Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important feature we've found is the Enscripts. That is one powerful feature that I, personally, love to use.""I like the processing feature on the product because it does everything at once, i.e, indexing, recovery, keyword searches, etc.""The technical support is excellent.""It indexes much faster, and is more reflexive because of the Enscripts.""Data Recovery: Its ability to repair damaged partitions and uncover hidden partitions from within the tool, and allow further analysis.""The solution is very stable.""It speeds up the process, so I can meet my deadlines."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market.""The solution is very useful and easy to handle. You don't need much intervention with this product.""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.""VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is a highly stable solution.""The product enables device controls, helping us protect the devices and prevent data leakages.""Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation.""The solution has a library where we can have multiple threat intels onboarded. We just have to subscribe to a particular site intel and they'll provide us with all of the truncated details so that we can create IOCs and alerts on the basis of those IOCs.""The product is pretty strong in terms of security and their features are very good in that respect."

Cons
"There were minor UI bugs.""In the past, incident response time for tech support was slow.""The reporting is a bit unreliable. It needs to be better.""Ease of use and learning curve need improvement.""​Sometimes the application can take more time to complete the image processing or fail at the end of the process.​""We have come across problems with the end-case. We could not find an email discovery type of module and there was not flexibility with the email.""I would like to see a capability to ingest and absorb more data. That would be really good. It currently is lacking this function."

More OpenText EnCase eDiscovery Cons →

"This solution could have greater granular control on how certain applications work.""The EDR portion could be better. I'm not a big fan, but it works.""Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours.""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.""There is room for improvement in the support and service team.""Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use.""The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well.""It would be nice to have additional forensic tools that you can build into the back end."

  • "​The cost/benefit factor has great relevance in Cb Defense implementations​."
  • "The cost is a considerable factor, but the benefit factor is the most important. When you compare it with other products, the price is high. Carbon Black will negotiate the price."
  • "I am not really involved in the pricing of this product. But, from my understanding, it is OK for us."
  • "Carbon Black might be a touch more expensive than Symantec. They tend to get a premium for their capabilities. They're sort of an industry leader in a lot of areas with the functionality that they provide."
  • "We have branches, we have different companies, but we cannot buy less than 100 licenses. This does not make sense to me... It should be more flexible. I can understand their saying, "Okay, to be a customer you need 100," but to add on to that number it should be something very straightforward. If I need to add five, for example, I shouldn't need to add 100."
  • "The pricing [is] more or less the same as other similar solutions."
  • "It's reasonable in price"
  • "The price for the solution is completely at government level, meaning one which is very high."
