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 most valuable features of AKS are scalability, deployability, and automation."
"It is easy to deploy."
"Its support team resolves technical issues accurately."
"The serverless capability and auto scale feature are the most valuable."
"It is appealing to us due to its complexity, which aligns well with our requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the autoscaling and self-healing."
"I found the Helm deployment feature of the solution valuable."
"It is easy to maintain the solution."
"The RTR feature stands out as particularly valuable to me due to its capability to log into machines."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most significant benefit is how quickly malware and other malicious attacks are detected."
"Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"CrowdStrike utilizes signatureless technology, eliminating the need for regular signature updates on endpoint systems."
"The product’s cost could be reduced."
"The engineering team can reduce the management of the platform itself by improving the data plane part of the system to upload more management."
"There are a lot of features that should be included with the AKS."
"The product needs to support a UI dashboard. I have to execute every single command to check the status of services which takes time."
"I would like to see Azure implement something like the K9 terminal for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It's a user-friendly CLI interface."
"AKS has the potential to enhance pricing by enabling us to explore ways to increase cost transparency. However, it's important to note that this refers to computation costs rather than client costs. Our objective is to optimize efficiency and minimize unnecessary expenses. Therefore, we aim to identify which services within the platform can benefit from improved consumption patterns. This is the focus of our ongoing research, with the goal of maximizing computational power within the cluster. We aim to avoid situations where resources are reserved but not utilized effectively. Additionally, our strong emphasis on security ensures that we adhere to all relevant compliance standards, bolstering our overall trustworthiness."
"Unfortunately, when a microservice fails, Azure can take up to 60 seconds to broadcast an alert to the monitoring agents."
"The initial setup of AKS is complicated. The setup depends on the cluster, nodes, and lots of other things. There are also lots of extremely critical small devices. Moreover, you will have to pay them even while setting up the solution. It is not like you setup first and then pay for it."
"One area for improvement in Falcon Cloud Security is the support portal."
"The CrowdStrike dashboard currently lacks a username field."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"It would be more convenient if there was an easier way to install CrowdStrike, perhaps through better integration with Active Directory."
"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 only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"The UI part needs to be improved."
