"The initial setup can be a bit challenging."
"It should offer better security updates."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."

"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"There is room for improvement in the support and service team."
