We compared Intercept X Endpoint 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: Sophos Intercept X Endpoint is highly regarded for its versatile functionality, effective threat protection, and dependable performance. However, it could benefit from improvements in installation speed, software size, and resource consumption. On the other hand, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is highly valued for its MDR feature, integration capabilities, and stability. However, it could improve in areas such as node management, GUI, and AI capabilities. Pricing-wise, opinions on Intercept X Endpoint vary, while VMware Carbon Black Endpoint is considered costly. Customer support for both products receives mixed reactions.
"It is very easy to set up. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a ten out of ten, with ten being very easy to set up."
"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"
"Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"NGAV and EDR features are outstanding."
"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."
"This is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that it literally works. We have reduced a lot of complaints after switching to Sophos."
"Sophos Intercept X is easy to install and has a lower price than similar solutions."
"It does its job — it protects us from viruses. We don't really interact with it very much."
"I am impressed with the tool's common dashboard feature. The solution is also easy to deploy and manage. Reporting is also easy with the software."
"One of the best features of Sophos Intercept is that it repairs without slowing down the system."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The solution has very good usability."
"It's quite simple to use and user friendly."
"The tool is pretty stable."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to be fully integrated with the VMware environment."
"The visibility provided has been great."
"It has intelligent learning behind it and we have been very successful in preventing attacks."
"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."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense improved our endpoint level security. It helped to identify endpoint and infrastructure loopholes."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The solution is not stable."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Through Sophos Central I would like to see the ability to zero in and produce a report about the challenges being faced by a particular machine and user, to know if a virus is appearing only on that specific machine or also on others."
"Better protection in the endpoint, server, and mobile is needed."
"The deployment part needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial if you could expand support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without charging an additional fee."
"If we can lower the price, it will be fantastic because it will generate more revenue for us."
"I would like to see better support for virtual and desktop infrastructures."
"We would like to deploy across a variety of machines simultaneously through the network."
"The product’s DDoS and AI features must be improved."
"I am not sure whether Carbon Black CB Defense can be considered as a stable solution or not."
"Integration is difficult, but CB Defense is more powerful than others. It is difficult to implement but easy to pick up many detections."
"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."
"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 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."
"There's some disparity between the on-premise and the cloud type of application."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
