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.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Pros

"As a customer, what I really appreciate about CrowdStrike, Inc.

[Private Offer Only] team that helps us."
"CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is the core of the EDR endpoint detection response in the market right now and it still is."
"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."
"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."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should listen more to their community."
"The only negative thing I can think of for CrowdStrike, Inc. [Private Offer Only] is the web managing interface."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
