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."Cloud Native Security helps us discover vulnerabilities in a cloud environment like open ports that allow people to attack our environment. If someone unintentionally opens a port, we are exposed. Cloud Native Security alerts us so we can remediate the problem. We can also automate it so that Cloud Native Security will fix it."
"We've seen a reduction in resources devoted to vulnerability monitoring. Before PingSafe we spent a lot of time monitoring and fixing these issues. PingSafe enabled us to divert more resources to the production environment."
"Atlas security graph is pretty cool. It maps out relationships between components on AWS, like load balancers and servers. This helps visualize potential attack paths and even suggests attack paths a malicious actor might take."
"My favorite feature is Storyline."
"It's helped free up staff time so that they can work on other projects."
"It is scalable, stable, and can detect any threat on a machine. It uses artificial intelligence and can lock down any virus."
"It used to guide me about an alert. There is something called an alert guide. I used to click on the alert guide, and I could read everything. I could read about the alert and how to resolve it. I used to love that feature."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"The product’s most valuable features are ease of use and automation."
"It is a stable solution."
"Azure Kubernetes Service is pretty robust in terms of scalability and auto-scaling fixes."
"Compliance is easy right out-of-the-box with integration to Azure Security, Azure Active Directory, and Azure Policies."
"The most valuable features of AKS are rollback updates, high availability, easy management, speedy execution and deployment."
"AKS as a service is very good when you need to leverage applications or functions with much variability in their usage because you're trying to be as efficient as you can with resources."
"We like how easy it is to create the resources in this solution, thanks to how easy the UI is to use."
"It employs high availability."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"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 Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"Some of the navigation and some aspects of the portal may be a little bit confusing."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"The recommended actions aren't always specific, so it might suggest recommendations that don't apply to the particular infrastructure code I'm reviewing."
"We use PingSafe and also SentinelOne. If PingSafe integrated some of the endpoint security features of SentinelOne, it would be the perfect one-stop solution for everything. We wouldn't need to switch between the products. At my organization, I am responsible for endpoint security and vulnerability management. Integrating both functions into one application would be ideal because I could see all the alerts, heat maps, and reports in one console."
"Cloud Native Security's reporting could be better. We are unable to see which images are impacted. Several thousand images have been deployed, so if we can see some application-specific information in the dashboard, we can directly send that report to the team that owns the application. We'd also like the option to download the report from the portal instead of waiting for the report to be sent to our email."
"I would like additional integrations."
"One of the issues with the product stems from the fact that it clubs different resources under one ticket."
"We've found a lot of false positives."
"The solution's cost could be cheaper."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"The engineering team can reduce the management of the platform itself by improving the data plane part of the system to upload more management."
"It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently."
"I would like to see the stability get more synchronized."
"Unfortunately, when a microservice fails, Azure can take up to 60 seconds to broadcast an alert to the monitoring agents."
"There is room for improvement in automation processes, as well."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"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."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"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."
