We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security and Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"We like PingSafe's vulnerability assessment and management features, and its vulnerability databases."
"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. PingSafe helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."
"The mean time to detect has been reduced."
"The most valuable features of PingSafe are the asset inventory and issue indexing."
"We really appreciate the Slack integration. When we have an incident, we get an instant notification. We also use Joe Sandbox, which Singularity can integrate with, so we can verify if a threat is legitimate."
"The remediation process is good."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The solution helped free other staff to work on other projects or other tasks. We basically just had to do a bunch of upfront configuring. With it, we do not have to spend as much time in the console."
"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 posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"Technical support is helpful."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"We like the ability of the host security module to monitor the processes running on our servers to help us monitor activity."
"Technical support is very helpful."
"The rules are really great. They give us more visibility and control over what's being triggered. There's a large set of rules that come out-of-the-box. We can customize them and we can create our own rules based on the traffic patterns that we see."
"It has been quite helpful to have the daily alerts coming to my email, as well as the Sev 1 Alerts... We just went through a SOX audit and those were pivotal."
"Every other security tool we've looked is good at containers, or at Kubernetes, is good at AWS, or at instance monitoring. But nobody is good at tying all of those things together, and that's really where Threat Stack shines."
"We're using it on container to see when activity involving executables happens, and that's great."
"An important feature of this solution is monitoring. Specifically, container monitoring."
"Threat Stack has connectivity."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for PingSafe."
"There should be more documentation about the product."
"There is no break-glass account feature. They should implement this as soon as possible because we can't implement SSO without a break-glass feature."
"It would be really helpful if the solution improves its agent deployment process."
"In addition to the console alerts, I would like PingSafe to also send email notifications."
"The categorization of the results from the vulnerability assessment could be improved."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"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 compliance and governance need improvement."
"I would like further support of Windows endpoint agents or the introduction of support for Windows endpoint agents."
"The user interface can be a little bit clunky at times... There's a lot of information that needs to be waded through, and the UI just isn't great."
"The one thing that we know they're working on, but we don't have through the tool, is the application layer. As we move to a serverless environment, with AWS Fargate or direct Lambda, that's where Threat Stack does not have the capacity to provide feed. Those are areas that it's blind to now..."
"Some features do not work as expected."
"The API - which has grown quite a bit, so we're still learning it and I can't say whether it still needs improvement - was an area that had been needing it."
"They could give a few more insights into security groups and recommendations on how to be more effective. That's getting more into the AWS environment, specifically. I'm not sure if that's Threat Stack's plan or not, but I would like them to help us be efficient about how we're setting up security groups. They could recommend separation of VPCs and the like - really dig into our architecture. I haven't seen a whole lot of that and I think that's something that, right off the bat, could have made us smarter."
"It shoots back a lot of alerts."
