We performed a comparison between Snyk and CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Snyk is praised for its developer-friendly approach, seamless integration, compatibility with containers, and partnership with Docker. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is renowned for following security best practices. Users like its lightweight cloud-integrated agent integrated and its ability to leverage AI for endpoint protection. Snyk could enhance its compatibility and expand its vulnerability database. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security's user interface could use an update.
Service and Support: Snyk support has received positive feedback about the helpfulness and responsiveness of their team, but others want Snyk to manage support requests better. Customers of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security are mostly satisfied with their customer service.
Ease of Deployment: Users generally find the initial setup for Snyk to be simple and smooth, with excellent assistance from the Snyk team. The initial setup for CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is also manageable, but a few users required support during deployment and faced difficulties with Kubernetes implementation.
Pricing: Snyk has considered more expensive than other solutions, while CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is regarded as reasonably priced. However, the cloud option for CrowdStrike can be more costly than many on-premises alternatives.
ROI: Snyk provides a budget-friendly option for finding open-source vulnerabilities, which may offset the yearly subscription costs. CrowdStrike's return on investment is not fixed and relies heavily on such factors as the industry and implementation approach.
Comparison Results: Snyk is generally preferred over CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security. Users appreciate Snyk's ease of setup, developer-friendly nature, and robust feature set. Snyk's compatibility with containers and partnership with Docker make it a popular choice for developers. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security could improve its user interface and pricing to become more competitive.
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"Snyk performs software composition analysis (SCA) similar to other expensive tools."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the software composition analysis."
"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."
"The solution's vulnerability database, in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy, is very high-level. As far as I know, it's the best among their competitors."
"We have integrated it into our software development environment. We have it in a couple different spots. Developers can use it at the point when they are developing. They can test it on their local machine. If the setup that they have is producing alerts or if they need to upgrade or patch, then at the testing phase when a product is being built for automated testing integrates with Snyk at that point and also produces some checks."
"The most valuable features include enriched information around the vulnerabilities for better triaging, in terms of the vulnerability layer origin and vulnerability tree."
"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 only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."
"We have seen cases where tools didn't find or recognize certain dependencies. These are known issues, to some extent, due to the complexity in the language or stack that you using. There are some certain circumstances where the tool isn't actually finding what it's supposed to be finding, then it could be misleading."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"A feature we would like to see is the ability to archive and store historical data, without actually deleting it. It's a problem because it throws my numbers off. When I'm looking at the dashboard's current vulnerabilities, it's not accurate."
"It can be improved from the reporting perspective and scanning perspective. They can also improve it on the UI front."
"We would like to have upfront knowledge on how easy it should be to just pull in an upgraded dependency, e.g., even introduce full automation for dependencies supposed to have no impact on the business side of things. Therefore, we would like some output when you get the report with the dependencies. We want to get additional information on the expected impact of the business code that is using the dependency with the newer version. This probably won't be easy to add, but it would be helpful."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
