We are looking for alternate products to compare for our vmware environment. (~2000 Guests, pure ESXi 4.1 U1)
Our preference is of course VMware but our security department demands comparisons with other products.
Would you please help me with alternates, also about security products for Guest-agentless solutions!
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Check out http://www.virtualizationpractice.com/blog/?file_id=41 for a run down of most if not all the players within the virtualization security market. This is currently undergoing an update but should get you started. A few changes for you as you read through the whitepaper (it requires registration):
Altor is now part of Juniper with vGW 4.0
Trend Micro Deep Security is now at v7.5
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,

While I highly recommend Ed's paper...
I recommend you take a look at Catbird (www.catbird.com), we provide the best solution for visibility, security, and control on VMware.
We also partner with VMware, McAfee, and Hytrust to provide best practice defense-in-depth.

I hope the Catbird is affordable and user friendly. I will check on it today.
