We performed a comparison between CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Entra ID Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is that we don't need to re-image machines as much as we had to."
"I have found the connection to search the hosts for detections very useful in CrowdStrike Falcon."
"At this point what is most valuable is the interface, which is easy to navigate."
"The solution offers great stability."
"Scalability is good. We have had no issues with it."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy. That's very important for me. False-positive are very bad for everyone. As we are a financial institution, it's even worse. I like Falcon because it's very accurate."
"I like Falcon's threat detection and endpoint investigation features. It's a user-friendly solution."
"The stability is very good."
"I use conditional access most of the time."
"The solution helps us with authentication."
"The primary and most valuable aspect of Azure AD identity is its ability to function seamlessly on both on-premise and cloud infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive updates. However, this dual solution can pose vulnerabilities that require substantial support and security measures in the on-premise environment. Despite the challenges, it is currently not feasible to completely abandon AD, especially for companies in the sales and energy sectors. The integration with Microsoft Defender is crucial for enhancing security, making identity and security the primary focus and purpose of Azure AD."
"The reverse proxy feature provides additional security that is not available in other solutions."
"The tool is simple and you can find a lot of tutorials, and videos on YouTube that can help you."
"Support, particularly related to after-sales and after deployment, could be improved a bit. If you need to connect to support, it takes at least a day to reach the support team and get a proper reply."
"It would be nice if they did have some sort of Active Directory tie-in, whether that be Azure or on-prem. Sometimes, it is difficult for us to determine if we are missing any endpoints or servers in CrowdStrike. We honestly don't have a great inventory, but it would be nice if CrowdStrike had a way to say this is everything in your environment, Active Directory-wise, and this is what doesn't have sensors. They try to do that now with a function that they have built-in, but I have been unsuccessful in having it help us identify what needs a sensor. So, better visibility of what doesn't have a sensor in our environment would be helpful."
"As the company has grown, the technical support has felt less personal."
"Basically, they don't cover legacy OS or applications. That's the only issue we're concerned about"
"If we have a dashboard capability to uninstall agents, I think that would be great."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"The malware analysis could be improved, as that's what we use the solution for the most and that change would make it a better EDR tool."
"The management reporting functionality needs to be improved."
"The solution is not optimized to work with Mac devices on a granular level. They work seamlessly with Windows but have a lot to improve to work with Mac devices. It also needs to improve stability and scalability."
"Identity labeling and sensitivity needs improvement."
"Azure AD could improve by enhancing the availability of specialized courses for security, such as NETSCOUT security or other relevant certifications. It would be beneficial to have specific courses for security, to provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to Azure AD. While there are micro-learning resources available for various concepts, many people in the IT industry may not have the time to go through all the courses to properly configure and utilize Azure Active Directory. Simplifying the implementation process and making it easier for individuals to join a company with Azure AD could also be considered areas for improvement."
"Integrating some notifications, not necessarily all, but at least for important events or alerts, would be beneficial as it would function as a team solution or something similar."
"The solution's sync should be faster since it can take about 30 minutes to two hours to complete a simple sync. The tool needs to sync instantly. It also needs to improve scalability, support, and stability."
