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."NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"The stability is very good."
"Having all monitoring, response, tracking, and mitigation tools in one dashboard provides our analysts and SOC team with a comprehensive view at a glance."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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."
"Fortinet is very user-friendly for customers."
"It helps our security team respond more accurately when there are threats, then we get less false positives or negatives."
"It is stable. We have been using it for some time, without any issues."
"We've contacted technical support several times. They've been very good. They have been able to help us resolve our issues."
"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."
"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."
"RSA NetWitness does market analysis in a more granular form. It gives you full visibility."
"The most valuable feature is the way it captures the traffic, and it contains every detail of the communication."
"Ability to isolate the machine when there are malicious files."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"I like the historical features, interface, and integration."
"It actually does some heuristics, and some behavioral analysis."
"Technical support is excellent."
"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 rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs."
"I like its reporting."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The amount of usage, the number of details we get, or the number of options that can be tweaked is limited in comparison to that with other EDR solutions"
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"The solution lacks a reporting engine."
"NetWitness Endpoint's blocking feature does not work properly - if there's a malicious process, it's not possible to kill it via a custom rule unless and until it's flagged as malicious."
"We would like to see the hunting and investigation features of this solution improved, in order to provide better visibility of issues."
"When analyzing something, you have to click several times. It requires a lot of effort to find something."
"The initial setup requires a high level of skill."
"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."
"Threat detection could be better."
"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 has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The GUI and reporting should be addressed and the product's administration features need fine tuning."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"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."
"I would like to see the user credentials feature improved. I would also like to see more reporting features and better ways to roll the reports out."
"But here, we hardly can take any kind of a report out of Carbon Black, so I think that should be something that should be more user-friendly."
"The application control can be improved. It should also have an automatic update of the agents."
