Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

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 product can be installed in almost any environment"
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"The most valuable feature is the integration between environments."
"The installation phase of the solution was very easy."
"We have a cloud-based instance, so we can deploy all our configurations through the cloud. That's the beauty of FireEye."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
"If the network has seen something, we can use that to put a block to all the endpoints."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The portal is easy to use and manage."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Technical support is excellent."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
 

Cons

"The price of McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"We'd like better UI on the management screen."
"The integration and display of the dashboards have to be done better."
"Impacts performance of the servers quite negatively."
"You do not have access to all the features when you use the Trellix web interface. For example, you cannot do device or drive encryption from the web interface. Also, when we're working with customers, it's sometimes challenging to get sales support. Delays mean we might lose an opportunity. Lastly, Trellix lacks some documentation about custom features."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"Performance is a problematic area in the solution needing improvement."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation.​"
"Report generation can be improved."
"The endpoint machines need improvement."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"With the on-prem one, the bug has been reported by the community in early January or February, something like that, at the beginning of the year, and it's still not addressed. They have released two versions since then, and yet neither of them addresses this specific issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers would need to purchase a license. If a customer purchases an MVISION Endpoint license, he may use that license to install ENS. It's a flexible license where you have the option to either use the McAfee security software or the Windows Defender managed by McAfee, which is MVISION Endpoint."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"There's a subscription on a yearly basis. It's not that expensive; it's quite affordable."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is based on an annual subscription."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"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."
"The licensing cost is on the more expensive side, but I thought it was worth it because they did a good job. It was one of the vendors I truly didn't have to worry about too much until this latest upgrade."
"The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
"It's reasonable in price"
