We performed a comparison between Sophos EPP Suite and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fortinet FortiEDR's scalability is quite good, and you can add licenses to the solution."
"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 price is low and quite competitive with others."
"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."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"It is a scalable platform."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Great cloud management."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have."
"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."
"For Carbon Black Endpoint, the possibility of integration with different other software's log servers is the important thing. Having just one point of view is more interesting so you don't need to go to different places to see all the information."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"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 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."
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"The software uses very few resources; it is almost invisible to the end user."
"The most valuable feature is that it detects and stops malicious executables."
"It has the best live response feature."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"Detections could be improved."
"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."
"Making the portal mobile friendly would be helpful when I am out of office."
"The only minor concern is occasional interference with desired programs."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"Cannot be used on mobile devices with a secure connection."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The solution could be more stable."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"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."
"Carbon Black needs to do a better job of proving their platform in the industry, and providing a bit more access to do industry testing with real world examples to help prove their platform."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"At this point, we're test-bedding several other providers right now to see if there's anything that does equally or better and that comes at a better price point."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"The device control feature could also be compatible with the user’s profile as well."
"It is difficult to extract reports for ongoing scans"
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
