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 most valuable features are web security, email filtering, and content filtering."
"There is no competition for this product, as no other product provides HIPS, host-firewall, and anti-malware together."
"Automated virtual patching is a good feature."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"Support and threat prevention are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable and advanced feature of the solution is the ability to check vulnerabilities."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"There is a degree of set it and forget it in regards to the actual endpoints and what you can do with the console, which is nice."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The solution is stable."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The initial setup is very easy."
 

Cons

"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The cost is very high."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"We'd like to see extended capacity in the on-premises versions."
"We are not very happy with Trend Micro Deep Security since it is not able to detect many viruses and bugs."
"It needs to improve its integration with a lot of other products. This should be in the road map because we have a lot of SaaS-based appliances which are not connected with each other."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"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."
"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 UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
"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."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is high."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
"The pricing is fair."
"It is expensive but reasonable compared to other products by Trend Micro."
"Purchasing on the AWS Marketplace was easy. We decided to purchase this solution on the AWS Marketplace since we were already there."
"It's more expensive than other solutions, such as Sophos and Kaspersky, as an endpoint solution."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"The tool's pricing is quite high."
"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 license is annual. It's a standard license."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is an expensive product."
"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 pricing is annually based and operates through another department than mine."
"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."
"Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
"The product’s price is less expensive than other vendors."
