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.

Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security is better on scanning and removing malware. It got automated removal and got a feature called advanced disinfection. If we can’t remove trying to restart the device the remove it also we can control everything on devices like apps, devices and even the websites the administrator can determine which group or device can access.

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.

Return on Investment
Kaspersky Lab
  • It has negatively impacted our ROI as we have to spend too many man-hours managing the product and reinstalling it.
  • We have had to remove the software 6 months early due to continuing issues and concerns over the protection offered. This has caused us to lose out on licensing costs already paid for.

  • 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
