Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security vs. VMware AppDefense (discontinued)

We installed Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security on prem because it will affect bandwidth on cloud but you can control it to determine how much you want. But overall I prefer on prem. It's better and faster when you try to install endpoint on devices. It got all the features you want & you can control everything but the interface needs improvement.

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.

Protection against advanced threats, as the solution includes advanced threat prevention technologies, such as sandboxing and detection of abnormal behavior in daily accesses. Centralized management, allows you to manage the security of several devices from a single management console.

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 looked into competitors like Trend Micro and Sophos throughout our research into cloud security solutions. Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security stands out as the best option because of its superior threat detection capabilities, its ability to easily integrate with widespread cloud services, and its ability to adapt to our unique infrastructure requirements through a hybrid strategy.

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.

Incentivized

• Increased security posture by providing advanced threat protection and data loss prevention capabilities.
• Business continuity by providing a robust security solution that ensures the protection of the organization's data and applications in the case of a security incident.
• Increased productivity by providing a unified security management console that allows us to manage security for all of our environments from a single location.

• 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.
