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 …

Chose VMware AppDefense (discontinued)
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 …

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 …

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.

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • 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.

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.

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.

  • Makes it much easier to diagnose issues when system are not running as intended
