Description

Carbon Black empowers top security teams to close the Risk Gap they face today. Specific directed attacks are now the cybercrime norm, and no business is exempt. There’s increasing cyber-insurance scrutiny, and government regulations continue to get stricter. In this context, security teams can no longer rely on general security platforms alone. Rather, teams must be empowered with deeper visibility and more control in order to tailor response to their unique environment. With Carbon Black, security teams have unprecedented ability to see directed attacks, contain potential impact, change policies with no user interruption, prevent repeat incidents, and measure what they stopped.

What do you like best about Carbon Black App Control?

The best part of the CB-EP tool is that it works! Using CB-EP we have reduced workstation re-stages from thousands a month to under 100. Our "category A" virus infections are below 15 each month, and only seen on systems outside of high enforcement. We are blocking hundreds of malicious files each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black App Control?

The biggest dislike is that competitors to CB try to pitch whitelisting technology that is years behind in capabilities and lacking in features. Management sees this as redundant technology when they talk with the competitors sales staff. The CB-EP tool is in a league of its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black App Control:

You will need to change your company culture, but in the end it is worth the effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black App Control solving and how is that benefiting you?

CB-EP is the primary endpoint protection tool we have. We have this on 75,000 endpoints with 95% in high enforcement. Without CB-EP we would be re-active vs. being pro-active in preventing threats in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Carbon Black Cloud?

Great and highly engaged team during implementation and evaluation. Worked with us to address questions/concerns. Very hands on for usage instruction. Support team is great (very responsive, tries best to get a good resolution), however starting to get more into the point to documentation style rather than providing solid responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black Cloud?

Support is starting to migrate to a point to the documentation style. Platform also has started seeing some operational / stability problems. Slow dashboards, slow notifications, etc. All issues have been reported, but they have been recurring more frequently of late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Carbon Black Cloud:

Be sure that it provides sufficient visibility. We selected the solution because of the simple deployment and easy operation, but it does lack some of the granular hunting/investigation tooling that other tools are. Be certain on what you are hoping to get out of the solution. It is not a true EDR platform, but is a nice mix between EPP and EDR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Carbon Black Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy to manage, next gen protection against malware and other security based attacks. It is definitely easy to manage, and protection is decent. Visibility into investigation on alerts could be a bit better, but is better than traditional AV solutions by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Carbon Black EDR?

in theory it should work great. It seems to be a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black EDR?

their updates that they push out, don't seem to be thoroughly tested as they have recalled them a few times.

We lost the ability to sandbox an infected endpoint because the update they pushed out broke our servers so we had to dial back. They have not been able to fix that yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest problem seems to be that the complexity of the inner workings makes it very difficult to identify the root cause of an issue, which I think has in turn made the whole thing a bit temperamental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
