Centralized encryption management has strengthened compliance and protects sensitive data daily
When deploying Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption, we faced some issues where scanning was not happening properly, and the policies may not have been created properly, which is the reason it was not working. There could be improvements specifically about the scanning part and policy part where we have to deploy what we actually require. I would like to see features that include collaboration of all alerts and applied analytics so we can immediately identify issues. Analytics can provide immediate reporting before issues spread, as sometimes one issue captured at the site level can spread to high-level operations. If identified and communicated to the team immediately, it could prevent issues. Usually, downloading and reviewing the report takes too much time, and many engineers skip it due to the volume of tasks. However, analytics could generate alerts and ticketing if integrated with the EMS application.

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

"One valuable feature is full disk encryption."
"We are protected at all points, all clean, all the time, with no attacks from the outside."
"Overall, I think that it's very interesting."
"It's a secure and quick solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the antivirus part it offers."
"It passes your data as encrypted in all of your endpoints so that data is more secure so any threat of theft is minimized."
"We're very satisfied with Trend Micro support."
"We use encryption to secure data and devices, and in case you lose your device or your data, this is a major feature that covers everything through encryption."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage; it has helped to detect threats across the data and contains full details of the process execution kill chain and go live for immediate remediation."
"It gives you all of the information in a short and sweet fashion."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"Since March of 2018, we have not had a malicious intrusion success."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
 

Cons

"They need to come up with cloud solutions."
"Compared to Bitlocker or McAfee Disk Encryption, it's not quite as robust."
"Should have more features of Deep Scanning"
"In the next release, it would be better if it was more user-friendly. It is a little complicated for the average technical person. If they can make it more user-friendly, it would be much easier and more helpful."
"If Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption comes up with a SaaS solution, it will be better rather than just having an on-premises solution."
"It is not easy to integrate with third party solutions."
"There are recovery issues that arise."
"There are a couple of bugs in this solution and these are creating a very large transaction log in the database, sometimes reaching 300GB, which is very annoying."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
