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.

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

"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."
"Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."
"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"Behavioral Monitoring stops known malicious events before they even begin."
"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."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"I found it very valuable as a whole. It is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe. It is also very easy to use."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"It has the best live response feature."
 

Cons

"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."
"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."
"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"This solution works well but needs lots of tuning and optimization."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"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."
"Carbon Black has limited capability to integrate with Rapid7."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
"Price-wise, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly-priced solution. Regarding the licensing cost of the solution, one needs to opt for an annual subscription."
"​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"The product’s price is less expensive than other vendors."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
"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."
"We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
