CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor

What do you like best about the product?

I like how easily it plugs into our AWS environment and gives us real‑time visibility into what’s happening across our cloud workloads. The threat detection is strong — it quickly flags unusual behavior or misconfigurations without a lot of noise. I also appreciate how lightweight it is; it doesn’t slow anything down and requires very little maintenance once it’s set up. The unified dashboard makes it simple to monitor EC2 instances, containers, and IAM risks all in one place, which saves a lot of time during investigations.

What do you dislike about the product?

I’ve noticed that some of the findings can feel a bit noisy at times, especially when it flags low‑risk configuration issues that don’t always need immediate attention. The pricing can also be on the higher side as you scale, which makes it harder for smaller teams to justify. And while the dashboard is powerful, it takes a little time to get used to where everything lives, especially when switching between cloud and workload views.

However, even the security scans does the same, so this is not a major complaint.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps us spot security risks in our AWS environment much earlier, especially things like misconfiguartions, unusual activity or access, or workloads behaving in ways they shouldn’t be. It also gave us a single place to monitor everything, so we dont have to jump between different AWS tools to understand what’s going on. The automated alerts and clear visibility make investigations faster in most environments, and that cuts down the time we spend chasing issues. Overall, it keeps our cloud setup safer and lets us focus more on building instead of constantly worrying about security gaps that users introduce.
