Falcon Spotlight Likes & Dislikes

Like

What we value most about Falcon Spotlight is its ability to provide continuous visibility into all vulnerabilities on our endpoints. This allows us to quickly identify critical risks and prioritize mitigation actions before they can be exploited. Another positive aspect is the ease of integration with other CrowdStrike solutions. Correlating data with Falcon Prevent and Falcon Insight gives us a more complete picture of the organization's security and improves efficiency in incident management. Finally, we highlight the intuitive interface and the configurable dashboards. This allows our team to interpret scan results and make quick decisions, optimizing patch planning and reducing exposure time to known threats.

Like

Bulk closure and able to search without the code is good for feasibility

Like

What I like most about Falcon Spotlight is its ability to continuously and automatically identify critical vulnerabilities, even in systems that are not normally closely monitored. This provides an additonal layer of assurance, as we're not limited to occasional assessments or manua revies to detect potential risks. I also value its intelligent risk-based prioritization, which allows us to focus first on the vulnerabilities that represent the greatest threat, making it easier to allocate resources efficently and strengthen our overall security posture.

Dislike

What we like least about Falcon Spotlight is that the cost of the solution can be high for medium-sized organizations or those with tight budgets. This is accentuated if you want to expand coverage or integrate additional modules for deeper analysis. Another aspect is that dependence on the cloud can generate certain limitations. In situations of limited connectivity or service interruptions, some visibility and scanning functions may be temporarily affected. Finally, some advanced customization capabilities require specialized technical knowledge or additional support from the provider. This can leave the internal team reliant on external assistance to configure specific rules or integrations, which reduces some autonomy.

Dislike

Unable to edit comments, unable to assign incidents and there are repetitive alerts because they don't have the ability to categorize.

Dislike

What I dislike about Falcon Spotlight is that the initial volume of detected vulnerabilities can feel overwhelming, especially in large environments with numerous endpoints and servers. At the beginning, the platfor generated a flood of notifications, many of them with minimal impact, which added unnecessary noise and required extra effort to filter and prioritize properly. Another challenge is that the categorization of some vulnerabilities may be too technical for personnel who are not specialized in security, so non-security teams may find it difficult to interpret certain findings without additional guidance. However, these are minor inconveniences compared to the value that visibility and continuous risk control brings.

    Valuable layer of continuous vulnerability assessment within our security stack.Agent based and fully integrated into the Crowdstrike Falcon platform for near real time visibility into vulnerabilities across our endpoints without needing separate infrastructure. Its continuous scanning and risk-based prioritization have significantly improved our vulnerability management process. While there is room for improvement in report customization and third-party integration, the product is a solid choice for many organizations.
