Trellix MOVE AntiVirus vs. VMware AppDefense (discontinued)

Earlier, we were using the free version of antivirus but it is allowing some of the viruses and not protecting more. So After using McAfee MOVE AntiVirus we were confident about security and privacy. As we found some scenarios where it has given us an alert regarding the virus and we have successfully removed it.

Being a VMware product, AppDefense has the advantage of compatibility with all of the VMware product feature updates and patches ( ESXi, NSX, vCenter, etc.). Paired with Carbon Black, it's resource overhead is well-tuned compared to traditional antivirus products.

• It ensures the protection of our servers and fights back with viruses.
• It is able to sustain equilibrium.
• We don’t have to have a massive kind of free storage to make it work.

Incentivized

• I think that the AppDefense approach is clever and sets it apart from other products. Having a baseline of normal behavior that I can see is something I haven't seen in another product before.
• AppDefense doesn't overload my systems with performance draining agents.
• AppDefense integrates with VMWare products I have or plan to purchase.
• Access to AppDefense support has been better than any other VMWare products.

Incentivized

• Not really any concerns for the remote user.

• PowerShell functionality.
• Sorting results in some areas are not applicable.
• Email alerting through AppDefense Manager does not exist, but support has said it is a feature to come.

Have not had to access a great deal of additional support. The installation is smooth and online tutorials quick and user friendly.

The product is still quite new, and there seems to be a lack of technical information available for both the E.U. and support staff. That being said, the support staff that I have worked with have always been very knowledgeable and ensure that they see a ticket through to completion.

Reve is not so smart tool and was not enough for us I protecting our system files and optimizing our virtual atmosphere. We have been in search of a complete tool which Reve was not. Another factor was its pricing. On the other hand, McAfee is a safe tool and is available at a highly reasonable price.

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 is a streamlined interface and not a lot of false positives.

• It is not costly so it is not burdened so we got peace of mind with the usage of this into the system.
• We are using our machine without worry. It saved our money to take backup with multiple devices.

Incentivized

• As with everything now, automation is key. AppDefense effectively monitors the activity on all our VMs, freeing administrators to work on more projects
• Makes it much easier to diagnose issues when system are not running as intended
