Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

The solution is expensive, support is poor, and it takes time to understand the product
I have worked with traditional antivirus solutions like Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Sophos, and F-Secure. Broadcom acquired Symantec, and Trellix acquired McAfee. The market is disturbed as other solutions are acquiring the traditional leaders. Getting support is becoming a challenge. Carbon Black provides endpoint detection and response. CrowdStrike provides vulnerability assessment and application testing features. It gives additional threat prevention to the customer. So, I prefer CrowdStrike over Carbon Black. Carbon Black and CrowdStrike provide very good market strategies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"It has been protecting us for many years, and we hope it will continue to do so for many years to come."
"It's easy to use."
"This is a good solution for antivirus and malware protection."
"We like the management of the ePO, and we like the management console."
"The new central console is better than the earlier one."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"I think the costing is fine compared to other products. Cost-wise you definitely get value for your money."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"Some of the valuable features I have found are the online documentation of the solution is well organized and thorough. I like the simplicity of bypass and the visualization of the active components."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
 

Cons

"It would be a lot easier if I could add multiple user accounts within a single device."
"I would like to see more integration with third-party products."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"It would be helpful if the controlling of connections coming to the PC could be done from McAfee's side so that we can block those connections."
"The solution's technical support should be improved since we faced a lot of issues with the support. There were some delays in responses from the technical support."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"I would like this solution to do what Palo Alto traps does because I would only need to run this one product."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"Report generation can be improved."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For each computer that is connected to the server McAfee charges us for each computer based on our license agreement."
"There are some extra expenses for using the product, in addition to licensing related to the maintenance of the product."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"No comment."
"The solution is not an expensive tool. Compared to other options, it's mostly average-priced. I've deployed it for customers ranging from 100 nodes to over 5,000 nodes. Its renewal prices are very low, and it offers both perpetual and subscription licenses. With a perpetual license, the product will keep working as long as it's not end-of-life, which benefits companies."
"It is reasonably priced."
"Trellix may cost around $46 to $47 for a single license without an EDR."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The platform is expensive."
"Overall, it was cost-effective too."
"CB Defense is available on a yearly subscription and is priced by the number of endpoints."
"Carbon Black provides competitive pricing."
"The solution has almost the same price as other different kinds of infrastructures, but it offers a lot of different features."
"It is more expensive, but it's worth it. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is very high."
"The pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
