Sukkanta Banerjee - PeerSpot reviewer
A way for users to manage their credentials on the go using a stable, and scalable app
I give the solution an eight out of ten. It's hard to comment on the number of users because the feature is completely for corporate employees who have Blackberry devices, so it's hard to track how many users there are. I advise making your decision to use the solution based on the usage in the company or the demand of the business, which you are running based on the demand.
Tom Kar - PeerSpot reviewer
Shows promise for endpoint detection and response, with room for improvement in complexity and pricing
VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network. When a machine is quarantined, it cannot communicate with any other machines on the network except for the Carbon Black Cloud server. This allows you to investigate the machine without the risk of malware escaping to the network. Carbon Black Cloud's server can communicate with the quarantined machine through DNS and VSCP. This allows you to collect data from the machine, such as system logs, process activity, and registry changes. This data can be used to investigate the infection and determine the next steps. CrowdStrike and Cybereason are also popular EDR solutions. They offer similar features to VMware Carbon Black Cloud but may have different strengths and weaknesses. It is important to evaluate all of your options before choosing an EDR solution. Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The mail is without a doubt the most valuable."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud is the possibility of securing any PC worldwide."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network."
"Setting up and managing the setup for this solution is okay. It is stable, scalable, and it runs just fine. No issues with technical support."
"The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good."
"Probably the most valuable feature of CB Response is its ability to isolate a host and take it off the network, so it's not spreading anything. We have two security operations centers around the globe. When an SOC analyst sees something on an endpoint, they can use Carbon Black Response to isolate that host from the customer's environment and prevent any kind of lateral spread."
"The most valuable features are its lightweight design, ensuring minimal impact on end-users, and its real-time protection."
"Carbon Black Cb Response excels at providing context to indicators when responding to incidents. It allows responders to understand the entire scope of an incident and quickly contain it to minimize impact and disruption."
"Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be improved. It was clunky at times."
"The solution can be improved by adding more features in which the content could be synced."
"We are subscribed to FS-ISAC threat indicator, but have been unsuccessful in adding it to our alliance feeds."
"Additionally, it is complex to use, and the pricing should be improved."
"They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents"
"The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time."
"Setup is incredibly complex and poorly documented. Every time an upgrade was needed we would need to engage Professional Services for troubleshooting help. Certificates and web services proved to be the most significant sticking points. Since the product runs on a Linux platform, perhaps having staff with more Linux experience could have alleviated some difficulty."
"There have been some performance issues when deploying on Windows Server, but I believe Carbon Black is working on that."
"The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions."
"The threat intelligence feed could use some fine tweaking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not able to remember the amount, but users have to subscribe for a certain amount, so once they subscribe, the amount gets sent."
"We had a licensing package of $500,000 for three years."
"We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
"You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
"Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
"Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
