3 Reasons Why Teams
Trust SentinelOne Vs. Carbon Black

Performance

That’s Tried and Trusted

You rely on your endpoint security solution to have your back when it matters most. In the 2020 MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK® evaluation, SentinelOne was the only EDR vendor to achieve 100% visibility of every attacker step—zero missed detections, zero delays, zero configuration changes. VMware Carbon Black left behind gaps in coverage, producing 89% visibility with 20 misses and 10 delayed detections.

SentinelOne is also an enabler of your business, not a hindrance: 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.

One Platform

Designed to Maximize 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 attack reconstruction using Storyline™ technology, and 1-click or auto-remediation & rollback. Endpoints are equipped with static and behavioral AI to make decisions and act in real time. Our customers see an average of 353% ROI according to Forrester’s Total Economic Impact report.

VMware Carbon Black, in contrast, delays your responsiveness to malicious activity by requiring extensive tuning & configuration across multiple consoles and agents, overly complex queries for threat hunting, heavy manual correlation of 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This outdated approach leaves behind gaps in your coverage and visibility, increasing potential dwell time and exposure to zero-day threats.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: Limited signatures and rules
    		•
  • Comprehensive cloud workload security: Protects cloud VMs, Docker, and Kubernetes; supports 3x as many Linux distributions with Dev-Ops friendly agent (operates in user space)
    		•
  • Limited, unstable protection: Focuses primarily on vSphere integration, supports fewer Linux distros with sensor that runs as a kernel module
    		•
  • 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 storage, Windows OS
    		•
  • No firewall control
    		•

    Automation & Recovery

  • Real-time, machine-powered attack reconstruction: Events are automatically reconstructed into an easily navigable Storyline, 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, complex query languages
    		•
  • 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
    		•
  • Data retention limited to 180 days : Customers report frequent outages & API data restrictions
    		•

    Value-Adding Services

  • Global portfolio of support & managed security services: Includes 24x7 Vigilance Respond MDR & Vigilance Respond Pro MDR+DFIR staffed by in-house experts, operations span North American, EMEA, and APAC regions
    		•
  • Outsourced approach to basic MDR: Alert management and triage conducted by Red Canary from single SOC in Boulder, CO, no incident response capabilities
    		•
