We performed a comparison between Darktrace and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, TitanHQ and others in Email Security."The initial setup was easy."
"The risk level notifications are most valuable. We get to know what kind of intrusion or attack is there, and we can fix a problem on time."
"Defender for 365 is a comprehensive cloud-based solution. The value of the cloud is that you aren't alone. Threat intelligence and analytics are shared in the cloud. We don't have to find the solution alone. If you face an unknown threat with traditional solutions like Trend Micro and Symantec, you need to open a case and send your information to them to analyze forensically and identify the source of the attack."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just add the license, click it, and then you can set up the rules. It is quite simple."
"The deployment capability is a great feature."
"Safe attachments, safe links, policies, and the ability to protect from zero-day threats are the most valuable features."
"There are several features that I consider valuable."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365's most valuable feature is its performance."
"It's a very stable product."
"We have found the product to be stable and issue-free."
"The most valuable features of Darktrace are its full capabilities. You have visibility of everything."
"It is a very simple product to use."
"In terms of features, the data or information they collect and unsupervised machine learning are very valuable. Its unsupervised machine learning has reduced our team's effort. Both Darktrace and Vectra work on unsupervised machine learning that learns the behavior or develops a profile on its own, which allows our security team to do some other tasks rather than spending time on Darktrace or Vectra. Because of unsupervised machine learning, its detection capability is quite good. Along with that, if we utilize the integration feature properly, the automated incident response capability of Darktrace is quite useful."
"Artificial intelligence and machine learning functionalities are valuable."
"We liked their approach to identifying intrusions or network anomalies using AI."
"I particularly like Antigena and the analytics around the real-time monitoring of our network. I also like its reporting because it has got a seven-day reporting period within the system. Every time you run the reports, it gives you the data about the previous seven days. I like that because it is in real-time. I enjoy reading those reports and getting a very clear and decisive idea of what's happening on my network on a real-time basis. I like the actual real-time monitoring of spoofing and things like that. I also like the user monitoring as well as the network logging capabilities."
"Once the solution is installed and configured correctly it does not require a lot of hands-on attention until you need upgrading."
"Carbon Black Defense has a higher detection ratio because it's cloud-based and it also does a lookup to virus total."
"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."
"CB Defense is more powerful, and you can take more actions than others. Its security features and signatures are constantly updated, so it is more effective than other security solutions."
"One of the most valuable features is that it will block vulnerable sites. If there was a connection between one of our devices to a known malware site, it will block it."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution has a very nice API on the back end for remoting into a system and executing scripts or utilizing self automation."
"The offline networking is the most important feature. Some of our users are engineers that work offsite, and they can still be on the solution, which is also great."
"One area for improvement is integration. For example, when it comes to external SaaS platforms, we were not able to get a lot of information on integrations with such apps for security and authentication."
"The company should focus on adding threats that the solution is currently unable to detect."
"There is room for improvement in terms of reporting."
"Microsoft Defender for Office 365 could improve by giving customers information on techniques to prevent threats. For example, information about best practices on how to protect their own devices against hackers and scammers, such as educational information or training. This would help others have a better understanding of cyber security. Additionally, there can be more security features added."
"Microsoft security solutions work as expected. They are constantly updating the solutions to make them better. At the same time, the changes can impact a customer's environment, and we need to adjust settings. Sometimes we aren't aware of the changes, and nothing is pushed from the backend automatically."
"In one of the reports I can get the exact place where a vulnerable file resides. But for that, I need to explicitly go into the device and check. If they could include that file part in the report, without my having to go to the device itself, that would help."
"The custom alerts have to improve a lot."
"Microsoft sometimes has downtime, and we'll get several incidents coming in back to back. We have a huge backlog of notifications, many of which may be false positives. However, there might be serious alerts, so we can't risk dismissing all of them at once."
"I would like to see some additional enhancements."
"The level of tracking within the network from the transmission level up to the machine level can use improvement."
"The pricing model is a little too high and could be more flexible."
"Needs to improve its collaboration with local partners."
"I did not use the AI features because they should make it more user-friendly which would be a benefit. Additionally, the solution could integrate with more SIEM or SOAR tools."
"I would like for the product to work on the endpoints as well. I would like to see enhanced visibility into the endpoints and network but this solution only sits on the network itself."
"Darktrace does not have any capabilities to configure."
"The cost is a bit on the higher side."
"The UI interface needs improvement. The management needs further work in future versions."
"The solution would be more effective if there was a way to block automatically based on behavior."
"They will most likely need to create or include a feature that checks the network."
"Right now, Carbon Black CB Defense doesn't support cloud computing and Kubernetes."
"Its compatibility can be improved. It did crash a server during deployment, which is not something that I want to happen. Its deployment should also be easier. The whole deployment cycle needs to be simplified. It is an enterprise solution, and to set it up right now, you have to be an expert."
"In our company, we also wanted to have network detection, like a host-based IDS on VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, but we did not get it."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I'm not sure as to the logic of how we've decided to customize it. We've only really used it since February and therefore there may be more to do on that front. That's why it's hard to say if something is missing or if we just aren't utilizing it."
