Solutions Architect at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Simple deployment with good reports and dashboard

In terms of what could be improved, there are a lot of things identified and there is a lot of continuous improvement. A lot of the things are of a short time frame and a lot are way out. There was a tuning process but nothing specifically to call out. As for what could be included in the next release, we are working on the basic feature set. There are probably some things that, as we move through it, we'll come across that are deficient but right now we are not that far along to know. I don't want to say that they could not do certain advancement. For example, there are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up, but we're not ready for that. I don't even know what the capabilities are there, but that's something that, probably in the next 24 months, we will move forward on.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress

VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features that I have found most valuable are that the search capabilities are easy to use, the dashboards are good, the reports are good, and it is just simple from a deployment standpoint - that was easy."

"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."

"What I find most interesting is the performance of the end-point client, as well as the capability of detecting any activity on the end-user while using their browsers to navigate the internet."

"Carbon Black works completely differently from other products; we tested different products and Carbon Black was selected because it does not remove a virus but kills any suspect operations and lets the admin check the scenario, effectively stopping any suspicious activity based on unusual behavior rather than signatures."

"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."

"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."

"The protection of the user machines has been great, for example, if a laptop gets stolen, or an employee gets let go, the product provides us with the ability to actually lock people out of the network and handle remote wipes and stuff like that."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."

"I like its reporting."

Cons

"There are some automated network response portions that we want to turn up."

"The product's stability could be improved."

"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."

"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."

"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."

"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."

"The initial setup is complex."

"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."

"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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 is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."

"The product’s price is less expensive than other vendors."

"The platform is expensive."

"The pricing is very high."

"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."

"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."

"Overall, it was cost-effective too."
