Security Analyst at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Detects a problem very quickly and enables us to prevent an issue before it occurs
The tool is not that fast. It can take time to build a query and to run the query There are plenty of features that would be great for them to develop so that we can simply be more antivirus. It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them.

Sec consultant at a tech services company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Has supported consistent deployment across departments but needs better OS compatibility and detection performance
I am not really looking for a new solution, actually, I was preparing for an interview and wanted to have a comparison between both tools. I have not worked with any of these products before, but we had a training demonstration yesterday with Dynatrace, and I have investigated the Wiz solution better. In terms of experience, it will be my first time with CDR. I am working with something for EDR, specifically, we have an EDR, it's VMware Carbon Black Cloud. They have a hybrid environment, both on-prem and cloud. I would usually recommend this product for big companies, because it's not cheap, so only big companies would I expect to pay for that. The review rating for VMware Carbon Black Cloud is 6 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have 20,000 endpoints in our organization. It's very critical to monitor each and every device with any of our solutions. By deploying Cybereason, it collects all the information from every computer and it will feed it to the AI engine and do a malware check. It's very clear cut and we save a lot of time. It detects the problem very quickly and we can prevent an issue before it occurs."
"Threat hunting is the most valuable feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud."
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is a user-friendly solution that can isolate machines from the rest of the network."
"We use it for platform metrics, for all use cases."
"The most valuable features are its lightweight design, ensuring minimal impact on end-users, and its real-time protection."
"The ability to quickly isolate a system from the network, while still being able to perform some forensics and mitigation work remotely, was of great value to us since we had many mobile and distributed systems."
"The enhanced logging and data analysis of the incident response and investigation components allowed us to quickly identify and resolve security issues before they could spread."
"For setup, the server can be given to you as a VM image and with minimal configuration needed."
"We also took full advantage of its incident response reporting capabilities to act as a “black box” for our infrastructure around strings of suspicious activity. The reporting and incident response capabilities were incredibly helpful during active security concerns."
 

Cons

"It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them."
"The education and awareness of customers here in Vietnam for Carbon Black CB Response is not good at the moment."
"The dashboard should be more user-friendly."
"For a junior engineer, it's confusing."
"One area for improvement is the maturity of its vulnerability features."
"Setup is incredibly complex and poorly documented. Every time an upgrade was needed we would need to engage Professional Services for troubleshooting help. Certificates and web services proved to be the most significant sticking points. Since the product runs on a Linux platform, perhaps having staff with more Linux experience could have alleviated some difficulty."
"If Carbon Black could improve in the area or reducing the number of false positives or if there was a better way to filter out false positives that would enhance efficiency and utility."
"The solution needs to simplify the process of adding custom watchlists, as well as embrace YARA for rule creation."
"The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"VMware Carbon Black Cloud is an expensive solution."
"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."
"You need to pay for the licensing of the product. The pricing is costly."
"The solution is very inexpensive so there is great cost savings to using it."
