We are using the automated email process for support, and they respond within an hour or two hours sometimes.
A chat service would be beneficial.
Whenever I raise a ticket, whether critical or high priority, their team responds immediately, often over calls, and works towards closing the request with the highest priority.

Trend Micro Deep Security is very stable and provides protection at all times without issues.
We believe that software works fine until it is patched, managed, or monitored by the IT teams.
 

Room For Improvement

SentinelOne Singularity Complete needs improvements in updates, false positives, integration, pricing, customization, access control, and threat detection.
Trend Micro Deep Security needs improved integration, interface, pricing, support, and advanced features like automation and cloud compatibility.
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint struggles with mobile support, complex UI, performance issues, inadequate reporting, and insufficient third-party integration.
The only thing that prevented the attack from succeeding was a free version of Malwarebytes.
Providing a single pane of visibility for the end user would be beneficial.
It's challenging to prevent a user from manipulating their privileges or someone else's of others, and it's difficult to control what users can access at the organizational level.
Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers.
The user interface could be more user-friendly, as navigation sometimes requires familiarity with the console.
Microsoft provides ATP solution in their Defender, that not only filters the emails but also detects spam and malware in attachments, and it provides security for SharePoint solution, Teams, and other products available on the cloud.
It would be a good addition for VMware Carbon Black Endpoint to have features that allow for better integration with SIEM systems.
 

Setup Cost

SentinelOne Singularity Complete provides cost-effective endpoint security, with competitive pricing justified by its comprehensive and flexible features.
Trend Micro Deep Security offers varied pricing, competitive for some but cited as costly by others compared to competitors.
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint licensing is seen as expensive and inflexible, with prices ranging from $15 to $7,000 per node.
If you want protection, you have to pay the price.
There are other products that are less expensive, but I tell my clients that in security, they cannot cut corners or look for the cheapest solution.
They counted many of the instances and licenses as duplicates despite them only being alive once, which was frustrating.
We give a fair comparison of all the products, and give them clear insights of the products, which makes it helpful for the customer to make a final decision to purchase the license or product.
Trend Micro Deep Security is considered overpriced, which poses a challenge in selling it to many customers.
The pricing is moderate, not expensive or very cheap.
 

Valuable Features

SentinelOne Singularity Complete is lauded for AI threat detection, automation, user-friendly interface, and efficient endpoint security without cloud reliance.
Trend Micro Deep Security excels with agentless deployment, integrations, and comprehensive security features, earning high user satisfaction.
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint offers robust remote security with intuitive real-time detection, AI-driven threat response, and centralized cloud control.
I have an advanced app providing visibility of all my endpoints, which was not the case before.
SentinelOne has a feature to decommission automatically, which has been fantastic.
There's also automation that gives my team free time, preventing them from having to look for every alert.
It is well-suited for state government customers who require a complete sense of security.
Trend Micro Deep Security offers valuable features such as virtual patching, which allows me to manage server downtime challenges by taking care of threats.
For threat detection, they use heuristic behavior detection, and sometimes, if they think there is a sort of attack which is new, they alert you, and they detect and show where the attack is coming from.
One significant advantage of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was that while CrowdStrike experienced a big outage, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint remained unaffected and continued protecting us.

Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
It integrates well with other platforms, is user-friendly, and is stable
SentinelOne Singularity Complete integrates with our other security solutions, correlating data from NDR, ADR, SIEM, and XDR tools. All this information is consolidated within SentinelOne, providing a centralized access point. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us streamline our security operations by consolidating multiple solutions into a single platform. We are currently in the process of acquiring a threat intelligence platform to complete our security stack. We use Ranger to monitor our network and track connected devices. This is crucial because it helps us quickly identify unauthorized machines connected to our infrastructure, including personal devices. We have additional security measures in place, but Ranger provides an extra layer of protection. It also alerts us if the SentinelOne Singularity Complete agent is missing from any new or existing machines, allowing us to take appropriate action. SentinelOne Ranger's agentless and hardware-independent nature is crucial for our environment with 26,000 endpoints, as manual management of such a large number would be extremely challenging. Ranger uses a multi-layered approach to prevent vulnerable devices from being compromised. We employ scanners, network configurations, and a risk scanner to assess devices, endpoints, servers, and cloud infrastructures. Vulnerability reports and timelines for remediation are shared with device owners or custodians. This proactive strategy enables us to address vulnerabilities efficiently and secure our infrastructure. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has significantly enhanced our security posture. While no system is impenetrable, this solution has brought us closer to achieving a high level of protection, ensuring we maintain at least a 90 percent security level. Our team is dedicated to refining alerts and eliminating false positives from our solutions. Additionally, a team is responsible for identifying and excluding alerts from the solution. We can manually expedite this process by reviewing these elements and utilizing our security tools. We have been able to reduce the alert volume by 20 percent. Our 30-member Security Operations Center team has been able to redirect their focus to other tasks due to the time saved after implementing SentinelOne Singularity Complete. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us improve our mean time to detect threats, which we accomplish using the Vigilance service for detection and response. SentinelOne Singularity Complete has helped us decrease our organizational risk. We utilize the Security Scorecard to manage our security posture, which has remained steady at 90 percent.

Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.
Nikunj Kamboj - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates well with our existing SIEM tool and helps in identifying suspicious activities
The solution's integration with our existing security infrastructure is good. Whenever we have any alert in VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, we can easily that alert in our SIEM tool and check logs from the SIEM tool itself. VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is just a secondary security tool for us, and we are just monitoring the alerts from it. The solution's behavioral analytics feature helps in identifying suspicious activities pretty well. Whenever we have even a small thing, we get an alert. The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. Performance-wise, the solution is doing great in terms of connecting to the host directly. Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours. A malware scan is something that we do only on Carbon Black for the old endpoint devices and servers. It used to take sometimes three days to perform. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
