We performed a comparison between Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) 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."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 ease of deployment and configuration is valuable. It's very easy compared to other vendors like Sophos. Sophos' configuration is complex. Fortinet is a lot easier to understand. You don't need a lot of admin knowledge to do the configuration."
"The product detects and blocks threats and is more proactive than firewalls."
"The stability is very good."
"This is stable and scalable."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"The setup is not that complex. It takes five to ten minutes to set up."
"It's a stable solution with good performance."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint is stable."
"The seamless deployment is very valuable."
"The most valuable features of McAfee MVISION Endpoint are advanced threat protection, web filtering, and removable storage devices in the DLP."
"MVISION Endpoint is so much easier and so much simpler for the lay security personnel to handle."
"MVISION offers decent protection."
"FireEye Endpoint Security is easy to use and lightweight compared to others."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I like its protection very much. It protects and allows us to lock the environment pretty tightly. Nothing that is not approved through Carbon Black can run in the environment. There is no default. Everything goes through Carbon Black Protect, and everything has to be first approved. Every software is considered to be guilty before prove innocent."
"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."
"This product has the capability of uploading scripts to the tool and this is a very comprehensive feature."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The most valuable asset is the time-lining capability for any breach activity."
"Provides visibility into the chain of attack and threats that use valid operating system processes to execute attacks."
"The feature I found most valuable in Carbon Black CB Defense is the ongoing monitoring feature that works by emailing updates about any detections found."
"Detections could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"We've had a lot of false positives; things incorrectly flagged that require manual configuration to allow. Even worse, after we allow a legitimate program, it sometimes gets flagged again after an update. This has caused a lot of extra work for my team."
"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."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"The dashboard isn't easy to access and manage."
"The support needs improvement."
"From an improvement perspective, I want everything in the solution to be free."
"The central monitoring dashboard needs improvement."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
"I hope the solution can be used in cloud systems going forward."
"Intrusion detection and intervention seem to be falling behind the competition."
"One suggestion is they should reduce the constant notifications. Whenever I open my laptop, there are too many notifications from McAfee, and it gets annoying."
"McAfee MVISION Endpoint could improve by an overall simplification of the solution."
"The initial setup can be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with the product."
"Performing a malware scan usually takes a lot of time, more than 24 hours."
"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."
"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."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
