“CrowdStrike Falcon Mobile Threat Defense delivers robust, real-time protection for enterprise mobile devices with seamless integration and simple management-with room for growth in reporting flexibility.”

4.0
Oct 24, 2025
CrowdStrike Falcon Mobile Threat Defense has been a solid addition to our overall endpoint security, offering strong mobile coverage without adding complexity. The deployment process was fast and agent performance onIos and Andriod devices was lightweight, with excellent battery optimization and minimal user disruption. What worked particularly wwell is its real-time mobile threat detection-identifying malicious apps, phishing links, and network-level attacks almost instantly. Integration with Microsoft Intune makes device policy enforcement seamless, improving mobile compliance posture across the organization. The Falcon console offers unified visibility across mobile and traditional endpoints, which simplifies security management and incident triage. However, areas for improvement include report customization, alert tuning for less severe risks, and occasional delays in synchronization with third-party MDMs. Overall, it's effective for managing mobile threats in enterprise-scale deployments, balancing usability with advanced AI-driven protection.

Reviewer Insights for: CrowdStrike Falcon
Performance of CrowdStrike Falcon Across Market Features

CrowdStrike Falcon Likes & Dislikes

Like

Real-time mobile threat detection: Instantly identifies and blocks malicious apps, phising links, and network-based attacks on iOS and Andriod devices. Zero-touch, seamless enrollment: Fast deployment and integration with existing MDM/UEM platforms allow wide-scale protection with minimal user effort. Privacy-focused unified platform: centralized management and compliance across mobile and transactional endpoints, while respecting user privacy-only monitoring of corporate apps and no scanning of persoanl data.

Like

Lightweight, easy to implement, easy to configure

Like

Lightweight Agent: The single cloud-managed agent is essentially outside of the endpoint's performance context. Robust Detection & Threat Intelligence: Falcon's behaviour-based analysis and extremely precise threat intelligence are excellent at identifying attacks early on. Easy Deployment & Management: Quick implementation, a clean user interface, and a centralized cloud dashboard are the elements that make administration both simple and effective.

Dislike

Reporting and alert customization: The reporting and alert settings could be more flexible; some less critical notifications can create unnecessary noise and are not easily filtered. Sync challenges: Synchronization with ome third-party MDM or UEM solutions can occasionally lag, requiring manual troubleshooting or vendor intervention for full compatibility. Relatively high cost for advanced features: The platform comes t a premium license tier, and adding certain advanced capabilities may require extra expense, which can be prohibitive for smaller teams. Support has been generally responsive, though resolution times vary depending on issue complexity.

Dislike

Lack of remediations, to few configuration options, forces VPN usage

Dislike

Expenses can become quite substantial, especially when one is scaling licenses or is a small team. There is a learning curve involved in understanding the custom detections as well as the deeper features. Users are alerted more than usual, and thus, they have to go through an adjustment period which lasts for a few weeks.

What Your Peers Are Saying About CrowdStrike Falcon

CISO
We are already using multiple modules of Crowdstrike Falcon. Have you used CS Falcon for IT in production and, if yes, what are your experiences?
Associate Director, Information Security Management
Yes, we are and have been for some time. On servers it’s a lightweight deployment: Fast and easy In almost all cases, no reboot required Low resource consumption on the local OS Low Network usage We also find it’s quite effective at the behavioural side of blocking attackers when they get hands-on-keyboards (vs. scripted/automated) attacks. It’s an effective heterogeneous solution applying and performing quite well across Linux, Windows and macOS. Not all EDR/XDR tools are effective heterogeneous solutions.

Director of IT
We are at the edge of closing a contract with Crowdstrike Falcon Complete, a MDR-solution including managed service for monitoring the security of our infrastructure 24/7. The functionality looked promising during a short pilot we organized. We are now in the contracting phase and discovered that we need to pay upfront for a three years contract. For a managed service I find this rather strange, while I am used to pay on a monthly, quarterly or sometimes yearly basis. Does someone in the peer group has the same experience with Crowdstrike?
Director of Enablement
I was always under the perception that Crowdstrike operated on a net-60 opex model. Are they asking for the TCV in a lump sum?

    A Truly Effective, Lightweight, and Powerful Endpoint Protection that Ultimately Delivers Real Security Value

    5.0
    Nov 30, 2025
    Overall, CrowdStrike Falcon has been a great experience for us. The platform offers robust endpoint protection with real-time visibility and is lightweight and simple to implement. The dashboards make it easy for administrators to keep an eye on activity and take prompt action, and the accuracy of threat detection is high. We've improved our incident response posture and drastically decreased the amount of time spent on manual investigations since switching to Falcon. The value has justified it for us, but the only difficulties have been sporadic false positives during early tuning and somewhat premium pricing.

    Robust Mobile Threat Defense with Excellent Falcon Integration

    4.0
    Sep 21, 2025
    We've had a really great experience with CrowdStrike Mobile Threat Defense overall. The mobile gadgets that are often the weakest link in the enterprise security chain, can now be secured with an extra layer of defense provided by the product. It basically functions as an extension of the Falcon platform and is proactive against the likes of phishing, malicious apps, unsafe Wi-Fi, and vulnerable operating systems. The range of supported devices is good, and the development was straightforward. Our mobile security situation has been largely upgraded, except for a few user adoption issues and some false positives that have occurred at random.
