"Crowdsec - High Performance Multilayer Security"
4/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

Crowdsec is best suit to run seamlessly on virtual machines, bare-metal servers, containers or can be called directly from your code through API. It is an open-source end-point detection and response software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Although being a good product, it is lessly marketed. It needs to be more brought to the open source market. There are more similar products which are given more push..

Also crowdsec currently cannot be put on all kinds of IT hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jean Devaux of CrowdSec

Hi there.

Many thanks for your comment. We are doing our best to make our product as visible as possible to open-source communities and help the greater number with their security. We are working to find new ways to spread the word continuously. When it comes to hardware integration, it's a wide topic and we are taking steps to make it more compatible.

"Collaborative security at its best"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

What I like about Crowdsec is how easy it is to set up the solution.

The documentation is well done, and the tool is open source.

The collaborative aspect is essential because it allows better prevention of security risks.

Moreover, the local API and the bouncers' mode of operation make the tool very flexible for any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

I think it still lacks a bit of diversity on bouncers and ready-made collections. But that doesn't block anything as everyone is free to create their bouncers and collections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jean Devaux of CrowdSec

Hi Manuel,

We appreciate your feedback. We, as well as the user community, keep releasing new bouncers and collections which can be found on our Hub. Much more will be added in the coming weeks and months!

See how CrowdSec improved

"A real protection for my servers"
5/5
What do you like best about CrowdSec?

I used to love Fail2ban and I love even more what the team has been able to achieve with CrowdSec. It is easy to install and deploy. The mitigation part through bouncers, standalone software pieces, is also very handy and can be integrated within your applicative stacks. Also, native packages are now available for most platforms (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS etc). Not to mention that you can access it for free. A great way to strengthen your security in a blink of an eye. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CrowdSec?

Nothing, I love it all. The team is easy to reach and the tool is working extremely well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jean Devaux of CrowdSec

Thanks Mickael!
