The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Euna Solutions the suite is assembled from six or more separate acquisitions and integration between modules is still being completed, so a buyer purchasing two modules should ask precisely what data passes between them today rather than on the roadmap.; VMware Carbon Black broadcom's enterprise model concentrates direct sales and support on its largest accounts and moves everyone else to resellers, so a mid-size customer can lose named support contacts and face a substantially repriced renewal with limited notice.
  • They diverge on capability: Euna Solutions covers Euna Budget, VMware Carbon Black covers Endpoint Standard.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Euna Solutions

  • The suite is assembled from six or more separate acquisitions and integration between modules is still being completed, so a buyer purchasing two modules should ask precisely what data passes between them today rather than on the roadmap.
  • No pricing is published at any level and terms are typically multi-year, so budgeting the true cost requires obtaining peer jurisdiction contracts, which is possible but slow.
  • Individual modules face specialists with deeper functionality, so a jurisdiction buying only procurement or only budgeting may get less capability than from a single-product vendor at similar cost.
  • Ownership has changed twice in six years, from a SPAC to private equity, and further change is plausible, which creates roadmap uncertainty over the length of a typical multi-year public sector contract.
  • Grant management depth is oriented to United States federal and state programmes, which makes the product close to useless to public bodies outside that funding system.

VMware Carbon Black

  • Broadcom's enterprise model concentrates direct sales and support on its largest accounts and moves everyone else to resellers, so a mid-size customer can lose named support contacts and face a substantially repriced renewal with limited notice.
  • Continuous EDR recording is retained for a defined window and longer retention is a paid tier, so the investigation you most need is often the one whose telemetry has already aged out, and that is discovered during the incident rather than before it.
  • The product assumes an operator: watchlists, policy tuning and alert triage are ongoing work, and organisations without a dedicated analyst or an MDR contract typically leave policies in monitor mode and pay for telemetry that is never reviewed.
  • The sensor operates in the same kernel and file-filter territory as other endpoint agents, so running it alongside an incumbent antivirus, DLP or backup agent commonly produces performance complaints and requires maintained exclusion lists on both sides.
  • Linux sensor support is tied to specific distribution and kernel versions, so a routine operating system upgrade can leave hosts without a supported sensor until a matching build ships, and anything outside the supported list gets no coverage at all.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Euna Solutions: Is this the same company as GTY Technology?

Yes. GTY Technology rebranded to Euna Solutions in 2023. The individual products came from acquisitions including Bonfire, Questica, eCivis and CityBase.

VMware Carbon Black: Who owns Carbon Black now?

Broadcom. It acquired VMware in November 2023, and Carbon Black now sits in Broadcom's enterprise security business alongside Symantec. VMware branding is being phased out.

Euna Solutions: Which product was Bonfire?

Bonfire is now Euna Procurement. Questica became Euna Budget and eCivis became Euna Grants. Ask which underlying codebase a demo is showing.

VMware Carbon Black: Why do the docs use names I do not recognise?

The product has been renamed repeatedly. CB Defense is now Endpoint Standard, CB ThreatHunter is Enterprise EDR and CB LiveOps is Audit and Remediation. Older community answers and runbooks still use the previous names.

Euna Solutions: What does it cost?

Not published. Modules are quoted individually by jurisdiction size and users, usually on multi-year terms and often available through cooperative purchasing contracts.

VMware Carbon Black: Does it replace my existing antivirus?

Yes on supported Windows, macOS and Linux versions, and running it alongside another antivirus is not recommended because the two agents contend for the same hooks. Check your compliance requirements, as some auditors still ask for a named antivirus product.

Euna Solutions: Do the modules actually share data?

Partially, and it varies by pair. Get the specific integration between the modules you are buying demonstrated on real data before signing.

VMware Carbon Black: Do I need a full-time analyst to run it?

To get value from Enterprise EDR, effectively yes. The prevention tier can run with part-time attention, but the hunting and recording capability is only worth its cost if somebody is querying it, which is why many customers buy it through an MDR provider.

VMware Carbon Black: How is it licensed?

Per endpoint, per year, with the capability tier determining the rate and workload and container protection priced separately. Extended EDR data retention is an additional line item.
