Consistent releases have improved collaboration while configuration procedures still need simplification
What stands out for me in Chef SaaS is that the procedure is straightforward and the release goes smoothly because we can create different versions according to our own requirements. Chef SaaS helps with collaboration between our development and operations team. A benefit I can see is that configuring is easier because developers commit new code and new versions, and using Chef SaaS, we can create different cookbooks. Cookbooks contain different recipes, and different cookbooks represent different versions. Using these versions, we can consolidate and create a new package that will help us with the release. Since this is a product-based company and our product is wind turbines, every time we have a product release or patch release, Chef SaaS helps us tremendously. We release different patch cycles such as LTS patch cycles, Windows patches, or any kind of patch feature and built features. To maintain the cycle, the process is quite smooth.

Endpoint defense has delivered strong incident response and supports deep behavior analytics
They should listen more to their community. They need to do a lot more bundling of things as part of it instead of treating everything as an upgrade or an enhancement. The problem that is hurting them is that there is a cost all the time for upgrading. They are late in the game. When you look at Exabeam, they have always been focused on behavior analytics. This new journey into that era has enhanced it because it provides detection and baselining of behavior when someone is using that endpoint. It is an added feature that has benefited the enterprise in terms of defensive depth. It is definitely a good feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Chef SaaS is stable and we have never faced any issues with it, as it is quite reliable and, since it is mature and established, it is capable enough to manage large infrastructures."
"Chef SaaS has positively impacted my organization by saving more time; we do not need to control Chef control node and we can apply the required changes for VMs quickly, which is a big advantage for our organization."
"As a customer, what I really appreciate about CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is that it works effectively, blocking all ransomware and all software that users are trying to install that is not approved, working very well as an antivirus, and we also have the SOC of CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] team that helps us."
"As a customer, what I appreciate most about the product is that it has already proven its worth because it was able to safeguard us against a clear cyberattack."
"CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is the core of the EDR endpoint detection response in the market right now and it still is."
"The risk rating gives a better view than Idera Discovery, with more information regarding the account, a severity-based risk rating, and breach types, which really helps us in formulating the IAM strategy."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is that if you compare Chef SaaS to Ansible, Ansible is much faster and the process is easier and faster, but Chef SaaS is more complicated."
"They should listen more to their community."
"I see drawbacks in CrowdStrike in the application field, where it detects if applications get used or not."
"At this moment, I do see that CrowdStrike could improve on how they handle the AI-related threats on cybersecurity, as we are not very familiar with that and don't have enough information on how CrowdStrike is going to deal with that part."
"The only negative thing I can think of for CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is the web managing interface."
