Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Isolation feature contains, prevents attacks, but we have faced compatibility issues
The initial setup was very straightforward, very basic policies, not a lot of complicated policies involved. We found it pretty straightforward. The deployment, on a scale of one to ten, with one being the hardest and ten being the easiest, was about a six. There are a few reasons. First, it requires a reboot, so it is very intrusive for the end-user, and it also requires an initialization period, which is usually about 20 minutes of slowdown to a workstation. So when you deploy, not only is the user asked to reboot their computer, they are also asked to wait for 20 minutes while it sits there and initializes. It definitely impacts the end-user. It takes time away from their day. We try to minimize that impact by scheduling our deployments right before lunch so that they can reboot and then it can initialize while they are at a lunch break. But, of course, not everybody works the same hours. A lot of other agents do not require a reboot and are pretty invisible to the end-user. This is definitely "in your face" to the end-user.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"It is a stable solution."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"Now, instead of us having to go through that analysis, they actually give us a monthly report that shows us: "Here's what you got hit with, here's what would have happened, here are the forensics behind the attack," and, obviously, Bromium stopped it."
"The most valuable feature is the process isolation because it simply stops malware from infecting the machines."
"The feature that stands out the most is that when someone clicks on a link in an email... [if] that link is malicious and it has some malware or keylogger attached to it, when it opens up in that Bromium virtualized browser, there's no chance of it actually being on the machine and running, because as soon as they click that "X" in the upper right-hand side of the browser, everything just vanishes. That is an added plus."
"Our overall security posture has absolutely improved as a result of adding Bromium to our security stack. We continue to have less user impact through a significantly reduced amount of malware infections. It's become a non-event."
"It has prevented thousands of potential threats by encapsulating them within its own vSentry container, thus providing overall protection and integrity of the operating system."
"We've been able to isolate and prevent malicious code from external email attachments and from downloaded internet files. Those are the two big areas that have really made an impact."
"I use HP Wolf Security to add a layer of safety, especially for laptops operating in various environments."
"The isolation feature is the most important because it prevents attacks."
 

Cons

"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Initial setup was complex. There were many configurations that needed to be worked out with the vendor. The setup required hands-on assistance from Bromium."
"Reporting is one of the shortcomings of the product. We do mine the data that's in there from a forensics perspective... It becomes very difficult because you have to spend a lot of time digging through the volumes of data. Reporting is absolutely the biggest shortcoming."
"I did not find this to be an out-of-the-box solution, it required planning and alignment across many groups."
"The tool behaves differently when I ported to Windows 11."
"After a major release, there's always a lot of "dust settling." You have to work through all those issues and then you're fine for a while. The problem is, it's stable, it's fine, until the next major release comes out. Then you go back into the cycle again of uncertainty, instability, working through issues until they have patched and remediated all the problems that you're having. It's not unlike any other vendor though"
"Initially, when we came in contact with Bromium a few years ago, it had a nice threat analyst, or a LAVA Pop, which is what they used to call it. Once it detected malware, it would show us the malware's path... I don't see that on the computers now. We only get to see that in the console. I would like to still see that on the individual machines because when we go out to look at a machine, we don't necessarily have access to the console."
"They have always struggled with usability. The protection that it offers you is tremendous, but there's definitely an impact with use of resources on the computer. It's gotten a lot better now with Win 10. But sometimes, when you open up a website, it's going to take longer than it would without Bromium, and it's the same with documents."
"Room for improvement would be keeping up with the rate of change, specifically on Windows platforms. There are a lot of updates that come out for Microsoft Windows operating systems and the Bromium product needs to be able to keep up quickly with those updates and all the browser updates that are coming out. It's hard to do, but that's really where they need to be more responsive because we end up with problems and then we have to call support to get patches, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"You'll need to pay more than the product's original price for the support."
"It is more expensive than one of its competitors."
"The product came as a bundle with the machine."
"Pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is very fair compared to the competition. The licensing is straightforward."
"The product's pricing is a good value. We only run it on our internet-facing workstations, we don't run it on everything in our environment. We are very selective. Some organizations may want to consider doing something like that to reduce their license count."
"I think the pricing is a good value. All of these security products are always going to be very expensive, but I don't think Bromium is unreasonable. I think Bromium is decently priced. It’s a tiered licensing platform. The more you buy, the cheaper gets per unit, and I think their tiers are very well defined. I think they're fair."
