We performed a comparison between Trend Micro ServerProtect and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"I use this solution for data blocking, software protection, and frame protection."
"The most valuable features are the anti-malware and antivirus capabilities."
"ServerProtect's best feature is virtual patching, which takes care of patching even if your servers aren't updated with the latest threat definitions."
"Performance is very good."
"It can be managed from the cloud."
"Scalable security solution with virtualization and virtual patching functions, able to provide full security that's specific to the service, e.g. it handles virtual machines better."
"It helps us quickly address potential issues and provides us with valuable insights."
"Technical support was perfect."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."
"The EDR and reports were helpful in improving our organization."
"We have another piece of that infrastructure that does what they call threat emulation. It's like sandboxing where it takes files that it doesn't know about, puts them in a VM-type environment, and it kicks them off to see if there's any malware or tendencies that might look like malware, that kind of thing."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The support needs improvement."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The solution is not stable."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"Lacking analytics and a machine learning technique."
"The endpoint protection could always be stronger."
"One thing I have been facing is that some fake threats have appeared that even Trend Micro was not able to clear up. It couldn't tell you why these threats are happening, where they are coming from and what the costs are."
"No built-in vulnerability scanner for management solutions."
"The cost is very high and it should be lower to be more competitive."
"Trend Micro is a little bit complicated when it comes to setting up special policies."
"We found that when we push Trend Micro from the console to our client's PCs, we need to manually restart the PC. I have 500 users and the manual input is time-consuming."
"There are a few areas of improvement. Despite its high performance, there are certain aspects related to the operating system that could be improved. Specifically, I find that the protection for certain actions requires more effort compared to other actions."
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"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 directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
