3 Reasons Why Teams
Trust SentinelOne Vs. Carbon Black

Performance

You Can Trust

You rely on your EPP & EDR solution to have your back when it matters most. In the 2020 MITRE ATT&CK® evaluation, SentinelOne correlated twice as many attacker techniques and missed 5x fewer detections as VMware Carbon Black.

On top of delivering superior detection & response, SentinelOne enables your business instead of hindering it: VMware customers report higher false positive rates that require time-consuming investigation, and console crashes that result in telemetry data loss, preventing effective threat hunting and incident response.

Solutions Designed

to Make the Most of Your Time

In today’s threat landscape, every second counts. SentinelOne makes it easy for any team to get started and become experts with a single, fast-to-deploy agent, automatic reconstruction of attack Storylines™, and 1-click remediation & rollback.

Don’t just take it from us: Learn how SentinelOne customers see an average of 353% ROI in Forrester’s Total Economic Impact report, and hear from our customers why they choose us for endpoint security.

VMware Carbon Black, in contrast, requires extensive tuning & configuration (especially as your organization scales), overly complex queries for threat hunting, significant manual correlation of disconnected alerts, and manual re-imaging for “remediation.”

Protection from What You Know,

and What You Don’t

Prevention and detection solutions that focus on “known bad” only see half the picture. While SentinelOne leverages both static and behavioral AI engines to detect anomalous activity & modern attacks with or without cloud connectivity, VMware Carbon Black depends heavily on cloud access and file signatures sourced from third parties to identify attacks.

This outdated approach leaves behind gaps in your coverage and visibility, increasing potential dwell time and exposure to zero-day threats.

Comparing SentinelOne vs. Carbon Black

Platform Capabilities

Feature parity across operating systems: Includes legacy and modern versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux	Reduced feature set for macOS and Linux
Comprehensive cloud workload security: Protects cloud VMs, Docker containers, and Kubernetes clusters, supports 3x as many Linux distributions	Limited protection: Focuses primarily on vSphere integration, supports fewer Linux distros
Cloud connectivity optional: Best-in-class EPP + EDR, even when offline	Cloud-dependent: Detections and convictions rely heavily on cloud access
USB & Bluetooth Device Control and Firewall Control: Available across all platforms	Device control limited to USB, Windows OS
	No firewall control

Automation & Recovery

Real-time, machine-powered attack reconstruction: Events are automatically reconstructed into easily navigable Storylines™, focused & contextualized alerts for analysts means faster MTTR	Disconnected security events resulting in alert fatigue: Requires heavy manual correlation & reconstruction, as noted in the MITRE evaluation
Fully automated recovery: Autonomous & 1-click remediation and patented rollback	Manual, scripted “remediation”: Just restores endpoints to pre-infected state

EDR Quality & Coverage

Static & behavioral AI-driven detection: Equipped to handle unknown threats and modern TTPs, including fileless and in-memory attacks	Traditional, signature-based approach: Misses fileless, advanced attacks, rudimentary AI capabilities
MITRE ATT&CK mapping: Integrates with MITRE Framework for easier, more intuitive investigation	No MITRE ATT&CK Framework mapping
Fewest misses, richest detections in 2020 MITRE ATT&CK® evaluation: SentinelOne outperformed VMware Carbon Black, correlating twice as many techniques and producing 1/5th as many misses	Half as many correlated techniques, 5x more misses: Carbon Black missed 47 detections (among the most misses of the vendors evaluated)
Accessible upgrades up to 365 days for EDR data retention	Substantial cost for “Flexible” retention over 6 months: Customers report frequent outages & API data restrictions

Value-Adding Services

Comprehensive portfolio of support & managed security services: Includes Vigilance Respond MDR & Vigilance Respond Pro MDR+DFIR staffed by in-house experts	Single managed detection offering: Primarily for alert management and triage, no incident response capabilities
Globally accessible MDR, 24/7: Operations span North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific regions	Limited operations: Single SOC based in Boulder, CO

“SentinelOne was playing against some very well established players in the field, and it was a lot more compelling than what the rest was bringing to the table.”
