I managed to find several older posts regarding vShield anti-virus but nothing recent so here goes.
I'm looking to implement a clientless vShield integrated anti-virus solution in a vSphere 5.1 environment and a separate vSphere 5.5 environment.
So far I've found the below info.
Trend Micro - Not yet compatible with vSphere 5.5. ETA sometime in Q2/Q3.
Sophos - Requires a DHCP server. While not the end of the world, we don't currently have DHCP in our environment and haven't needed it for anything in the past 5 years, I hesitate to implement it for this.
Kaspersky - Waiting on a call from sales to setup a demo.
Symantec - Not interested, have been using them for the past several years and had a poor experience.
BitDefender - Not interested, used them in the past and was not a happy customer.
If you have any experience/recommendations implementing or managing a vShield AV solution with vSphere 5.5 I would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks as always.
