection with real-time threat intelligence.

Room for Improvement: JFrog Xray could improve in performance speed, particularly with large repositories, and require enhanced reporting capabilities. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security needs more intuitive user management and periodic updates to ease functionality. The difference lies in JFrog Xray needing optimization for larger datasets, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon could benefit from user role enhancements and regular updates.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Users find JFrog Xray manageable to deploy but occasionally complex, requiring well-documented guides. JFrog’s customer service receives commendations for responsiveness. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is praised for its relatively straightforward deployment and highly rated support team.

Featured Reviews

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.

Mokshi Pandita - PeerSpot reviewer
An intelligent solution that prioritizes which vulnerability to target first in your project
We could create any number of repositories, but we can create only thirty projects with JFrog Xray. If I want things to work, it has to be one project and multiple repositories that belong to different real projects. So I have a limitation of thirty projects, despite being a premium customer. JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard. Although I am able to generate reports, there is no proper dashboard where I can see the total number of vulnerabilities, the total number of license issues, and how many vulnerabilities are fixed. Second, I found the shift left approach missing with JFrog Xray. JFrog Xray has integration with IDEs, but it does not tell you about the vulnerabilities until the artifact is created. However, Snyk could directly integrate with your repository and would not allow you to build unless you fix the problem.

"Good reporting functionalities."
"The most valuable features of JFrog Xray are its curation capabilities, its native integration with Artifactory, scanning for vulnerabilities, and license compliance features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
More JFrog Xray pros
 

Cons

"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"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."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower."
"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."
More CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security cons
"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."
"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."
"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"The out-of-the-box PostgreSQL provided is not stable, which is why we are considering enterprise support."
"X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL."
More JFrog Xray cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"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."
"Its price is moderate."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."

Overview

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a platform of cloud security solutions aimed at protecting organizations from breaches while simplifying cloud security management. The unified platform combines several cloud security functionalities for comprehensive protection. Built on the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, it leverages the powerful agent and technology used in CrowdStrike's renowned endpoint protection solutions, extending its capabilities seamlessly to cloud environments.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is designed to be a shield for the cloud infrastructure. One of its key strengths is its ability to monitor cloud workloads for potential breaches and attacks. It doesn't matter if you're running virtual machines, containers, or a combination of both across different cloud providers – Falcon Cloud Security offers visibility and protection. Additionally, it works tirelessly to pinpoint misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in your cloud setup, proactively stopping issues before they become full-blown security incidents. Compliance becomes easier too, as it can check if your deployments meet the requirements of various industry standards and regulations.

If you heavily utilize containers and Kubernetes, Falcon Cloud Security has you covered. It delves deep into container images and running containers to spot weaknesses and potential threats, helping you secure your containerized applications from the moment they're developed to when they're up and running. Finally, it tackles the often messy world of permissions in the cloud. Falcon Cloud Security analyzes identities and their attached permissions, ensuring that the principle of least privilege is followed and sensitive data isn't exposed due to overly broad access rights.

In essence, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security aims to simplify the complexities of cloud security by consolidating tools, providing a centralized view of your risks and threats, and delivering advanced protection that blends seamlessly with your development processes.

Based on the interviews we conducted with CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security users, overall, the sentiment is positive. Users praise the solution's efficacy in detecting and preventing threats, its ease of use, scalability, stability, and integration with existing systems. There were also mentions of areas for improvement, such as the pricing, the user interface, and customer support.
