User Sentiment About Falcon Surface
Reviewer Insights for: Falcon Surface
Performance of Falcon Surface Across Market Features

Falcon Surface Likes & Dislikes

Like

The automation of finding unknown and unmanaged external assets is extraordinary, we discovered many exposed services, forgotten subdomains and third party connections that had never made it into our asset inventory. Real-time monitoring tirelessly operates 24/7 and continuously alarms about breaches or misconfigurations as they hit the internet. AI correlation with Falcon threat intelligence quickly signals regarding true risk versus expected noise, thus drastically decreasing false positives.

Like

integrated into crowdstrike platform and not a separate area like shield

Like

The standout strengths according to my team for this product are: 1) Product has very good visibility of external assets and exposure. 2) Risk-based prioritization is useful for quick action. 3) Helps identify unknown and unmanaged devices efficiently.

Dislike

The dashboard complexity is daunting for new users in that it takes them much longer to become productive without intense training. In the early stages of integration, staff is bombarded with more false positives than real ones, rapidly decreasing the number is rather time consuming due to the required manual input.

Dislike

severity labels are not always consistent, sometimes a high designation has a critial vuln within it and its unclear what the true severity should be, and integration could be better for tracking/mapping with exposure management

Dislike

A few issues where we need to fix are: 1) Some findings may need manual validation 2) Limited customization is reporting. 3) Initial setup and tuning can take time.
