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

Falcon Surface Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like how quickly Falcon Surface detects and responds to threats. The cloud-based architecture keeps performance smooth and doesnt slow down devices. I also appreciate the detailed security insights and real-time alerts which help identify issues early.

Like

What I like the most is the modules ability to automatically discover unknown assets and assess their associated risk clearly.

Like

I like the real-time visibility. Having unified inventory of exposures across environments makes it easier to understand and manage our external risk.

Dislike

One downside is that some of the advanced dashboards can feel complex for new users and require a bit of training. The alerts can sometimes be too frequent, which makes it hard to prioritize quickly. Also, a few features take time to load during peak usage, so performance could be more consistent.

Dislike

That the dashboard performance can occasionally be slow and some visualizations are not as intuitive as they could be.

Dislike

Learning Curve: It can be overwhelming at 1st because of the number of features and data points. It takes time to fully understand how to interpret the data findings. Reporting: It could be more flexible. While the insights are valuable, I'd like to see more customizable dashboards and simplified reports. Integration: Yes, Falcon integrates with some tools, but I would like to expand the integrations with more ticketing and other security platforms to streamline the remediation flows.

    Crowdstrike Integration Provides Smooth Operation With Minor Notification Annoyances Noted

    4.0
    Aug 18, 2025
    We use a 3rd party security vendor that has implemented Crowdstrike for our company. It was a very seamless process and installed on all devices without any issues or noticeable performance changes. Some of the process tree notifications that appear to be legitimate that Crowdstrike marks as suspicious, mainly Win32.exe, can be quite annoying to see over and over, but it's better to err on the side of caution. Almost no processes blocked that blocked users from working.

    Centralized Dashboard Simplifies Internal and External Asset Risk Assessment Processes

    5.0
    Sep 4, 2025
    Crowdstrike's Falcon Surface helps us in providing full visibility across our external facing endpoints, IPs and systems and thereby reducing our cyber risk. We have been using Crowdstrike's EDR platform for a few years and were looking for a solution to assess our external surface risk. Having a single dashboard to assess the internal assets and external surface has been very helpful.
