We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It does not take many resources during scanning.""Security Premium's best features are blocking, notifications, and the user interface.""The dashboard is good.""The antivirus aspect of the solution is very good.""The most valuable feature is the multifunctional protection.""We like how it can check for issues. That includes files and web browsers.""Flexible antivirus and antimalware software. It also provides protection against ransomware. It's flexible, easy to handle, scalable, and stable.""The internet security was a plus, and it's pretty good."

"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.""It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks.""I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent.""It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis.""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 whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly.""It is stable and easy to set up.""What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."

Cons
"The solution can improve the security modules.""Having a dashboard that shows the different functions of Norton Security Premium can convince end users that the software is more than just an antivirus solution. This product offers several features, but end users think that it's just one out of the box solution, because the different functions are not explained in detail.""It would be helpful for me if this solution works on our cloud backup data.""Sometimes the program is too complex.""During scanning, sometimes, there is a heavy load on the workstation. This needs to be improved.""Occasionally when you open a ticket, there's a lack of understanding that prevents the solution from being resolved directly.""The only problem with Norton Antivirus is that it consumes a lot of resources like CPU and memory in the background. Whenever it's scanning, my laptop becomes very slow, and the worst part is you cannot do anything about it. As this product is secured by my local IT team, you cannot even kill that process, and that's what I've felt about many other antivirus solutions. I'm using McAfee for personal use, and I have the same problem.""I don't like the password manager of Norton Security Premium."

More Norton Security Premium [EOL] Cons →

"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products.""There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application.""Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​""Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7.""In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers.""Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert.""This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work.""The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "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."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
