We compared Trellix Endpoint Security and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trellix offers a comprehensive management console and easy setup process, with a wide range of features. However, it could improve in terms of agent communication and user experience. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint has a more challenging initial setup but excels in continuous monitoring, incident detection and response. It could benefit from improvements in areas such as GUI, integration, and support. Overall, Trellix may have an advantage in user-friendly setup and management, while Carbon Black stands out in threat detection and response capabilities.
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"The most valuable features of the solution include DLP (data loss prevention), CASB (cloud access security broker) functionality, endpoint encryption, and cloud workload security."
"We receive good protection with this solution."
"Dynamic Application Containment."
"Anyone can use it, the protection is good, and they have all of the features."
"Automatic user recovery prior to Windows booting up."
"The solution includes a good combination of features for both signature and signature-less."
"It provides a robust defense against cybersecurity threats while offering user-friendly features like notifications and approval prompts."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"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."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"It has the best live response feature."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It uses machine learning and behavioral analytics for advanced threat detection and response."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The user interface could be improved by making it more user-friendly. There are multiple solutions and there is no clear line differentiating all of them. There is a centralized console where we manage everything but most of the administrators feel a little confused when it comes to managing multiple products from a single place."
"While we are pleased with the endpoint solution, there should also be a separate one for the firewall."
"There are more secure featured solutions from McAfee on the market but for smaller companies like ours, they are too expensive."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"An area of improvement for this solution is to make it easier to manage."
"They can make it free, but that's not going to happen."
"They can improve its resource consumption, such as memory, and maybe provide better or smaller updates. It always takes a lot of resources, but it has been getting better. I have been using McAfee products for the last 20 years or so, and I know it is getting better."
"The product is not easy to use."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"This product should be cheaper."
"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."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"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."
