"It works as advertised"
4/5
What do you like best about Carbon Black App Control?

The customization that can be added to the product allow it to be extremely flexible. It can be deployed to anyone from your administrative staff to software developers. The product also has self-updating features, where rules are automatically added so applications that have their own auto-update can do so successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black App Control?

Infrastructure requirements are very heavy for large companies. The push is for large environments to be on physical hardware, but most large companies utilize some sort of virtual hardware. The product does not currently scale well for large organizations that have diverse support structures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Product for Control of Your Environment"
4/5
What do you like best about Carbon Black App Control?

This product really works. It analyzes everything being installed or executed. Even script files. It will stop anything malicious. There are many filters for events and you can group by many parameters. Create as many policies as you want for "special attention" computers. Get alerts in your mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Carbon Black App Control?

It is easy to be overwhelmed by the volume of information available. Everybody's environment is different so take you time learning what is normal in yours before you tighten up the policies that block execution. Roll it out slowly so you are not flooded with requests for approval. Have well-thought out processes in place for managing approval requests. Some selections are not "sticky" so going back to previous pages you have to re-filter and that is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
