We performed a comparison between Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of AKS are the full array of capabilities and robust security."
"AKS is easy to use. We can scale up and down as needed with AKS, which saves us money on our cloud costs."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"The advantage of AKS is somewhat greater than that of Kubernetes, such as those provided by Google Cloud or AWS. However, the unique benefit offered by Microsoft is its robust CI/CD capabilities, along with the Azure feature for building workflows. When you combine the entire ecosystem, AKS becomes an excellent choice, particularly for enterprise applications."
"Its support team resolves technical issues accurately."
"The solution is a managed Kubernetes, so much of the maintenance in the control plane is handled automatically by the cloud service provider."
"Integration and automation are the best features of the solution."
"The most valuable features of AKS are rollback updates, high availability, easy management, speedy execution and deployment."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"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."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The product’s cost could be reduced."
"There are a lot of features that should be included with the AKS."
"One area that could be improved is the Azure CLI. It would be beneficial if they could abstract some of the complexities related to deployment scripts and make them a part of Azure CLI."
"I would like to see a graphical user interface."
"AKS has the potential to enhance pricing by enabling us to explore ways to increase cost transparency. However, it's important to note that this refers to computation costs rather than client costs. Our objective is to optimize efficiency and minimize unnecessary expenses. Therefore, we aim to identify which services within the platform can benefit from improved consumption patterns. This is the focus of our ongoing research, with the goal of maximizing computational power within the cluster. We aim to avoid situations where resources are reserved but not utilized effectively. Additionally, our strong emphasis on security ensures that we adhere to all relevant compliance standards, bolstering our overall trustworthiness."
"The solution's logs have room for improvement."
"It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access."
"It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"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."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"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."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
