I rate the solution a seven out of ten. My advice to new users of the solution is to identify how many applications are running on their endpoints up front.

It is well worth the effort. It does take some time and effort to set it up with guidance from their support team. They help you, which is very nice. I would rate VMware Carbon Black App Control a ten out of ten.

My advice to anybody who is considering Carbon Black App Control is that it is a good solution, and probably one of the best application whitelisting solutions in the industry. However, you need to have a very scalable infrastructure for it. I would suggest using a virtual environment rather than an on-premies one, where you can scale as much as you need to.
