It has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total.

Centralization via the cloud allows us to protect and control people working from home

Pros

"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well. "

Cons

"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."

A tool to monitor events and verify logs that provides excellent support to its users

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."

Cons

"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. "

The manage, detect, and response feature enables Carbon Black to continuously check logs and advise us on how to improve some of the policies

Pros

"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know. "

Cons

"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend. "
