We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"The most valuable features are the threat-hunting and the batch console." "They're highly stable in comparison with other solutions I have." "Carbon Black insures the probability that any ransomware will be stopped before spreading." "Integration and scalability are the most valuable." "The market information they gather from the community is really good. Their configuration capabilities are good." "The most valuable feature is its ability to seek out abnormal activity and to create alerts." "The detection response and quarantining are very good features." | "It has also improved our hunt ability with quick search tools, to zone in on malware or other anomalies. It is able to link items to incidents from other consoles, and works natively with the SIEM." "It has a rating system now so you can rate things up or down, depending on your environment. This means alerting can be customized, yet still pick up anomalies." "Reporting is great, it is easy to do a quick search through 45 days of data for something of interest." "After rack and stack, devices were up and running base configurations within two hours. As with any IPS, tuning is required to stop false positives. This is no different, but the ease of use of the interface allowed my team to start making adjustments within a few hours." "The initial setup is very straightforward. The deployment of the server doesn't take so long; about a day or two max." "What I like the most about this solution is the complexity. It covers a lot of areas, unlike other solutions." |
Cons | |
"They need to improve the batch console. It needs more capabilities. We are limited by the ones it provides..." "The dashboard should be more user-friendly." "The cloud console has a lot of bugs and issues in the analysis part." "It's not simple." "They have different products, but if we wanted to take their protection and their EPR, then we would need to have two agents" "It's not highly available, so you have to have a core server. If the primary server goes down, you need a new one. It's not available at the same time, however. It's not automatically swapped from one server to another." "The product detects too many false positives initially and it could integrate better with other security solutions." | "The interface bug needs to be squashed once and for all. This has been the predominant issue with an otherwise stellar product. It reboots itself unscheduled, about once a month, due to a memory buffer flaw in the interface." "We position the solution as an antivirus, but this part of the solution needs improvement. They need to generally enhance the features that they have, rather than adding anything new." "The reports in the endpoint area of Elevate can be improved." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | "You license by the number of days of logs you need to maintain visibility for. Forty-five days is a good solid number for a company with around a 10k user base." "It's quite expensive but we can customize it to reduce the price." |
