Comparison Results: Based on the reviews, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for its easy setup process and user-friendly features, including agent deployment and AI capabilities. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint may require more knowledge and experience. Carbon Black's MDR capability stands out among its features. Both products have areas for improvement, with SentinelOne needing enhancements in user-friendliness and stability, and Carbon Black requiring better node management and troubleshooting capabilities. Pricing for SentinelOne is considered reasonable, while Carbon Black is seen as more expensive. Customer support for both products receives mixed reviews.
"The setup is pretty simple."
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"The user interface, ease of maintenance, and the efficient way to identify the root cause of an incident to see all the factors that contributed to it are the most valuable features."
"The Microsoft integrations are most valuable right now."
"The platform is user-friendly, easy to administer, and aligns well with GDPR requirements, which is crucial for us."
"SentinelOne is very simple to install and very simple to manage. It's very aggressive, so it does protection well, and it seems to be stopping attacks that other solutions cannot."
"The deep visibility is a valuable feature. I can use it during threats or alert signals that we get. I can also use it when we have alert signals from other security tools that we have."
"SentinelOne Singularity Complete has a valuable feature that allows us to install the agent on every endpoint and extract all asset information for reporting purposes in our live inventory."
"The visibility and, obviously, the protection aspects are second to none when it comes to speed. Another thing we fall back on is the option to roll back an endpoint if it is infected. There is a shadow copy so that if a PC downloads malicious content, we can roll it back to the state it was in before that package was imported."
"The solution is powerful because we just have to update the agent by using the console, which is simple to do. I just select the endpoints and click "Update" on the console. That is it, because it is very easy to use."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"It has the best live response feature."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The support needs improvement."
"Initially, when we first deployed the solution, it caused some third-party connectivity issues."
"SentinelOne's phishing feature could be improved."
"The mobile agents need improvement, especially in their integration with the dashboard of the normal Windows Image-based agents."
"It is not so much on the Singularity platform itself, but they have their own built-in SIEM that is included with it. That needs to evolve a little bit. It is relatively basic in its capabilities. They have potential there for a great product and a needed product too. Having some kind of SIEM capability with the endpoint solution will save me from buying a bigger SIEM or buying another one. I could just use the one that comes with my endpoint solution."
"If there is a vulnerability that we know about, I search for that vulnerability—for example, Adobe. There are different versions of Adobe, but I'm not able to compile them into one report. I have to create separate reports for those versions."
"It seems like they are doing a lot with their automatic updates. They can maybe slow down the actual release cycle to make it easier to deploy the most recent and then do it using the live update. They can continue to work on that because trying to get agent changes through change management platforms and get approvals and testing can be quite difficult."
"I would like to see something a little more sophisticated than simply being able to mark a false positive as safe or there's usually just one or two options in certain areas and they're a little rudimentary at this stage."
"Using the filters takes a little bit of time to get to used to."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"The tech support communicates, but it's just not with movement."
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
