It is stable. It does not use a lot of CPU or RAM. This is one of its good points.

The stability of the solution has been good. I like the fact that their call home is a single port, 443, a well-known port with a backup port, 54443. Their architecture, that way is easy for network admin to understand and open up and passing firewalls. In contrast with ATP, ATP has a lot of port requirements, It is much more complex and easy to misunderstand ATP communications until you really dig hard to see how does it work. This solution is much simpler that way. Additionally, performance-wise, user agents seem to hover around 1%-2%, it is fairly efficient and lightweight.

Sometimes, my company's customers have issues with the solution, and at other times, it is a good solution. Whenever a person tries to install any software, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint will interrupt and stop that installation process. If a person faces the aforementioned issue with the solution, then they can raise a ticket so that our company can investigate and provide a resolution.

In terms of stability, since it is hosted on the AWS side, which is Carbon Black Cloud, if something goes down, we may have to do a lot of patching and monitoring. However, we usually receive updates and educate the users on changes in the background. Proper training should be provided to the users so that they are prepared for any changes happening in the background from the AWS website.
Overall, I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because sometimes the communication breaks down, but they are working to resolve the issue, and many teams are involved. However, we don't have much visibility into their efforts, which need improvement. It should be crystal clear what is happening in the backend, and the administrators should communicate this clearly so that we can work accordingly and meet the requirements.

Senior Security Consultant at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
We had some issues with the stability. In regards to the driver file, and the CTI files, there were some issues. In addition, there were a couple of issues with servers and the workstations. It was an intermittent issue, and not widespread. But it was basically because the current organization I'm working with, we created a lot of in-house applications. They don't go very much hand-in-hand with Carbon Black enabled. They have certain behaviors, like they inject code into themselves, which is a design that they have. Even the Microsoft authorized or licensed tools exhibit such kind of a behavior. And these behaviors are being identified as a malicious behavior.
I think it would be better if they can have an application database, where if these kind of applications are performing this, you can bypass, or you can overlook them. Something like that would be helpful. Otherwise, we will have to manually bypass them or allow them logs, as per the policy configuration for these applications. It takes a little bit of an extra time in terms of developing a new tool in the in-house application, as concerned.

Threat and Vulnerability Engineer at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey
Stability is one thing that's not robust. Other products are faster, but as far as the CB Defense, it's slow. We had some issues with the sensors and we also saw slowness on the Windows side, Windows file share, which actually was fixed in the next new version of the sensor.
I'm the only network security person here. But the other users who have different roles have access as well. In my team, there are five or six people. But I'm the only one actually directing changes.
We use it on a daily basis.
There are always alerts so I'll always have to check into alerts and see what's going on and then do some more analysis. If it's a new application we are implementing that will also need to be configured on Carbon.

We've been quite happy with the stability of Carbon Black.
Symantec has a much longer history of having a good, proven, stable platform. That is the big difference.
I can't really speak to any particular issues that we've had with one versus the other. They both seem pretty good.

The solution is generally mostly stable. We tend to try to stay one version back in order to get better stability. I've run into problems already where Carbon Black has flagged certain things in a later release that they weren't flagging previously and it disrupts my user base.

The stability of the on-premises servers had no issues but the resource allocation on the clients was a bit high, especially with having to run two agents. The detection agent, the Whitelist, and the control agent.
