We compared SentinelOne Singularity Complete and VMware Carbon Black Endpoint based on our users reviews in five parameters. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Based on the reviews, SentinelOne Singularity Complete is praised for its easy setup process and user-friendly features, including agent deployment and AI capabilities. In contrast, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint may require more knowledge and experience. Carbon Black's MDR capability stands out among its features. Both products have areas for improvement, with SentinelOne needing enhancements in user-friendliness and stability, and Carbon Black requiring better node management and troubleshooting capabilities. Pricing for SentinelOne is considered reasonable, while Carbon Black is seen as more expensive. Customer support for both products receives mixed reviews.
"Exceptions are easy to create and the interface is easy to follow with a nice appearance."
"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 console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"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."
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"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."
"I like FortiClient EMS. FortiEDR has a lot of great features like lockdown mode, remote wipes, and encryption. I can set malware outbreak policies and controls for detecting abnormalities. You can also simulate phishing attacks."
"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 process visualization, automated response, and snapshotting are valuable. The integration and automation possibilities are also valuable."
"Singularity has the same features as other antivirus products, but it provides an added layer of security and vulnerability protection. It's also light on resources. Singularity doesn't use a lot of CPU or memory."
"Offers good protection against ransomware."
"It is easy to collect and retain logs with SentinelOne."
"Deep Visibility is a valuable feature."
"The ability to quickly and easily identify threats on our machines is valuable. The fact that it protects the environment as a whole is also valuable. They have the ability to identify network nodes, and they have Ranger as a component of the solution that allows us to see the whole picture. We can see on what we have SentinelOne and on what we do not."
"Being able to keep track of the endpoints and the data that is available from the endpoints is valuable. We can see the patch levels, whether Windows endpoints are active or inactive, and who is the last user that was logged on. We get a lot of granular information that is valuable even what we are not talking from a security standpoint."
"It is a robust solution. It provides great visibility."
"I found it very valuable as a whole. It is good at detecting anything and has kept us very safe. It is also very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is one of the best EDR tools in the market."
"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."
"What I like the most about it is the dynamic grouping, where you get to group endpoints based on setup criteria. That's pretty cool. I like the simplified policy management and simplified white-listing process."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of VMware Carbon Black Endpoint was easy."
"Carbon Black Cb Defense has a nice component called Alert Triage. It contains full details of the process execution "kill chain" and "go live" for immediate remediation."
"I rate Carbon Black CB Defense an eight out of ten for the ease of its initial setup."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The SIEM could be improved."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"There's room for improvement in the quick response time and technical support for integration issues, especially when dealing with multiple vendors."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"I think cloud security and SASE are areas of concern in the product where improvements are required. The tool's cloud version has to be improved in terms of the security it offers."
"I haven't seen the use of AI in the solution."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"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."
"Some of the reports that are exported through SentinelOne can be complicated for people who are not IT professionals. For example, we have some people within our leadership who would like to know why we are spending so much money on their product, and one of the ways that we are able to do that is through reports. Some of those reports are pretty easy to understand, and some of them are very complicated. Because they are not IT or security professionals, they may not have the same grasp. I wish their reporting feature was a little better."
"Managing the alerts is a challenge. Singularity generates a lot of alerts and false positives."
"I encountered issues running Singularity Complete alongside other machine-learning tools."
"I would appreciate it if they would consider providing a comprehensive vulnerability assessment report that goes beyond just application vulnerabilities."
"The grouping feature needs improvement."
"The false positive rate has room for improvement."
"The anti-ransomware technology takes up a lot of disc space."
"The SentinelOne portal is not user-friendly, which is one of its drawbacks."
"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."
"When you view the triage, it will show you everything within a given time frame, and not only the attack that caused the alert, which is what I want to see. It shows you all the events during that time, and that can be quite confusing."
"The directions for Splunk are spot on, but it is difficult to find anything on integration with AlienVault,"
"The node management could be much better. The one thing that they cannot do very easily is change the tenant from a backend."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"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 product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sensor deployment requires extensive fine-tuning, and creating deployment packages is time-consuming."
