Detects a problem very quickly and enables us to prevent an issue before it occurs
The tool is not that fast. It can take time to build a query and to run the query There are plenty of features that would be great for them to develop so that we can simply be more antivirus. It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them.

Improved incident investigation has supported response while core protection still needs progress
VMware Carbon Black Endpoint does not have easy integration, as there are many complexities with the Ribitava API, which is very deep. I rate this solution overall as a five or six on a scale from one to ten. I have integrated VMware Carbon Black Endpoint with other tools that are helpful. I think this solution should be targeted at small clients, because adoption will grow more with small businesses tomorrow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have 20,000 endpoints in our organization. It's very critical to monitor each and every device with any of our solutions. By deploying Cybereason, it collects all the information from every computer and it will feed it to the AI engine and do a malware check. It's very clear cut and we save a lot of time. It detects the problem very quickly and we can prevent an issue before it occurs."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"In our POC, we had 200 samples including ones that were available but not as popular and we received a 100% efficacy."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
 

Cons

"It's all on the analysis part. They currently support from email only. If we have a problem with Cybereason like high memory utilization, for example, we send an email to their team and they respond when they see it, but there is no on-call support. They don't offer the ability to call them."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I rate the technical support for VMware Carbon Black Endpoint as zero on a scale of one to ten."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"I'm not happy with the way they are treating existing customers for adding licenses."
"Occasionally, we'll have issues with the latest version and they'll basically tell us that they will improve it in the next iteration. They need to work on their version release quality."
