We performed a comparison between Avast Business Hub and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"It warns you if there is a threat and it's perfect because it runs in the background and doesn't interfere with anything."
"Our favorite feature is the PC Patch Management."
"The solution can scale well."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The ease of deployment and the command center that they have are the most valuable. It is basically self-monitoring. It doesn't require that much tinkering after you deploy or install."
"It has increased productivity. IT threats are kept at a minimum because of this product."
"The performance is good compared to other products that slow down the laptop, post-installation."
"Avast Business Endpoint Protection's best feature is its user-friendliness."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"I like its reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"Where I have faced a challenge is on the reporting. I would like to see something that provides information regarding the next month or quarter, in terms of reporting."
"The solution needs to be more secure and work to protect us better from people trying to mess with our systems."
"It could have a 10,000-feet overview of the whole infrastructure because the software is easily installable on the whole infrastructure and not just the infrastructure, but also the workstation themselves. I would love to have a 360 view of the whole network and basically see from where a test is coming, and if there is an instance in the cloud that is actually misbehaving or if there is a workstation that is infected and stuff like that. It can also have some kind of AI to detect all those things and then cut off the connection from that machine. In Cortex, you can link the logs, reports, and all that stuff. You can also see the full picture of when it happened, and you can trace it back all the way to a file or something else. I would like to see similar functionality in Avast Business Endpoint Protection."
"I would like to see better protection and more spyware included with the free version."
"The accuracy of the scanner could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing more security."
"It reduces network and bandwidth speed."
"Making the price a bit cheaper would be an improvement."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming."
"The support is poor."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
