Comparison Results: When comparing Trend Micro Deep Security and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, it is generally believed that Deep Security has a simpler and more straightforward initial setup. Deep Security also offers a wider variety of deployment options and provides helpful documentation and video tutorials. Conversely, Carbon Black Endpoint's setup can be more difficult, requiring complex configurations and customized policies. However, Carbon Black Endpoint has advantageous features like MDR capability and a whitelisting process for protection against zero-day threats. Deep Security has a smaller impact on system resources and efficient threat detection, whereas Carbon Black Endpoint offers superior log analysis and continuous monitoring. Some customers find Deep Security's pricing to be high, while Carbon Black Endpoint is generally described as expensive. The quality of customer service for both products has received mixed reviews and has room for improvement.
"DLP, Data Loss Prevention, and the complexity of how we manage the console and how this client, or this tool, will notify us when there is something going wrong within the server and endpoint, is good."
"Virtual patching is a wonderful feature where we do a recommendation scan and an internal assessment on the server, and it updates the IPS signatures to block any attack. I have seen instances where it has prevented attacks on the end-of-support servers such as 2018 R2, and many years ago, even 2007 servers that were end-of-support. It certainly helped there."
"It has improved functions by bringing us complete security on our clients' virtual environment."
"It helps with virtual patching and IDS fetching."
"It provides security and protection. The endpoint firewall is valuable."
"It integrates well with the cloud; for example, AWS, and Google Cloud Provider."
"We've found stability to be great so far."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is reliable and can be used in small to large size businesses."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The data analysis is the most valuable because of the whitelist database. It is different than standard IDS solutions."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"The most valuable feature is that it detects and stops malicious executables."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"We can access computers remotely if we need to."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"There should be more tools to trace back. Some sort of module needs to be included to attach all the things. It should be more stable, and the traceback feature should be improved. There were cases when we got virtual analyzer or CMC errors. We got false-positive malware notifications, but we couldn't trace them. I raised a case with Trend Micro two or three times, but they couldn't resolve it. Their support should be improved in terms of technical abilities to troubleshoot complex issues. They should be more knowledgeable."
"Deep Security's reporting functionality could be improved."
"The support for email protection can be improved."
"The initial setup needs improvement, as it was a bit challenging."
"Trend Micro Deep Security security and scalability could be improved."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"The licensing structure could improve."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation."
"As far as I know, Carbon Defense has nothing that can be installed on mobile devices. It lacks a defense solution for mobile devices, especially mobile tablets. I would like to see support for mobile devices and the pricing should be less than the pricing for a normal workstation."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"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."
"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."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"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."
