We performed a comparison between NetWitness XDR and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is pretty simple."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Fortinet FortiEDR made our clients feel secure and more at ease, knowing that they had an EDR solution that would close the gap in their security posture."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"The stability is very good."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"It's a scalable solution. We have around five to eight customers using RSA NetWitness Endpoint, and we hope to increase the number of users."
"They have recently updated the features and the most valuable ones are the instant threat response, ease of use, web interface, integration, and easy access. RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very compatible with other solutions and technologies. However, they do not rely on third-party solutions and have most features built-in."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"The stability of the RSA NetWitness Endpoint is very good."
"This solution allows us to locate the malware in real-time."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"It is very easy to use, and its usability is great. The use cases are also very easy. The visualizations of the use cases are magnificent. You cannot find this in any other solution. From my point of view, it is great."
"NetWitness Endpoint's most valuable features are its interoperability across many different operating systems and the ease of pivoting from network to endpoint via a single console."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The triage feature that shows you the whole chain of the malware is useful."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the alerts."
"The threat analysis functionality is good."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"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 like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The support needs improvement."
"The solution is not stable."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"RSA NetWitness Network could improve on integration with non-native application integration."
"I would like to see Security Orchestration and Response Automation (SOAR) integration."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"Threat detection could be better."
"The threat intelligence could improve in RSA NetWitness Endpoint."
"This solution needs an upgrade in reporting. I have heard from RSA that they are working on this, but as of yet it is not available."
"The solution is modular, for example you can buy the RSA ePack, which you buy as a module is not part of the conduit solution. They could include it and have it as an all-in-one solution."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."
"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."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"Carbon Black CB Defense has helped improve my organization by allowing us to have better data so that we can do correlation and get visibility into the 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."
"This product should be cheaper."
"CB Defense could be more compatible with Linux, and its cloud provision could be improved."
