    Carbon Black was an effective system for automatic remediation. It was difficult to utilize regularly, however, and did give a number of false positive in our usage. However, it was integral and exceedingly important and performed as it was designed to. The user interface was not terribly intuitive, and while abundant technical information was available regarding the threats we were experiencing and remediating, the surface-level pane contained more information than was pragmatic given a large number of safeguarded systems and too few specialists.

    This program works from the roots of the problem and creates a professional matrix for each of its users. This will give them more skills and resources to carry out tasks and reduce the difficulties of operating each of the processes of my work, as well as being An ally for the manipulation and operability of all your master data; Prometheus is very easy to recommend since it is a program that fulfills its mission.

    • Customer Service: since this is an open-source tool, customer service is not that great. Generally, you get all answers to your problems in online forums, but in case you got stuck, nobody will assist you in a channelised manner. You will have to find the way out on your own, and it may become frustrating at times.
    • More metrics for dashboards shall be added per the application being monitored. Standards metrics will work in most cases but may not in specific applications. Therefore, customised metrics shall be created for some of the industry-standard niche applications.

    Usability
    Broadcom
    The interface is crowded and overly technical, and took intensive learning efforts to understand and use granularly, effectively. We enjoyed using the product, but did not see a clear advantage in this area to competitors--most platforms work the same way and have a similar structure. Its threat detection capability was strong

    It is usable and one can learn if few people in the team are already using it. It can be difficult to understand at the beginning because of non intuitive UI and syntax of the rules. So, I've gone for 7 points as there is some room for improvement in user interface and rules syntax.

    Highly customized pricing plans to choose from. Lower pricing for the same features compared to competitors. Easy to reach the support team, which provided detailed documentation and helped set up the Prometheus. Monitoring metrics gets very easy after the integration with Grafana. It also has a sophisticated alert setting mechanism to ensure we don't miss anything critical.

    • We are still working on the ROI
    • The ROI mentioned during the purchase has not been achieved, however this could be due to lack of data from our side. 2 years of implementation is too early to calculate and confirm the ROI.
