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 product’s most valuable features are ease of use and automation."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the diagnostic service."
"The setup was straightforward and it took one hour to deploy."
"It is easy to maintain the solution."
"The product serves the purpose of helping streamline our company's application deployment and scaling processes."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"AKS could enhance its functionality by introducing a blueprint feature that streamlines and expedites the process. With a blueprint, users can leverage pre-defined configurations, including some common survey elements, reducing the need for extensive customization and allowing us to focus on our core business activities. Additionally, if the blueprint covers security aspects, it would be greatly beneficial, as it eliminates the need for us to build security expertise from scratch. Currently, we encounter challenges during cloud onboarding, security implementation, and adapting to Kubernetes. Although Microsoft may not consider these as their direct responsibility, providing a blueprint similar to what they offer to developers would be highly advantageous."
"It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access."
"It can be tough to access the servers when onboarding."
"The solution should improve its UI and cost."
"It would be nice if they could handle the management of personal information more efficiently."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Configuration management and troubleshooting performance issues are difficult to solve and could be made easier."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"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."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
