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.

"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"It's positively affected the communication between cloud security, application developers, and AppSec teams."
"The UI is very good."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"The management console is the most valuable feature."
"PingSafe offers an intuitive user interface that lets us navigate quickly and easily."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The dependency checks of the libraries are very valuable, but the licensing part is also very important because, with open source components, licensing can be all over the place. Our project is not an open source project, but we do use quite a lot of open source components and we want to make sure that we don't have surprises in there."
"Our customers find container scans most valuable. They are always talking about it."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"What is valuable about Snyk is its simplicity."
"A main feature of Snyk is that when you go with SCA, you do get properly done security composition, also from the licensing and open-source parameters perspective. A lot of companies often use open-source libraries or frameworks in their code, which is a big security concern. Snyk deals with all the things and provides you with a proper report about whether any open-source code or framework that you are using is vulnerable. In that way, Snyk is very good as compared to other tools."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"There's room for improvement in the graphic explorer."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity."
"The Automation tab is an add-on that doesn’t work properly. They provide a list of scripts that don’t work and I have asked support to assist but they won’t help. When running on various endpoints the script doesn’t work and if it does, it’s only a couple. There are a lot of useful scripts that would be beneficial to run forensics, event logs, and process lists running on the endpoint."
"PingSafe takes four to five hours to detect and highlight an issue, and that time should be reduced."
"The alerting system of the product is an area that I look at and sometimes get confused about. I feel the alerting feature needs improvement."
"Currently, we would have to export our vulnerability report to an .xlsx file, and review it in an Excel spreadsheet, and then we sort of compile a list from there. It would be cool if there was a way to actually toggle multiple applications for review and then see those file paths on multiple users rather than only one user at a time or only one application at a time."
"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 threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"We have to integrate with their database, which means we need to send our entire code to them to scan, and they send us the report. A company working in the financial domain usually won't like to share its code or any information outside its network with any third-party provider."
"We tried to integrate it into our software development environment but it went really badly. It took a lot of time and prevented the developers from using the IDE. Eventually, we didn't use it in the development area... I would like to see better integrations to help the developers get along better with the tool. And the plugin for the IDE is not so good. This is something we would like to have..."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"It would be helpful if we get a recommendation while doing the scan about the necessary things we need to implement after identifying the vulnerabilities."
"The feature for automatic fixing of security breaches could be improved."
"We were using Microsoft Docker images. It was reporting some vulnerabilities, but we were not able to figure out the fix for them. It was reporting some vulnerabilities in the Docker images given by Microsoft, which were out of our control. That was the only limitation. Otherwise, it was good."
"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."
