CrowdStrike Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) are a unified and tightly integrated set of security and compliance capabilities, designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications. CNAPPs incorporate an integrated set of proactive and reactive security capabilities, including artifact scanning, security guardrails, configuration and compliance management, risk detection and prioritization, and behavioral analytics, providing visibility, governance and control from code creation to production runtime. CNAPP solutions use a combination of API integrations with leading cloud platform providers, continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) pipeline integrations, and agent and agentless workload integration to offer combined development and runtime security coverage.

CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security

As IT Head for a merchant banking firm, migrating to CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security significantly strengthened our cloud posture. Cloud-native deployment was seamless across our AWS environment and the threat graph dashboard gives us real-time visibility critical for ISO 27001:2022 Compliance. We've seen fewer false positives and faster incident response, especially using the CPSM module to catch misconfigurations before audits. The learning curve for policy customization was steeper than expected, and generating tailored executive reports took a few iterations, but overall, Falcon has reduced manual workload for my team and shifted us from reactive to proactive security. A solid, scalable choice for financial services.

We rolled out Falcon Cloud Security about two years ago to get better visibility across our cloud environment.Leading the deployment, my main concern was resource consumption, especially across our hybrid infrastructure and DR Sites. Thankfully, the agent is lightweight, and we haven't experienced any noticeable CPU spikes or performance drag on any workstation during execution. The dashboard takes some time to get friendly, but after using it we got used to it and you have to spend a solid chunk of the first few months tuning alert policies to filter out the noise.
