Pros
"The most valuable feature of CloudCheckr CMx High Security is granular reporting. Additionally, the user interface is easy to use.""It's one of the leading players for cloud optimization. It's hard to find anything better.""It will automatically suggest areas for optimization.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The solution is mostly stable.""The recommendation section is pretty helpful.""The best feature I like about CloudCheckr CMx High Security is its simplicity. I love that it's not rocket science to use the solution. Even if you're not familiar with the cloud, you can easily figure out how to use CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You can use AWS, you can use Azure, and you can use GCP with the solution because the integration is quite simple. You can also use multi-cloud with it, and you could see the billing part. You'll have complete visibility into your cost which I love about the solution. I also love that data on any security issues and vulnerabilities are available on the go with CloudCheckr CMx High Security. You don't need to do anything different. Just run the scan and you'll have all these open findings in the tool, in terms of the priority level, so if it's critical, it will tell you, "It's critical," and you need to fix it right away.""The solution is scalable for our purposes."

"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly.""The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected.""The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability.""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.""The initial setup is easy .""The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable.""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."

Cons
"The solution needs to work better with larger capacities of data.""The performance of the tool really needs to be improved.""Self-healing could be a bit smoother and a bit cleaner, easier to access and more functional. That would help.""CloudCheckr CMx High Security is complex. There are a lot of menus, and if you do not know what you are looking for you can get lost. However, the interface is self-explanatory. It's easy to understand where to go to get what you want.""What needs to be improved in CloudCheckr CMx High Security is integration. All the clouds are going quite fast, for example, all the cloud providers: Microsoft, Google, etc. CloudCheckr CMx High Security is good with AWS, no doubt about it, but with Azure and Google Cloud, I find that the solution is slow in that direction. If the vendor planned for CloudCheckr CMx High Security to be automated just for AWS, then it does make sense. If not, if the vendor is also targeting good integration with Google and Microsoft, then CloudCheckr CMx High Security integration needs improvement, in particular, it has to be faster. At the moment, its integration with Azure is not as good as its integration with AWS. With GCP, integration is nowhere.""Many features still need to be implemented in this tool.""The solution must improve its user interface.""The reporting and analytic capabilities are very limited."

More CloudCheckr Cons →

"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory.""The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing.""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.""The UI part needs to be improved.""There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage.""The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field.""The only challenge lies in token verification.""Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
