Has improved vulnerability detection efficiency but still requires better help desk integration
The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management. We don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because we have a university environment with multiple campuses in the region. In this scenario, the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system. It's quite seamless, and within the EDR dashboard, we can see the vulnerability of a device. In case of an attack or suspicious activity, we can map the vulnerabilities against that particular malicious activity. Although we don't need to deal directly with the machine learning part, it works quite efficiently, and the learning algorithms are also quite efficient in that perspective. Regarding automated asset discovery tools in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, it was previously very hard to identify which PCs and servers had EDR. Now with exposure management, it's very easy to identify which servers are not having EDR in our environment. We can identify unmanaged assets and managed assets very easily, and it helps us reduce risk within the environment. We found many critical servers that didn't have EDR before enabling exposure management. The central dashboard is helpful for our team to respond to threats faster. It is quite automated, and direct team involvement is very low. Many cases are automatically dealt with within CrowdStrike. The workflows are quite seamless and easy to define. In case of any vulnerability or malicious activity, it automatically contains a device and isolates a particular system from the environment. This way, the support team is not crowded with different tickets and false positives.

Has significantly improved risk visibility and optimized remediation efforts across dynamic environments
We tightly integrate with APIs, consuming feeds and open source data. We have integrated with XM Cyber, and we are elevating ourselves with AI and MCP tools as we view this as a forerunner to reducing the workload for our agents and IT staff. We're pushing all our security partners to provide AI and MCP tools. Our vision is for them to offer a chat interface where a junior IT or an experienced infrastructure engineer can ask for what needs to be patched next without using an interface. Their current interface is very usable and professional, ranking in the top tier of applications. Their reporting is good, offering custom reports, and their API integration is a new capability that serves us well. We have high expectations for the next generation, such as a chat interface to ask questions. However, everything has been very good. We push the boundaries with digital twins; I understand XM Cyber uses a similar concept of graph databases to map environments. I would like access to that and querying languages, enabling more informed business decisions. XM Cyber sees much of our estate, which is beneficial for making informed decisions, and we can harness those insights and data for business analytics. For instance, it could help us gain insights into change management—if a particular server impacts another and that server is supported by yet another server, we could glean significant insights for change management meetings.

Pros

"The positive aspect is that within CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management, there is seamless integrity within vulnerability management, and we don't need to deploy sensors within the campus because the EDR, which is already deployed as a sensor, helps us scan vulnerabilities without installing any other agents in the system."
"The solution works smoothly with no scalability issues."
"The final dashboard is impressive from my perspective, and I think many other companies only show vulnerabilities on the endpoint, but CrowdStrike provides a better overview of the whole environment."
"The most beneficial feature in CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management is the security blocking, such as USB access and other .exe file auto runtime detection that sends alerts to us."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management offers robust capabilities in EDR and cloud security terms."
"What I personally like very much, from my experience, is that it is very reliable."
"The platform's most valuable feature is attack simulation."
"XM Cyber made it clear that browser vulnerabilities were the top priority because the platform was able to examine how vulnerabilities within our estate could be exploited and what the path would be from some bad actor in order to exploit those vulnerabilities."
"Since implementing XM Cyber, we have improved the way we are doing patching, focusing on the choke points in our patching cycle, and it improves the way we assess the risk."
"Six weeks into using XM Cyber, we saw a compelling return on investment—primarily in risk reduction, with a specific issue our other security tooling did not pick up but XM Cyber did, reducing IT remediation time and saving over 60,000 US dollars per year while significantly lowering our loss exposure amount."
 

Cons

"They could enhance CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management with features such as identity protection and next-gen SIEM in the future."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management does not provide baselining based on CIS, NIST, ISO."
"We experienced one outage from CrowdStrike Falcon Exposure Management due to patch updating, which occurred three to four months ago. It was a global outage of services that caused Windows systems to crash after the package update."
"The solution should have more robust integration with different tools and technologies in the network to enhance its overall capability."
"We are not satisfied with their delayed responses to issues. They do not reply on time, and there are always some technical issues."
"There are many interesting things about XM Cyber, but the part that can be improved is the mobile exposure and the IBM i specific equipment."
"XM Cyber could identify all areas of vulnerability. They could expand the identification span for different areas."
"We'd like to see a cheaper price."
"We have high expectations for the next generation, such as a chat interface to ask questions."
"We have not saved any time or effort, but we can prove that the effort involved around vulnerability management has been better spent to greater effect, and we've been able to demonstrate that vulnerabilities that do represent a high risk have been remediated more rapidly and more effectively."
