We performed a comparison between Sophos EPP Suite and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The solution is useful for security purposes."
"The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature."
"Great cloud management."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."
"The product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"The management console need improvement."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"The solution lacks technical support."
"The solution could improve on the resource management, it is a bit heavy on the resources."
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
"When you view the triage, it will show you everything within a given time frame, and not only the attack that caused the alert, which is what I want to see. It shows you all the events during that time, and that can be quite confusing."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"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 initial setup is complex."
