What do you dislike about CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security?

While CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is a highly effective security solution, a few aspects can be considered as downsides. One potential drawback is the cost associated with implementing and maintaining the platform. Depending on the organisation's size and needs, the pricing structure may be a significant investment. Additionally, some users have reported occasional performance issues, such as delayed updates or slow response times. While these instances are infrequent and haven't significantly impacted security operations, they can be frustrating. Lastly, the platform's dependency on an internet connection for real-time threat intelligence updates can pose challenges for organisations with limited or unreliable connectivity.
