VMware Carbon Black Endpoint Benefits

It has improved the number of alerts or the number of threat events that we are able to recognize in our environment. And it also highlights the usage of potentially unwanted programs. So these are the ways in which that highlighted the possible vectors through which we can have an incident happening in our environment. That is one thing that we have seen. 

In addition, the detection ratio compared to that of a typical anti-virus and the EDR solution or the next gen AV as they call it, is on the ratio of one to ten when you compare it with a Symantec Endpoint Protection, McAfee AVR, or VirusScan Enterprise versus Carbon Black Defense.

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. Previously, we used a different solution for protecting the devices and we were not able to get enough data.

The solution just gave us another layer of protection from zero-day threats, because you can't always trust what your users are doing. You just have to do what you can technically to try to mitigate that.

We've integrated it with Splunk, with ThreatConnect, and a couple of others. It has a lot of modules for integration that has streamlined our ability to respond and decrease the amount of time for response, but also allowing us not to have to pivot to so many tools where we can actually work from more of a single pane of glass perspective.

System Analyst at a hospitality company with 1,001-5,000 employees

During the company’s transition, we had a memory scraper infiltrate our network, and  with the help of Carbon Black, we isolated the outbreak to a few point of sale machines.. We saw a step-by-step account of how the software was introduced into the environment, the host it originated from, and the destination address it was connecting too. Carbon Black stopped the spread in its tracks.

One of the strong features of the product is its endpoint visibility. It gives you more visibility than a traditional antivirus would give you.

The product has considerably decreased any of our malware or malicious software injection within our organization. Since March of 2018, we have not had a malicious intrusion success. It's kept us quite safe.

It has allowed us to protect our organization from viruses. We've seen many cases when people try to install innocent application, such as a web browser or something like that, and then there are attachments that are not so innocent. Carbon Black tells about such things.

We found that Trend Micro was producing a little bit more load on our servers than what we wanted. So, we went to Carbon Black because it was integrated with VMware. It is great on the servers. It puts very little load, and it does an excellent job.

Vice President of Sales (previously Sales Engineer) at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

We had a six-figure revenue stream knowing that we would be cleaning up viruses, malware, and spyware on PCs, every year. That was a revenue stream that we could just budget we were going to get. When we implemented Carbon Black, that revenue stream went to zero. That means that it's doing its job. 

From a business perspective, we've been able to virtually eliminate cyber attacks from spyware, malware, and virus perspectives.

It has improved our protection to have less false-positives. We have a greater ability to find malware notifications. It has improved between 30-35% more than prior to our use of the solution.
