We performed a comparison between Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cloud Native Security offers attack path analysis."
"Our previous product took a lot of man hours to manage. Once we got Singularity Cloud Workload Security, it freed up our time to work on other tasks."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"It is very straightforward. It is not complicated. For the information that it provides, it does a pretty good job."
"The management console is highly intuitive to comprehend and operate."
"Cloud Native Security is a tool that has good monitoring features."
"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."
"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."
"Application Ring-Fencing and Deception Server, which is basically like a honeypot, are pretty useful features."
"Initially, I liked the telemetry part. But later, we used the microsegmentation features that we were able to deploy and found that they really stood out from other vendors. It allows us to see microsegmentation as distributed services."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the maps and ring fencing that help monitor events."
"The tool is a complete package that offers many features like visibility. You can get a graph with real-time workflows and visibility into server-to-server communication. We get visibility into many things happening within our environment."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of processes and connections."
"The solution is very scalable, especially when connected to the cloud resources."
"I found the solution to be stable."
"Its deception features are great, providing a rich telemetry of lured origins, and are a great resource for any active defense strategy."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"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."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"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."
"Maybe container runtime security could be improved."
"I export CSV. I cannot export graphs. Restricting it to the CSV format has its own disadvantages. These are all machine IP addresses and information. I cannot change it to the JSON format. The export functionality can be improved."
"The Kubernetes scanning on the Oracle Cloud needs to be improved. It's on the roadmap. AWS has this capability, but it's unavailable for Oracle Cloud."
"PingSafe can be improved by developing a comprehensive set of features that allow for automated workflows."
"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."
"We are getting reports only in a predefined form. I would like to have customized reports so that I can see how many issues are open or closed today or in two weeks."
"In some cases, the rules are strictly enforced but do not align with real-world use cases."
"They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."
"Kubernetes is not installed in the way we need it."
"Clients would like to see that the security policies of GuardiCore can continue to be comparable to all the major firewall players out there."
"It would be very helpful for beginners if the solution had more windows to help with the terms inside instead of going to the documentation."
"In our version, when using the terminal server, we cannot exclude user tasks for each session."
"Supports become difficult when it's for a big organization. For a small organization, medium organization, it still makes sense, however, for a big organization, it makes life difficult."
"They can maybe improve their customer service just because they are kind of a small organization, and customer service isn't as big as others such as VMware."
"The dashboard needs improvement. It should be more flexible so that I can easily see what I want or need to see."
"It doesn't support a PAAC solution (Platforma as a service) in the cloud."
"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."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
"The threat intelligence and user behavioral analysis could be more comprehensive."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"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 CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is expensive."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
