Has improved threat detection accuracy and helped monitor endpoints across hybrid environments
The most valuable capabilities of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security relate to preventing attacks caused by human error, such as when someone plugs in a USB device or downloads something without caution. It automatically blocks duplication and activities that could result in data loss, effectively preventing unintended copying of data to personal devices. Deduplication prevention is definitely the most valuable feature. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security excels in threat detection with a vast investigation structure, allowing us to verify suspicious activities to identify root causes. It helps us trace back to the origin and fix issues, making it a user-friendly tool for this kind of detection. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is built on AI and ML technology, enabling it to detect various threats and block suspicious activities immediately, which is particularly effective compared to traditional AVs and EDRs. The analytics provided by CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is key for maintaining a proactive security posture. Its AI and ML foundations offer extensive information on threats and suspicious activities, making it renowned for analysis in the industry.

Integrates pipelines smoothly and fortifies code against vulnerabilities
I use Veracode in multiple places including static code analysis, penetration testing, and dynamic code analysis. It is part of our pipeline and integrates well with Bitbucket and Git pipelines The ease of integration with Bitbucket pipelines and Git pipelines is vital for us. Veracode allows us…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, Cortex Cloud by Palo Alto Networks is a technically strong product, and I rate it ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"I have contacted customer service, and they are fast."
"There is a lot that it can do, but endpoint protection is the main thing about it. The fact that it uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to monitor and remediate the issues in real-time is probably the bread and butter of the product."
"Within SCA, there is an extremely valuable feature called vulnerable methods. It is able to determine within a vulnerable library which methods are vulnerable. That is very valuable, because in the vast majority of cases where a library is vulnerable, none of the vulnerable methods are actually used by the code. So, if we want to prioritize the way open source libraries are updated when a library is found vulnerable, then we want to prioritize the libraries which have vulnerable methods used within the code."
"Being able to scan our applications and identify all codes and defects is an extremely valuable feature."
"My experience with Veracode across the board every time, in all products, the technology, the product, the service, and the salespeople is fabulous."
"Provides consistent evaluation and results without huge fluctuations in false positives or negatives."
"Veracode helped with policy compliance."
"In terms of secure development, the SAST scan is very useful because we are able to identify security flaws in the code base itself, for the application."
"Veracode has impacted our overall security posture because we are from a security background. Every week, we review the dashboards of open findings."
"It is a cloud-based platform, so every organization or every security team in the organization is concerned about uploading their code because ultimately the code is intellectual property. The most useful thing about Veracode is that if you want to upload the code, they accept only byte code. They do not accept the plain source code as an input. The code is converted into binary code, and it is uploaded to Veracode. So, it is quite secure. It also has the automation feature where you can integrate security during the initial stages of your software development life cycle. It is pretty much easy with Veracode. Veracode provides integration with multiple tools and platforms, such as Visual Studio, Java, and Eclipse. Developers can integrate with those tools by using Jenkins. The security consultation or the support that they provide is also really good. Its user management is also good. You can restrict the users for a particular application so that only certain developers will be able to see the code that has been scanned. Their reporting model is really good. For each customer, they provide a program manager. Every quarter, they have their reviews about how much it has scanned. They also ensure that the tool has been used efficiently."
 

Cons

"Some aspects of the GUI can be confusing and make it difficult for me to find certain options or navigate where needed."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The tool is expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The improvements needed for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security include reducing its high cost, which is currently quite expensive, and enhancing the executive reports that are user-friendly for technical engineers but require improvement for higher management."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The CrowdStrike partner portal documentation could be improved to provide proper instructions for integrating their products."
"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."
"On-premise implementation is not available."
"One of the most important areas that need improvement for Veracode is its DaaS. Veracode's DAST engines are primitive."
"The solution should include monthly guidelines, a calendar, or a newsletter highlighting the top vulnerabilities and how to resolve them using Veracode. Its policies should be up-to-date with NIST standards and OWASP policies."
"Veracode Static Analysis could improve the terminology. For example, I do not know what the sandbox scan does. The terminology and the way they have used it are quite confusing. They should have a process of capturing problems that users are having on their end."
"It can have more APIs and capabilities to handle other things well. We were doing a trial for it. There were two things that I looked at: one was uploading some Java-related content and the other was uploading database SQL files and having the review done on the quarterback. The Java portion of it worked fine, and it was pretty seamless, but the database portion was not. We uploaded some files to use for vulnerabilities, and the tell-all portion of it was pretty easy. We uploaded a war file and Java files, and we got the reports back on these. They were pretty clear to understand. We did the same thing for the database portion for the most part. However, the content wasn't getting uploaded in a predictable fashion, and it was slow and hard to get done. We had to do it over and over. After it indicated that the content was uploaded, there were no results. There were zero search findings. It was possibly a user error, something that we didn't do correctly, but they had acknowledged that it was something they were currently enhancing. This is something that could be made easier if they haven't already done that. I don't know how many releases they've had in that timeframe. I haven't looked at it since then. It was a trial period."
"I've seen slightly better static analysis tools from other companies when it comes to speed and ease of use."
"Veracode can improve the licensing model as it is a bit confusing."
"The negative that I found is that it has a subscription-based model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"It's an expensive product"
"Its price is moderate."
"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."
"The pricing is fair for what you get. I'd rate them a solid nine out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The pricing is fair."
"I'm unfamiliar with the solution's pricing, but it must be worth the cost from a company perspective, as we have been using it for years and have no plans to move away from it."
"Without getting too specific, I'd say the average yearly cost is around $50,000. The costs include licensing and maintenance support."
"The pricing and licensing are reasonable, and relatively straightforward, and different licensing and subscription models are available."
"The pricing for Veracode is high, making it difficult for beginners to afford."
"The pricing of the product depends upon the number of codes or the number of applications."
"It is expensive. It depends on the use case, but it is very hard to find a pricing page on their website. Instead, they need to analyze your use case, but without knowing the entire project and how you're going to be using Veracode, how many scans you're going to do, if yours is a small business, it is very expensive and it affects ROI."
"We use this product per project rather than per developer... Your development model will really determine what the best fit is for you in terms of licensing, because of the project-based licensing. If you do a few projects, that's more attractive. If you have a large number of developers, that would also make the product a little more attractive."
