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."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"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 immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"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."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The most valuable features are their GitLab and JIRA integrations. The GitLab integration lets us pull projects in pretty easily, so that it's pretty minimal for developers to get it set up. Using the JIRA integration, it's also pretty easy to get the information that is generated, as a result of that GitLab integration, back to our teams in a non-intrusive way and in a workflow that we are already using."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"The code scans on the source code itself were valuable."
"The CLI feature is quite useful because it gives us a lot of flexibility in what we want to do. If you use the UI, all the information is there and you can see what Snyk is showing you, but there is nothing else that you can change. However, when you use the CLI, then you can use commands and can get the output or response back from Snyk. You can also take advantage of that output in a different way. For the same reason, we have been using the CLI for the hard gate in the pipeline: Obtain a particular CDSS score for vulnerability. Based on that information, we can then decide if we want to block or allow the build. We have more flexibility if we use the CLI."
"The most valuable feature is that they add a lot of their own information to the vulnerabilities. They describe vulnerabilities and suggest their own mitigations or version upgrades. The information was the winning factor when we compared Snyk to others. This is what gave it more impact."
"Snyk helps me pinpoint security errors in my code."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features include enriched information around the vulnerabilities for better triaging, in terms of the vulnerability layer origin and vulnerability tree."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"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."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory. Therefore, it can be slow at times, especially because there are a lot of projects and reporting. Some UI improvements could help with this."
"The tool's initial use is complex."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features. Checkmarx and Veracode provide dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning, but Snyk doesn't do that. That's the reason there is more inclination towards Veracode, Checkmarx, or AppScan. These are a few tools available in the market that do all four types of scanning: static, dynamic, interactive, and run-time."
"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."
"The documentation sometimes is not relevant. It does not cover the latest updates, scanning, and configurations. The documentation for some things is wrong and does not cover some configuration scannings for the multiple project settings."
"I would like to give further ability to grouping code repositories, in such a way that you could group them by the teams that own them, then produce alerting to those teams. The way that we are seeing it right now, the alerting only goes to a couple of places. I wish we could configure the code to go to different places."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"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..."
