Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

One feature of Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security that I like the most is its comprehensive and AI-driven identity protection approach. In addition to securing user accounts, the system also protects service accounts and AI agents, which is an obvious trend in the development of hybrid environments. The product works wonderfully to stop hackers from gaining access to the identity of the target individual. Additionally, its effortless compatibility and one-console management ease up on the working process, which means that it is both a strong tool and a friendly user interface.

Like

I like how it alerts us to anomalous activity from users, allowing us to investigate and truly determine if the activity is harmless or truly benign.

Like

Unified, Real-Time Identity Threat Detection: The platform delivers continuous monitoring and automated response, stopping both credential theft and privilege escalation across hybrid, on-prem, and cloud environments. AI-Powered Behavior Analytics: This solution employs machine learning for contextual risk scoring and anomaly detection, providing precise, actionable alerts that reduce traditional false positives and alert fatigue. Phishing-Resistant, Passwordless MFA and Privileged Access: FalconID introduces phishing-resistant MFA that even secures legacy protocols and non-human (machine or AI) identities, while new PAM controls manage and limit standing privileges across the workforce.

Dislike

Falcon Next-Gen is a powerful but laborious one to initially set up, especially in places with old or broken identity infrastructure. The depth of features - for example, on-demand access and AI-driven threat detection - may require training or at least some knowledge to use them fully. Also, a few organizations have remarked that by 'advanced features' the team means just that - a higher price is the trade-off, which may affect smaller teams or deployments with tight budgets.

Dislike

We have been experiencing infrastructure issues and have been unable to determine the cause, but believe Identity to be a considerable factor

Dislike

Initial deployment and policy configuration can be complex, particularly in large or hybrid environments, and require a solid familiarity with identity security concepts. The platform's AI sometimes produces false positives, generating unnecessary alerts that need manual review and can slow down response time if not handled well. Licensing and cost are on the higher side-advanced featues reuire additional licensing, which may not suit every organization's budget or use case.

    CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security delivers unified, AI-driven identity protection, streamlining hybrid access management and real-time threat detection-with some complexity for setup and a premium price tag.

    4.0
    Oct 13, 2025
    CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Secuirty has delivered strong results, especially in real-time detection and automated response against identity-based threats. The unified platform makes it simple to roll out identity risk monitoring and block credential misuse across cloud and on-premises accounts, with minimal impact on user productivity. The standout advantages come from effective threat detection (especially credential-based attacks), ease of deployment, and integration with other Falcon modules. "Solution's insight into identity risks has improved our ability to preempt attacks and minimize lateral movement. On the downside, setup and tuning policies were somewhat complex initially, requiring time to align with business needs- especially in hybrid or federated identity environments. Product updates have been smooth overall, but on rare occasions, new releases have inroduced minor disruptions that needed rapid troubleshooting. Despite these early learning curves, operational confidence and visibility into identity risks are noticeably stronger with this solution in place.

    A great way to protect your identity while also expanding the Falcon ecosystem.

    Oct 15, 2025
    Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security has been nothing but positive for us. The tool is great in helping companies with the lack of visibility in cloud and hybrid environments and it is a strong weapon against identity-based attacks. The integration of this product with our existing Falcon platform and Active Directory was a straightforward process and, therefore, we are now able to anticipate the detection of lateral movement attempts thanks to behavioural analytics. After optimisation, everything works well and the system is almost self-sufficient. We had to face a minor issue, that is, adjusting the alerts to decrease the noise during the startup phase.

    Effective Falcon Integration Enhances SOC Workflow Despite Initial Alert Noise Issues

    4.0
    Jan 19, 2026
    Excellent visibility into identity-based threats, strong integration with the Falcon platform and SOC workflows, helpful analytics for abnormal authentication and lateral movement, and good support for faster investigation and response. Initial tuning and policy optimization can take time, some alerts may require refinement to reduce noise, and reporting/dashboards customization could be improved.

    Strong Identity-Based Threat Detection with Room for Tuning

    5.0
    Oct 1, 2025
    Overall, Falcon next-gen identity security delivers strong visibility into authentication activities and privilege escalation attempts across the environment. The Real-time detection of lateral movement and credential misuse is noticeably better than traditional EDR-only approaches. However, the policy tuning requires some time to reduce noise in hybrid environments, especially when dealinh with legacy systems. Once properly fine-tuned, it becomes a reliable layer in identity-based threat prevention.
