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.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The scalability of the product has been great."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"The threat intelligence is the most vital feature"
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira."
"The solution has great features and is quite stable."
"Static code analysis is one of the best features of the solution."
"The valuable aspect is its security capabilities."
"It has an accurate database of vulnerabilities with a low amount of false positives."
"Its reports are nice and provide information about the issue as well as resolution. They also provide a proper fix. If there's an issue, they provide information in detail about how to remediate that issue."
"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."
"There are many valuable features. For example, the way the scanning feature works. The integration is cool because I can integrate it and I don't need to wait until the CACD, I can plug it in to our local ID, and there I can do the scanning. That is the part I like best."
 

Cons

"I would not say the tool's integration capabilities were straightforward because the complexity depends on the volume of the data."
"Customers would benefit it CrowdStrike adopted some of SentinelOne's technologies."
"The tool should do some more tests before going for updates automatically."
"The user interface needs improvement as it's sometimes difficult to locate specific dashboards or reports."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"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."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"Because Snyk has so many integrations and so many things it can do, it's hard to really understand all of them and to get that information to each team that needs it... If there were more self-service, perhaps tutorials or overviews for new teams or developers, so that they could click through and see things themselves, that would help."
"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory. Therefore, it can be slow at times, especially because there are a lot of projects and reporting. Some UI improvements could help with this."
"The documentation sometimes is not relevant. It does not cover the latest updates, scanning, and configurations. The documentation for some things is wrong and does not cover some configuration scannings for the multiple project settings."
"The way Snyk notifies if we have an issue, there are a few options: High vulnerability or medium vulnerability. The problem with that is high vulnerabilities are too broad, because there are too many. If you enable notifications, you get a lot of notifications, When you get many notifications, they become irrelevant because they're not specific. I would prefer to have control over the notifications and somehow decide if I want to get only exploitable vulnerabilities or get a specific score for a vulnerability. Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message. Therefore, we would like some type of filtering system to be built-in for the system to be more precise."
"The feature for automatic fixing of security breaches could be improved."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"It is expensive, but it adds value."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"It's an expensive product"
"Its price is moderate."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
"The license model is based on the number of contributing developers. Snyk is expensive, for a startup company will most likely use the community edition, while larger companies will buy the licensed version. The price of Snyk is more than other SLA tools."
"It's good value. That's the primary thing. It's not cheap-cheap, but it's good value."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
