Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support
In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
Customers want solutions that provide endpoint detection and response. The traditional antivirus solutions and the market trend are changing. Customers are asking for the latest technologies. Carbon Black has very good market strategies. We do the marketing activities and promote the product to the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."
"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"The most valuable feature is that it detects and stops malicious executables."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"There's lots of very useful documentation online to help troubleshoot and learn about the product."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
 

Cons

"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."
"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."
"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."
"Report generation can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
"A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"This solution works well but needs lots of tuning and optimization."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."
"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."
"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."
"This is a really expensive product and we pay licensing fees on a yearly basis."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"In terms of licensing costs, Carbon Black CB Defense was all associated with CROW and the services my company is using with them, so it came all-inclusive."
"The product is quite reasonable."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The license is annual. It's a standard license."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."
