We compared Trellix Endpoint Security and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Trellix offers a comprehensive management console and easy setup process, with a wide range of features. However, it could improve in terms of agent communication and user experience. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint has a more challenging initial setup but excels in continuous monitoring, incident detection and response. It could benefit from improvements in areas such as GUI, integration, and support. Overall, Trellix may have an advantage in user-friendly setup and management, while Carbon Black stands out in threat detection and response capabilities.
"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."
"The solution was relatively easy to deploy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"The stability is very good."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The primary reason the solution is good is because of its ease-of-use."
"The product is quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the centralized console where everything can be controlled by the administration."
"Tech support is responsive. They're good, the very best."
"The central management console is powerful. You can manage endpoints, DLP, encryption, and all the other features from a single console."
"It has improved my organization because it helps with visibility, in terms of security. We can see the actual attack and can contain it. The antivirus can detect that."
"Trellix Endpoint Security's dashboard is very flexible, and I can create my own user-specific dashboard depending on user privilege or preference."
"The most valuable features are the prevention layer that detects the signature value and prevents threats in the network."
"It is stable and easy to set up."
"The best feature of this solution is that we have a live response, which is really tailored to our needs."
"The biggest feature out of CarbonBlack is its ability to dive in with more depth. You can look at the entire kill chain and understand, not only if an alarm or identified incident is truly a true security issue versus a false positive, and it allows us to backtrack and figure out why it actually happened and how it got into the environment."
"The whole purpose of the product, like application control, is very good, and also if you need to update some policies, it works well and instantly."
"It is a very complete platform."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the support it provides."
"The product allows us to focus on endpoint and antivirus protection."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"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."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"We don't like the solution since it requires much memory consumption and consumes much CPU resources."
"The solution needs to offer better local technical support."
"There are times the solution has some additional software added that is not fully integrated properly, such as Exchange Group Sheild. It is quite old and is not fully integrated properly and could be improved."
"Trying to move away from the signature model for antivirus and malware blocking is something that would be nice. Instead of having to update every day, which is signature-based, moving to more of a kernel or architecture-based model would probably be beneficial."
"Users can just install software into their computers. We need some sort of application control system that, if there are any pieces of software that are not whitelisted, then the solution could flag it or maybe alert the administers. That would be very helpful."
"The price of the solution is high in Asia."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"There could be more knowledge. I think they made a mistake when they took away the Check Point integration, because it provides more automation and also more threat intelligence."
"The solution has to mature on container security and a lot of cloud environment security."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"The local technical support is very poor, but the support from headquarters is very nice."
"The solution needs expanded endpoint query tools."
"The support is poor."
"It would be a better solution if Carbon Black Cb Defense had an on-promise solution and a virus auto delete or quarantine."
"Report generation can be improved."
