Re: Centralized Antivirus Recommendation

[Mark Rogowski <m.rogowski () UWINNIPEG CA>]

We are in the progress of evaluating (and probably going with) Eset. 
Our observations have been that:
- Eset is "lighter" than the other packages out there
- Eset clients initiate communications with the management server
rather than the other way around
- Strong heuristics
- Runs better on older systems (see first point)
- Various methods of packaging and delivery to client systems

We’re currently researching options to move away from our current
antivirus solution in favor of something with better detection abilities
and a solid management console/reporting server.  We’re also a
technology centric institution so the performance impacts of antivirus
clients are frequently noted by our students so low overhead is also
desirable.
 
Currently we’re considering the following based on other feedback. 
Your thoughts on installation, deployment, and management are much
appreciated!
