We compared Trellix Endpoint Security and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trellix offers a comprehensive management console and easy setup process, with a wide range of features. However, it could improve in terms of agent communication and user experience. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint has a more challenging initial setup but excels in continuous monitoring, incident detection and response. It could benefit from improvements in areas such as GUI, integration, and support. Overall, Trellix may have an advantage in user-friendly setup and management, while Carbon Black stands out in threat detection and response capabilities.
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"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"
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are the adaptive tech on McAfee."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"The DLP and user interface are the most valuable feature."
"Some of McAfee Endpoint Security's main features are it has benefits over normal conventional antivirus solutions because it works much faster."
"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The solution is stable."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"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 dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution could provide open XDR in addition to EDR."
"The solution consumes a lot of end user memory and CPU. Trellix doesn't really focus much on the anti-malware side."
"The management console is a little bit difficult to understand for admins. You need a lot of time in order to become familiar with that. It is a little bit complicated and not too easy to understand. Its price can also be improved. Its price is higher than its competitors. McAfee also needs to have better cloud integration and more data centers in the EU. The cloud center should be in Europe or in Germany. In Germany, it is really important to have access to your data within the same country. Customer data needs to be placed and processed in the same country."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"Signatures to protect against new attacks."
"The DAC (Dynamic Application Containment) component of this product needs improvement."
"The solution should provide a more easy way to uninstall it on specific stations."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
"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 GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
