We have seen a return on investment through time saved and managed employee workload.
Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Kyndryl
The return on investment comes from the cost savings from the possible incidents we might have, as a server that has CrowdStrike is a server that is obviously protected, and it is much less likely to actually have a security incident.

Enterprise-level licensing is also available, which gives a significant ROI because the entire organization is using the tool.

Room For Improvement

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud needs UI simplicity, better integration, customization, and enhanced support, scalability, and pricing to improve functionality.
Mend.io needs UI updates, better reporting, flexible pricing, improved integrations, customizable options, and on-premises deployment.
If CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could implement pushing out remediation from the sensor installed on machines, that would be beneficial.
Security Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
It would be valuable to see nearly everything as if it were in the AWS console and have access to all those additional services from the AWS console without having to continue pivoting within AWS itself.
Incident Responder at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Another issue is the lack of proper documentation.
Security Engineer at ebryx
That's not a limitation of Mend.io; I think that's a general problem with any tool in the market because no tool in the market will actually know what portion of the code I'm actually using from that particular library if it is vulnerable or not.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
The actual challenge is how easy it is to integrate it in the early phase of the software development life cycle.
Principal Architect at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
I strongly recommend that they start working with AI for the reporting part.
VP at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find CrowdStrike Falcon's pricing justified by its scalability and features, though high for limited budgets.
Enterprise buyers of Mend.io find pricing varies; some find it competitive, others costly, with room for negotiation.

However, the main point is that even though it is expensive, it provides a huge capability to the organization.

The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is currently quite high, which is an area that needs improvement.

Featured Reviews

Manish Indupuri - PeerSpot reviewer
senior DevOps engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.
meetharoon - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Centralized security monitoring has reduced false positives and improves dependency governance
The only area for improvement I would say is that the false positives are nearly zero; everything is mostly like 99 to 99.99% or we can say 100% accurate. There were a few areas for improvement just from the last time I saw; I think the user experience had a little problem. We wanted to have certain reports based on our kind of scenario, but the tool did not allow us to create custom reports. We had asked for some facility and some ability for us to create some custom reports. That would be awesome if they allow us to create custom reports the way we wanted. There is one small area which I don't know whether we should call a tool limitation or a wish list; if I use a library and I don't use all the capabilities of the library but only a portion of it and that portion is not vulnerable, but there is a component which is outdated, that is a problem, even though I don't use that component. Mend.io will discover there is a problem in the whole library; that is correct. That's a valid discovery, but in my case, for example, if I don't use that particular portion, then it actually is not making sense for me, but that's not a limitation of Mend.io; I think that's a general problem with any tool in the market because no tool in the market will actually know what portion of the code I'm actually using from that particular library if it is vulnerable or not.
