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."I have enjoyed working with all the features."
"The serverless capability and auto scale feature are the most valuable."
"AKS is easy to use. We can scale up and down as needed with AKS, which saves us money on our cloud costs."
"The tool is budget-friendly."
"It is easy to deploy."
"We find the container orchestration tool that this solution provides to be very valuable."
"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."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"The most valuable feature of Falcon Cloud Security is its comprehensive threat-hunting ability."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is not up to optimal standards when it comes to capturing logs and visualization."
"The engineering team can reduce the management of the platform itself by improving the data plane part of the system to upload more management."
"The product needs to support a UI dashboard. I have to execute every single command to check the status of services which takes time."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The application firewall is lacking some features and there is room for enhancement."
"The solution's cost could be cheaper."
"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."
"The only challenge lies in token verification."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"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 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."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
