Cost considerations
Falcon Spotlight is an add-on to the core Falcon agent, so buyers first pay roughly $59–$99 per endpoint each year for endpoint security and then another ~$30-$35 per endpoint for Spotlight licensing. CrowdStrike markets vulnerability management, EDR, cloud, and other functions as separate modules, so costs accumulate as protection needs grow. The combined per-asset fees put total spend toward the high end of the market, making value harder to justify against bundled competitors.

Functionality
CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight delivers live vulnerability visibility through the existing endpoint agent, ranks risks with exploit intelligence, and pushes findings into ServiceNow for automated tickets and patch-confirmation. Coverage spans workstations, servers, and cloud and container workloads, yet lacks credentialed network scans for legacy devices. The feature set is strong but not as all-inclusive as the very top tier.

Compatibility
The lightweight Falcon sensor runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and cloud workloads, giving Spotlight data via a single agent. Image-registry hooks extend coverage to container environments for vulnerability assessment. Out-of-the-box integrations send findings to ServiceNow CMDB and leading SIEMs, and the platform offers SAML SSO for easy identity federation

User experience
Security teams get an intuitive browser-based dashboard that highlights vulnerabilities by severity in real time, and users report it is easy to navigate with little training. Analysts can move from fleet-wide views to a single host in a few clicks and see up-to-date data without waiting for periodic scans. The UI does not provide fully guided remediation wizards, so its overall usability sits just below the very top tier.
