Detects a problem very quickly and enables us to prevent an issue before it occurs
The tool is not that fast. It can take time to build a query and to run the query There are plenty of features that would be great for them to develop so that we can simply be more antivirus. It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have 20,000 endpoints in our organization. It's very critical to monitor each and every device with any of our solutions. By deploying Cybereason, it collects all the information from every computer and it will feed it to the AI engine and do a malware check. It's very clear cut and we save a lot of time. It detects the problem very quickly and we can prevent an issue before it occurs."
"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"The impact on performance and the ability to have greater visibility were pluses in my book."
"Since March of 2018, we have not had a malicious intrusion success."
"The offline networking is the most important feature."
"The solution is stable."
"During the company’s transition, we had a memory scraper infiltrate our network, and with the help of Carbon Black, we isolated the outbreak to a few point of sale machines."
"The security, specifically the endpoint security that the solution provides, is its most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature is that it detects and stops malicious executables."
 

Cons

"It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"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'm not happy with the way they are treating existing customers for adding licenses."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
"The product is expensive. There are some additional costs apart from the standard licensing charges attached to the solution."
"Its pricing was very good, which is one of the reasons I went to it as an alternative. It is on a yearly basis. There are no additional fees."
"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
