We compared SentinelOne Singularity Complete 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: Based on the reviews, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for its easy setup process and user-friendly features, including agent deployment and AI capabilities. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint may require more knowledge and experience. Carbon Black's MDR capability stands out among its features. Both products have areas for improvement, with SentinelOne needing enhancements in user-friendliness and stability, and Carbon Black requiring better node management and troubleshooting capabilities. Pricing for SentinelOne is considered reasonable, while Carbon Black is seen as more expensive. Customer support for both products receives mixed reviews.
"It notifies us if there's any suspicious file on any PC. If any execution or similar kind of thing is happening, it just alerts us. It doesn't only alert. It also blocks the execution until we allow it. We check whether the execution is legitimate or not, and then approve it or keep it blocked. This gives us a little bit of control over this mechanism. Fortinet FortiEDR is also very straightforward and easy to maintain."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the ability to customize it and to reduce its size. It lets you run in a very small window in terms of memory and resources on legacy cash registers."
"The main thing is that I feel safe. Because the processes that have been used to get a handle on the attackers are much better than other competitors"
"This is stable and scalable."
"Ability to get forensics details and also memory exfiltration."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the analysis, because of the beta structure."
"The tool has helped us streamline and centralize things with a single solution. We are a small organization with a handful of people managing multiple sites. It is a simple tool with an easy-to-use UI. The product has an intuitive and up-to-date GUI."
"The solution offers very rich details surrounding threats or attacks."
"The solution can search for hidden and dormant threats on encrypted traffic in your environment."
"Our organizational risk has been reduced."
"The most valuable features of SentinelOne are the lateral movement and the use of the Active Directory."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"We collect a lot of telemetry from Singularity Complete."
"It has helped to reduce our organizational risks."
"I like its reporting."
"The new feature that we're deploying, the new offering from Carbon Black, is MDR, which stands for manage, detect, and response. It's the most valuable feature because Carbon Black will be continuously checking the logs, and they will be advising us on how to improve some of the policies as well as review the logs. If there are any nefarious agents or things happening on the end points, they will know."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"I found the offline scanning to be particularly useful."
"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"The solution is not stable."
"Everything with Fortinet having to do with their cloud services. They need to invest more in their internal infrastructure that they are running in the cloud. One of the things I find with their cloud environment compared to others' is that they go cheap on the equipment. So it causes some performance degradation."
"The EDR console should have more extensive reporting. You shouldn't need to purchase FortiAnalyzer. It should be included in the EDR part. The security adviser cloud platform could be improved with more options for exclusive or intensive rules for devices."
"We've encountered challenges during API deployment, occasionally resulting in unstable environments."
"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"
"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."
"Periodically we have an application that does not work correctly when SentinelOne is installed, yet performs as expected when SentinelOne is removed."
"It is an expensive product."
"The learning curve was a little steep."
"If it had a little bit more granularity in the roles and responsibilities matrix, that would help. There are users that have different components, but I'd be much happier if I could cherry-pick what functions I want to give to which users. That would be a huge benefit."
"Managing the alerts is a challenge. Singularity generates a lot of alerts and false positives."
"I don't like switching the way you switch from legacy to XDR."
"There is room for improvement with the management interface. It could be more user friendly."
"It has all the features that other leading products in the market provide. They should keep enhancing it based on the challenges in the market. I am fine with its detection capability, but they can work more on deep inspection."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The solution needs better overall compatibility with other products."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"The pricing could be more reasonable."
"In the past, we've seen some stability issues in the latest version releases. We tend to hang back one version just to make sure issues are fully resolved to avoid user disruption."
"The feature set for the firewall needs improvement."
"It could be a bit complicated. You have to be very familiar with Carbon Black to understand what it is doing and why it is doing. I would like to have more explanations and simplification in the user interface. It would be good to get help and see more explanations. It should tell us that a software is blocked and the reason for it. It would be good to be able to build chains in terms of what caused what, what worked, and what caused an issue. We are now moving from Carbon Black to Cortex XDR. While choosing antivirus software, we were also looking at Carbon Black because it also has an antivirus package, and it is next-generation, but we were told that Carbon Black doesn't support firewalls. We have Palo Alto firewalls. We would have chosen this solution if it supported firewalls, in particular next-generation firewalls, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Therefore, we decided on Cortex XDR because it integrates with Palo Alto firewalls."
"Report generation can be improved."
