None. We selected AppDefense because our vSphere Enterprise Plus with Operation Management needed to be renewed. It also was at the End of Life and new offerings were being presented, so it made sense to upgrade to vSphere Platinum and gain AppDefense as another solution to …

We were advised that vShield will be retired and its functionality was being integrated with App Defense. Carbon Black is or was the only AV vendor that integrated with it. A priority for us was to use a VMware supported solution. Sophos Intercept X was creating their own …

Chose VMware AppDefense (discontinued)
The 2 biggest advantages are where the product sits in the VMWare Stack and the approach to detecting anomalous behavior. When I compare this to ExtraHop or NetScout, They sit outside and collect a ton of data and offer not much assistance in evaluating the data. We dont need …

Chose VMware AppDefense (discontinued)
We have several security applications, but none exactly like VMware AppDefense. That is one of the reasons I like it, as it seems to take a different angle on monitoring and protection. The other apps monitor different things, but one thing AppDefense seems to have over them …

I believe that the product is priced well enough that a small business that is concerned with data center security can justify using the product. My environment hasn't scaled up very far yet, but I am a little concerned that when we get to a certain point, the management console will get full and be more difficult to track. An enterprise customer might see that as a problem.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Steep learning and a lot of moving pieces
  • Very new product and Carbon Black is the only 3rd party vendor that can integrate
  • Limited information and training. We've never been to VMworld but it was barely mentioned at the VMUG UserCons we've attended

Their support chat system is very responsive, and if they don't resolve it quickly with that method, then they will remote in and help that way.

We were advised that vShield will be retired and its functionality was being integrated with App Defense. Carbon Black is or was the only AV vendor that integrated with it. A priority for us was to use a VMware supported solution. Sophos Intercept X was creating their own module. Trend Micro Deep Security didn't have any plans in place to move from vShield.

  • For the cost of the upgrade to vSphere Platinum compared to the costs we were already paying for vSphere Enterprise Plus with Operations Management was comparable. It made sense to upgrade and with that, we received the added features of AppDefense.
