Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership. The support is certainly there.

Great granularity for policies or applications without needing hash values
The solution is cloud based which makes it easy to use for remote devices or work-at-home situations. The solution supports full trust or signature-based approvals. You can get very granular and band out policies or applications without having to do hash values. You can band through the entire environment by execution of the name or desk IDXE. This can be achieved on the policy side because of the signature, IOC, or naming convention itself. This is very effective for pushing more blockage or removing threats across the board. The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation. This is useful for monitoring several different companies in a workspace or workbook-type format. For example, I report and send out mass emails from a clickable button in an Excel workbook. The APIs all exist for each client. I push out automatic endpoint monitoring and reports every single day at a particular time, with a simple clickable button that serves as a scheduled task for fifty clients.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."
"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"It has the best live response feature."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"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."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
 

Cons

"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it."
"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."
"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"The support is poor."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"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."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
"The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
"Its pricing was very good, which is one of the reasons I went to it as an alternative. It is on a yearly basis. There are no additional fees."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"The product’s price is less expensive than other vendors."
"It's reasonable in price"
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
