Featured Reviews

Dejan Zecevic - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to install, runs smoothly, and offers good performance
Carbon Black was sold to Broadcom, and VMware basically was the owner of the Carbon Black. Now Broadcom is the owner of VMware. As the solution has changed hands, I expect some changes in licensing and in support. It remains to be seen if that will be good or bad.
EQ
It gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment
The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Carbon Black provides an overview of all our assets and their status."
"The greatest value of MDR involves the tests, reporting and alerts, so that we may respond immediately."
"The valuable features are threat hunting, threat intelligence feeds, and it culls all the activities of the endpoint. Additionally, the ML and AI engines are really good."
"The installation process is quick and easy."
"The fact that it's constantly hunting, looking for anomalies, and can evict without any intervention is really incredible."
"LMNTRIX gives us fantastic information about the security of our environment. It tells us about possible threats and how to fix any issues."
"LMNTRIX first validates incidents before alerting us of the activity, so we're not inundated with false positives."
"We have a dedicated technical representative that is very responsive."
"Automatic alerts from staying current with the threat landscape have helped us stay safe."
 

Cons

"In the future, it would be great if they could provide endpoint management and the ADR solution together in this package."
"As the solution has changed hands, I expect some changes in licensing and in support. It remains to be seen if that will be good or bad."
"Carbon Black's support could be better."
"The only multifactor authentication that is available is Google Authenticator. I would love to see other multifactor applications added to this list as well as physical devices such as Yubikey."
"In the beginning, we were having issues with the LMNTRIX respond agent not playing nice with Cisco AMP."
"The next release might include a monthly newsletter."
"The dashboard can seem overwhelming at times. It's fairly simple for the end user, and we don't need to do much to make it work, but the dashboard makes it seem a little more complicated than it actually is. There could also be more guidance on how to set up playbooks."
"The portal is still a bit buggy, although it's new and still being refined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is inexpensive compare with others. The company went out of its way to provide us with a favorable discount. However, there is room for improving the current licensing model and the price of some of the fees. The model is complex and could be streamlined."
"It's not the cheapest solution, but you certainly get what you paid for."
"The pricing and ease of install are great!"
"The cost is going to be a little higher than traditional endpoint protection, but you are getting the 24/7 monitoring and validation by highly skilled analysts and that makes it worth it."
