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.
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"Fortinet has helped free up around 20 percent of our staff's time to help us out."
"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 setup is pretty simple."
"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."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of Fortinet FortiEDR was straightforward."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
"Their malware detection rate is excellent for all type of devices and the anti-theft products are good and easy to use."
"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."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The product’s stability and security features enhance user protection and organizational security."
"It can be deployed quickly, and it's scalable. Those are the two advantages of it."
"VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly stable solution."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"There's lots of very useful documentation online to help troubleshoot and learn about the product."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I like its reporting."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"Once, we had an event that was locked and blocked, but information about it came to us two or three days later."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The support needs improvement."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"It takes about two business days for initial support, which is too slow in urgent situations."
"Integration with Azure and SaaS provisioning tools could improve Fortinet FortiEDR."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"The vendor should simplify the way they bundle the products because it's very hard to explain to customers what products contain which features."
"The initial setup is complex. It is a very complex product. You must have experience with it."
"I've encountered minor challenges related to encryption."
"McAfee GW Security and McAfee Child Safety need some improvement as they are relatively new."
"Every time we open a ticket with McAfee, their response differs and they are not consistent."
"Some agents become old and then they don't communicate well any longer."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"What was rolled out to my company are mixed versions of Carbon Black CB Defense, so what I'd like to see in the next release is more synchronization, where it can detect the endpoint that's running an old version and suggest updates."
"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."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"A search bar in the investigation page and some AI-related tasks like outgoing alerts, or recent tactics that are being used in the market, must be embedded in the tool so that it's easier to find alerts."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"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."
"There are many different controls that are needed to be put into place for upgrading that makes it difficult. Having to re-engineer your IT infrastructure to match their software, as opposed to having it integrate and work independently causes difficulties. When there is an update to any software everyone has to be involved."
