• Detects and automatically blocks dangerous behavior on endpoints that could be indicative of malicious activity, like executing programs from the deleted items folder, executing a SSH command in silent mode from different places in the OS, etc.
• Monitors endpoints continuously for known malware, evaluates dangerous behaviors and blocks execution based on risk tolerance settings, uses AI to draw correlations on multiple attack vectors, and has a human malware hunting element to detect known or newly detected attack vectors.
• Is easy to deploy across a large organization and manage centrally by as few as 1 person part time.
• This was the fastest and easiest implementation of an enterprise grade security system I have ever done. I pushed software to the endpoints on a Friday afternoon, and was complete by Noon on Monday, as each workstation came online, the installer completed, and we were protected.

• Does not support multiple endpoints well (e.g. apps and services that do not reside at the same URL).
• Has authentication problems with modern enterprise apps which involve a lot of redirects to unrelated endpoints, federated IDs, SSO, etc. This is related to the first point.
• The vulnerability detection capability is not as robust as Burp Suite Pro + extensions, Metasploit + auxiliary modules, Nmap + scripts, etc.

• Falcon isn't continuously scanning the machine, if something is downloaded and viewed as safe it won't be re-checked later.
• More dashboards and information on vulnerabilities on the machines would be helpful.
• More reports that could be given to executives would also be beneficial. There are some now, but the options are rather limited.

• Saved money compared to other commercial scanners, especially over the long run.
• Scan speed seems to be pretty good compared to some of the bulkier commercial products out there. However, that largely has to do with proper configuration.
• A downside is that is requires a bit of extra work just to get it set up to scan APIs, web services, etc.

• A significant increase in responsiveness to data security incidents.
• The frequency and extent of data security issues have been drastically reduced.
