The initial setup for Carbon Black can be challenging but generally manageable. Deployment may take a longer time, ranging from a few weeks to a month, and there might be some complexities involved. However, the overall rating for the setup process is positive.
Comparison Results: Bitdefender GravityZone EDR is commended for its user-friendly setup, comprehensive nature, and reasonable pricing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of performance, interface, reporting, and support. Conversely, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint offers continuous monitoring, policy enhancements, threat prevention, and extensive features, despite a challenging setup. Improvements needed include node management, GUI, troubleshooting capabilities, compatibility, and pricing concerns. Overall, Bitdefender GravityZone EDR stands out for its easier setup and positive feedback on pricing, while VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is recognized for its impressive features and capabilities.
"It is stable and scalable."
"The price is low and quite competitive with others."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"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 setup was easy."
"They are constantly updating the solution against malware."
"It is a good anti-malware product that is highly stable."
"We have had no issues with the support and consider it to be good, even when it comes to accredited resellers."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to whitelist, blacklist, and be very granular as to what I blocked, what apps I blocked, and what websites I block. I think that's probably the most valuable feature."
"Useful for the day-to-day analysis of the security infrastructure."
"I like that you can manage all the time and you can uninstall and install everything via the web console."
"It efficiently investigates security incidents."
"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."
"It has the best live response feature."
"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"You can deploy it through the cloud so that even if your stuff is outside of your controlled environment, you are still under control, based on the policies you create. The policies are controlled through the cloud. For example, if I don't allow anyone to do a certain activity or to install a particular app, and a consultant or a partner who is not part of our environment is doing so, it will stop them as well."
"It is a very complete platform."
"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 should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"Detections could be improved."
"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"
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"Bitdefender GravityZone EDR doesn't have an official office in Saudi Arabia, which is important if the vendor wants to gain or be closer to their customers."
"The interface could be improved."
"The on-premises setup for Bitdefender sometimes faces issues with connectivity. Management of Windows Defender is a bit easier compared to Bitdefender."
"The solution wasn't designed to be used in France."
"If we could directly push the agent to the script, it'll be very good."
"The installation is not straightforward and should be easier to do."
"While the solution is secure, it could have better integration."
"The one thing that we are missing and want to see is user analytics. So, that is what I'm really interested in: behavior analytics and end user behavior."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation."
"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."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"In my company, we face issues sometimes when there is a need to write custom rules or we want to write for some rules that are different from the standard rules provided by the solution."
"Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming."
"The initial setup is complex."
"In the next release, it would help if we can get better control over containers."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
