Durai  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
I have worked with traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Sophos, and F-Secure. Broadcom acquired Symantec, and Trellix acquired McAfee. The market is disturbed as other solutions are acquiring the traditional leaders. Getting support is becoming a challenge. Carbon Black provides endpoint detection and response. CrowdStrike provides vulnerability assessment and application testing features. It gives additional threat prevention to the customer. So, I prefer CrowdStrike over Carbon Black. Carbon Black and CrowdStrike provide very good market strategies.
