Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

CrowdStrike Falcon

Falcon Go device limit: capped at 100 devices maximum, forcing mid-market/enterprise customers to upgrade despite lower cost
EDR locked behind Enterprise tier: endpoint detection and response available only at $19.99/device/month tier; not available in Pro
Managed service pricing opaque: Falcon Complete Next-Gen MDR requires contacting sales; no pricing range for 24/7 MDR services published
Annual discount modest: 17-24% savings on annual vs. monthly create minimal incentive to prepay

Moonrepo

Smaller community compared to established build systems like Bazel
Limited integrations with enterprise CI/CD platforms
Documentation gaps in some advanced use cases
No commercial support option for organizations requiring guaranteed SLAs
