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."It is appealing to us due to its complexity, which aligns well with our requirements."
"The solution is a managed Kubernetes, so much of the maintenance in the control plane is handled automatically by the cloud service provider."
"Has a good management feature monitored by the cloud service provider."
"The most valuable feature is the autoscaling and self-healing."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"Azure Kubernetes Service is pretty robust in terms of scalability and auto-scaling fixes."
"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."
"Integration and automation are the best features of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The immediate mitigation of potential threats and instant alerts are valuable."
"It is fully cloud-based, so we don't need to invest in third-party agents repeatedly."
"The initial setup is easy ."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is its lightweight sensor, taking minimal space and not impacting server performance."
"There are some limitations with the tutor version, particularly in terms of using a lot of free audio. The private level also has restrictions, limiting the number of audio files you can access to just 50. If you want more, you need to contact support."
"Sometimes, it fails to provide specific metrics."
"I would like to see a graphical user interface."
"In terms of cost perspective, they could make the product more affordable."
"It just loses out because you have less access to it programmatically, with less technical or customizable access."
"The initial setup is complex."
"This is a fairly expensive solution, which can make it prohibitive for smaller organizations."
"I would like to see Azure implement something like the K9 terminal for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It's a user-friendly CLI interface."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"Different file options should be available, and clients should be able to select from the options."
"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."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
