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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the real-time response, which allows me to log into a machine to pull files and check signatures for malicious activities, and the ability to restrict USB block storage usage on endpoints by policy."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"Falcon is a cloud-based technology, so its resource usage is light. You deploy the agents to your endpoints, but the processing is done on the cloud, so you're CPU utilization is only about 2 percent. Some others solutions use between 30 to 60 percent."
"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."
"I think the overall solution should be rated a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The pricing is very high and should be improved."
"It gets the work done, but the main problem with the solution is that if you remediate anything, it takes 45 days for you to get any of the features displayed on the dashboard. This is the real weakness of CrowdStrike. Their customer support is also not ready to help with it. If you remediate any cloud vulnerability that they are giving you, such as removing a host from your organization, it takes around 45 days for them to remove it from their console."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The file integrity monitoring feature should be enhanced and offered more control"
"There were some integration issues with this product."
"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 granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"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."
"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 is expensive, but it adds value."
"It's an expensive product"
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
