We compared CrowdStrike Falcon 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: Comparing CrowdStrike Falcon to VMware Carbon Black Endpoint, both have straightforward setup processes, although CrowdStrike Falcon is considered relatively more manageable. CrowdStrike Falcon offers comprehensive protection, ease of deployment, crowdsourced intelligence, and strong detection and prevention features. Users also find it easy and straightforward. However, it may require expertise and guidance during setup and lacks certain features like ransomware protection and additional antivirus functionality. On the other hand, VMware Carbon Black Endpoint also provides a straightforward setup process but might be challenging for users unfamiliar with Carbon Black. It offers continuous monitoring, threat detection and response, prevention of zero-day threats, extensive threat intel, and good integration capabilities. However, there are difficulties in making changes at the tenant level and GUI improvements are needed. Additionally, some users mention slower technical support as a drawback.
"We have FortiEDR installed on all our systems. This protects them from any threats."
"Impressive detection capabilities"
"Forensics is a valuable feature of Fortinet FortiEDR."
"he solution is an anti-malware product that integrates well with other vendor products such as firewalls, SIEM, etc. It captures threat intelligence and gives you better visibility. The product also has sandboxing features."
"Fortinet FortiEDR's firewalling, rule creation, monitoring, and inspection profiles are great."
"I get alerts when scripts are detected in the environment."
"Additionally, when it comes to EDR, there are more tools available to assist with client work."
"The console is easy to read. I also like the scanning part and the ability to move assets from one to the other."
"I like the vulnerability assessment and proactive hunting features of CrowdStrike Falcon."
"The solution has improved my organization by automating the detection and reporting of unwanted applications so we're aware of them and can respond appropriately."
"The feature that I find to be the most valuable, is being able to look at the system analysis and being able to baseline what is installed on the system."
"Everything is automatic. I install the sensor and renew the service. Periodically, I get a notice that they've shut something down."
"This solution consistently releases improvements. They have communicated their next two years of development which is powerful and covers all of our needs."
"I value the overall behavior analysis of CrowdStrike. The engine of this product is what drew us to this solution."
"The features I like the most are the response time and the dashboard are both excellent."
"The most valuable aspects of CrowdStrike Falcon for me are its device observability, identification, and software and OS recognition."
"It has the best live response feature."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup was straightforward."
"I feel that the initial setup was straightforward and not complex."
"The visibility provided has been great."

"Carbon Black has very good market strategies."
"The solution is stable."
"We find the solution to be a bit expensive."
"Detections could be improved."
"FortiEDR could add a separate scanning dashboard. In incident management, we prefer to remove the endpoint system from the environment and scan the system. We typically use Symantec for that, but if we want to use FortiEDR for that, then we need a scanning tab to clarify things."
"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"The solution is not user-friendly."
"ZTNA can improve latency."
"FortiEDR can be improved by providing more detailed reporting."
"The solution is not stable."
"CrowdStrike Falcon could improve the EDR functionality. Once the functionality of the solution improves, it will be even better in the market and able to compete with Carbon Black."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"Falcon could include more integrative features."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"They need to strengthen the forensic capabilities of this product, for e-discovery."
"The solution could improve by providing more types of reports because it's in the detection span you cannot re-export anything. If it could be exported to a CSV file directly there it would help a lot. I currently need to do this by API to get what I need."
"CrowdStrike should add support for ransomware protection."
"The product could be more accurate in terms of performance."
"Based on all the security roles and the release privilege, it could take time for an application to be whitelisted and approved for use."
"This product should be cheaper."
"The product's reporting capabilities are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Certain settings have limitations. For example, I cannot manually block some malware activities."
"The product's stability could be improved."
"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."
"Needs improvement in the area of infrastructure for on-premise installation."
"Adding an application and a device control feature would be a great help for this solution."
