"For setup, the server can be given to you as a VM image and with minimal configuration needed.""Integration and scalability are the most valuable.""We are able to remotely isolate exploited endpoints in seconds and perform a live deep dive of any endpoint into its running processes (as necessary) without the need for extra scripts.​""​The ability to isolate an endpoint with only the host name and a click of a button is a major time saver.""Carbon Black Cb Response excels at providing context to indicators when responding to incidents. It allows responders to understand the entire scope of an incident and quickly contain it to minimize impact and disruption.""The detection response and quarantining are very good features.""They're highly stable in comparison with other solutions I have.""Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud."

Cons
"In future releases, I would like to add a follow-up and reminder feature. For the tickets in our queue, we could set reminders. This would help us prioritize older tickets before moving on to new ones.""The solution needs to make customization easier. You cannot do much customization immediately. It requires an extensive workload. If the customization process was user-friendly, it would be much better.""There are limitations for the third-parties that are providing the inputs. They should increase the robustness of the solution.""It doesn't interact with things very well.""It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified.""It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react.""​Process framework and best practices for ease of integration between IT and security teams via incident, problem, and change.​""The product is called SecOps, but it is not security operations in terms of SIEM solutions."

More ServiceNow Security Operations Cons →

"The support team of Carbon Black CB Response needs improvement. At present, they need a lot of information. Then they give you an answer that they already gave you. You tell them it didn't work, and then they take a long time.""They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents""We are subscribed to FS-ISAC threat indicator, but have been unsuccessful in adding it to our alliance feeds.""The solution can only handle about 500 bans or blocks.""The solution needs to simplify the process of adding custom watchlists, as well as embrace YARA for rule creation.""The threat intelligence feed could use some fine tweaking.""The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions.""It's not simple."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product is a good value for the money."
  • "If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."
  • "The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
  • More ServiceNow Security Operations Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We had no issues purchasing through our preferred reseller and were able to get a fair price even when not purchasing direct. Carbon Black Enterprise Response didn’t break the bank, though adding on the matching antivirus and anti-malware components of the Protect product was more than we could afford, even with some discounting. Cb Response is really designed to complement Carbon Black’s Defense product. While Response can be used on its own, coupling with Defense seems like the best strategy if you can afford the price tag."
  • "Purchase Professional Services up front as part of the implementation package, then renew hours annually to ensure you have adequate support for upgrades and enhancements. Overbuy by at least 10% to account for infrastructure growth."
  • "Pricing for this solution could be made lower."
  • "The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
  • "You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
  • "VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
