Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automated response capability in SentinelOne enhances security operations. It means I don't have to worry about having too many security people watching it because you can automate a lot of the tasks."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
 

Cons

"The performance utilization on the device that it's monitoring. This aspect needs improvement."
"This solution works well but needs lots of tuning and optimization."
"I would like to see improvements made so that we can better see all of the processes."
"Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten; one is very expensive, and ten is an absolutely cheap product."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"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 cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
