"Microsoft Defender has a feature to protect each and every attachment. Even if it's an encrypted attachment, it will check for any potential threats."
"Since we have started using the solution, there have been fewer compromises."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly stable solution."
"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."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"Too many false positives and lacks an accurate capability to detect malicious SharePoint sites."
"Microsoft wants its well-paying customers to finish testing some of its half-baked products, find bugs, and report bugs back to Microsoft's team, which is a little frustrating for those who have to manage it and roll it up to thousands of people across the organization."
"Microsoft should provide more documentation for users so they can self-educate. I would like to see more documentation for advanced security features."
"There needs to be an improvement in integrating the product to work across multiple operating systems, and to have better support for non-Microsoft file types."

"I'd like some additional features any product can give me to protect our environment in a better way."
"I would like to see a feature where the tool ingests information from an anti-malware product that is present at the endpoint."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"In the next version, I'd like to see penetration testing."
"They just need to make it a little bit more accurate as far as their alerts are concerned. It does generate some false positives that you have to tune. You have to do a lot of tuning when you first get it because of the false positives, but once it is all tuned up and ready to go, it will do its thing from there."
"I believe their network monitoring device licensing module could use some improvement."
"It's quite expensive to have."
"The interface is too mathematical and it should be simplified."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts."
"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."
"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 UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"I haven't run into anything that needs improvement. The website interface can be a little bit better, but it's still good as compared to most others."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
