Dimensions summary
You deploy the Falcon Sensor at no software charge, so pricing is set to zero across every dimension. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, billed hourly (Hrs). The list spans general-purpose, compute-, memory-, and storage-optimized families, plus GPU, machine learning, and bare-metal options, in sizes from nano and medium up to metal and 48xlarge. You pick the dimension that matches the instance the sensor runs on. Since the sensor is free, your cost tracks only your underlying AWS EC2 usage, not the sensor itself.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension maps to a specific AWS EC2 instance type, such as m5.large or r6g.2xlarge. You select the dimension that matches the instance the Falcon Sensor runs on. Billing is measured in hours (Hrs) for that instance type. The sensor software itself carries no charge across every dimension.
The sensor software price is set to zero across every dimension, so no software charge accrues whether the instance runs or is stopped. Your cost tracks only your underlying AWS EC2 usage. A stopped instance stops EC2 compute charges, though AWS storage fees may still apply separately.
The Falcon platform supports Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. This lets you match the sensor to the workload running on your chosen EC2 instance type. For a full list of supported versions, check the vendor platform FAQ page.
