We performed a comparison between Carbon Black CB Defense and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two EPP (Endpoint Protection for Business) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Definitely, the best feature for Cisco Secure Endpoint is the integration with Talos. On the backend, Talos checks all the signatures, all the malware, and for any attacks going on around the world... Because Secure Endpoint has a connection to it, we get protected by it right then and there."
"The integration with other Cisco products seemed to be really effective. We had Umbrella in place and we were using AnyConnect as well as Firepower. Once a threat was detected, being able to do the threat lookups and the live tracking was really useful."
"It is extensive in terms of providing visibility and insights into threats. It allows for research into a threat, and you can chart your progress on how you're resolving it."
"The threat Grid with the ability to observe the sandboxing, analyze, and perform investigations of different malicious files has been great."
"The VPN is most valuable. It's the best thing in the market today. We can use two-factor authentication with another platform, and we can authenticate with two-factor."
"Another of my favorite features is called the Device Trajectory, where it shows everything that's going on, on a computer. It shows the point in time when a virus is downloaded, so you can see if the user was surfing the internet or had a program open. It shows every running process and file access on the computer and saves it like a snapshot when it detects something malicious. It also has a File Trajectory, so you can even see if that file has been found on any of your other computers that have AMP."
"The most valuable feature is signature-based malware detection."
"The most valuable feature is its threat protection and data privacy, including its cyber attack and data protection, as we need to cover and protect data on user devices."
"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"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."
"The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs."
"The product is fairly technologically advanced and near the top of the market right now."
"As far as it functions, it works fine."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's an extremely user-friendly product."
"The main feature of this solution is it is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features of this product is that it's good for endpoint protection."
"Endpoint Security is efficient and easy to use. It doesn't slow the performance of your personal computer."
"The product can scale if you need it to."
"The reporting feature is good. Also, the device control is good."
"It could be improved in connection with artificial intelligence and IoT."
"The Linux agent is a simple offline classic agent, and it doesn't support Secure Boot, which is important to have on a Linux machine. The Linux agent has conflicts with other solutions, including the Exploit Prevention system found in Windows servers. We didn't find a fix during troubleshooting, and Cisco couldn't offer one either. Eventually, we had to shut down the Exploit Prevention system. We didn't like that as we always want a solution that can fit smoothly into the setup without causing problems, especially where security is concerned. The tool also caused CPU spikes on our production machine, and we were seriously considering moving to another product."
"An easier way to do deduplication of machines, or be alerted to the fact that there's more than one instance of a machine, would be useful... That way you could get a more accurate device count, so you're not having an inflated number."
"Its price is okay for us, but it can always be better. There's always room for improvement when it comes to pricing."
"In Orbital, there are tons of prebuilt queries, but there is not a lot of information in lay terms. There isn't enough information to help us with what we're looking for and why we are looking for it with this query. There are probably a dozen queries in there that really focus on what I need to focus on, but they are not always easy to find the first time through."
"They could improve the main dashboard to more clearly show me the things that I want to see. When I open the dashboard right now, I see a million things and they are not always the things that I need."
"We don't have issues. We think that Cisco covers all of the security aspects on the market. They continue to innovate in the right way."
"This product has issues with the number of false positives that it reports."
"This product should be cheaper."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
"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."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"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."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"Maybe the solution's monitoring could be improved with more dashboards, so there's no back and forth, back and forth."
"As far as improvements, maybe the licensing could be cheaper, but I think this solution is pretty okay."
"The solution could be more secure. It's an aspect the company needs to be mindful of."
"When it comes to handling the expiration of licenses, the solution should give a company more time to set up a renewal. It happens too abruptly right now."
"The solution sometimes slows down the computers of our clients, the performance needs to improve."
"Areas for improvement include signature update management and selecting the respective features on the endpoint side."
"The application running speed consumes that of RAM, so performance speed is an issue."
"We have zero-day detection of malware but it cannot detect other types of unknown intrusions."
