Protects the global station and has good stability
The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better. The solution needs better integration with products, if it did, it would have the assumption of better security. I've been using the solution since…

The solution has an easy setup but needs to mature on cloud environment security
The maturity of the Kubernetes security is absent in Carbon Black CB Defense. The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security. Security is available only for Windows, while security for Linux and Mac is not very strong. The deadlock issue causes me to put more effort into installing an upgrade. The numerous issues with the environment of the product solution should be addressed. Work orders are taking more than two months to get resolved. There's been one issue open for two months, and the solution they gave is being implemented step by step. Still, it is not meeting the requirements and breaking the system. Hence, our business is completely disturbed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I find most valuable is that it protects the global station."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The portal is easy to use and manage."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
 

Cons

"The solution's integration with the Windows environment could be better."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"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."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive. There are some additional costs apart from the standard licensing charges attached to the solution."
