It is easy to deploy to hundreds of hosts, little to no compatibility issues with other software. Intelligence feeds which are one of the best in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Issues that arise usually take more then usual to get fixed. I feel that CB should perform more testing in a testing environment before rolling out major updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of whitelisting apps and the ability to only allow trusted programs to run is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice if this solution was offered as a SaaS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With Carbon Black on our endpoints, we were able to detect and block bit coin mining software that wasn't even detected my our AV software. Using a score from Virus Total threat feed, Carbon Black alerted us of the malware. Carbon Black showed us in detail how the exe was spawned, which processes were involved and that it was communicating to an external IP address. Through the carbon black console, we were able to connect to the machine and delete the exe. Then we set the file (hash) to be banned, this way any endpoints in the future would not be able to run this process, keeping our Enterprise free of these resource stealing bit mining. This is just one real world example of how Carbon Black has paid for itself in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isnt too much to dislike but if I had to pick it would probably be the console, it could be a little more user intuitive but we are sending our CB data to Splunk, so we use the console minimally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like to see better search result display options thT can be useful when hunting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Carbon Black Enterprise Response provides awesome visibility into your endpoints. Being able to view the process chain of an attack is very useful in learning how the attacks work, preventing them from happening again and educating our users. Very easy to deploy agents and start gathering useful data. Lots of great intelligence feeds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have had some issues with re-occurring alerts even after i have mark them as as Resolved or Resolved False Positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Carbon Black Enterprise Protection works exactly as advertised. Whether it’s malicious software or just unwanted software Carbon Black Enterprise protection stops it all while allowing what we want. We see the benefits daily. Since being in High Enforcement we have seen numerous cases of Ransom-ware stopped, along with tons of unwanted software from being installed. I wear many hats in my role and work with many technologies, and no company I work with offers the quality of services that Carbon Black does. Their Training, Planning and Implementation Services, Support, User Community, and Tech Assessments ensure customer success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have a handful of 3rd party unknown, unsigned software packages that can be tricky to keep running seamlessly to the end user. Especially when these packages auto update themselves. You really need to have a good understanding of these packages to be able to create the rules needed to allow them to function. Bit9 Support is great on helping you out with these rare cases.

Deep intelligence looking at both threats from the cloud (external connectors) and simple file based looks and reputation.
With traditional AV, you have signatures and other outdated technology. With Carbon Black Enterprise Protection, you can see not only what is suspected, but also what files appeared in the timeframe. You can also block certain files, get notifications, prevent users from installing certain programs and the like. Instead of a clunky engine that just scans all day long, you get information you can actually use both for preventing malware/viruses/worms, but also tracking user behaviors and other important information.

This isn't a "install and walk away" product. There is a lot of setup. I don't like this in the sense that I don't have a ton of time to set it up. However I will say that the more time you put into it, the more time you will ultimately save. Just be aware there is a significant investment up front that needs to happen to see gains. Else you are wasting your time.
Also, as of time of writing I'm not able to push the agents out from the console, which is annoying as I have to be at the station to install it, or use other installation tools.
You also need to change your mindset regarding how this works as compared to traditional AV, and doesn't register in Windows as an "Antivirus" product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I appreciate that CB takes the time to walk us through the deployment but then continue to follow up with us on any concerns/issues we might have as we go from walking to running. We've had some issues with our server and every time CB has been able to resolve it quickly and professionally. That says volumes about their capabilities and belief in their product.

There's quite a bit of functionality in the API that I hope moves into the product itself in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
