"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"It is a very complete platform."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"It has the best live response feature."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"One potential area for improvement in Symantec EDR is the reporting engine."
"The product doesn’t offer MDM functionality under its current licensing model."
"The network forensics feature could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have more integration and compatibility with other platforms."
"It would be good if it can anticipate zero-day attacks. I don't know how it can be done and if it is even a feature of this product."
"The solution can always be more stable and more secure."
"It should be easier to deploy Symantec's client for end-users."
"The interface is very complicated."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"I would personally give the tech support a rating of seven out of ten."
"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing. I would like to have more explanations and simplification in the user interface. It would be good to get help and see more explanations. It should tell us that a software is blocked and the reason for it. It would be good to be able to build chains in terms of what caused what, what worked, and what caused an issue. We are now moving from Carbon Black to Cortex XDR. While choosing antivirus software, we were also looking at Carbon Black because it also has an antivirus package, and it is next-generation, but we were told that Carbon Black doesn't support firewalls. We have Palo Alto firewalls. We would have chosen this solution if it supported firewalls, in particular next-generation firewalls, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Therefore, we decided on Cortex XDR because it integrates with Palo Alto firewalls."
"The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works."
"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 node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
