RE: recommendations for centrally managed corporate antivirus solution

["Jennifer Brooker" <brookerj () wealthmgmt com>]

We currently use Kaspersky after switching this year from Symantec
Corporate version 10. We to were Symantec users for many years (and
versions). The initial setup of Kaspersky can be somewhat tricky but it
has been working extremely well for us and has a very small footprint. I
also like the ability of Kaspersky to have nodes update from either the
central server in network or their online server if the node is a mobile
node and out of network coverage. Kaspersky will also quarantine nodes
depending on what rules you setup. 

As a side note Kaspersky found at least a dozen infections that Symantec
did not catch.

We just rolled out TrendMicro at my last company.

It worked fairly well.

either MS SQL or the symantec embedded database. I installed a copy on a
test server and it just about crippled it. Network access from clients
was incredibly slow and processor use was hitting %100. I've heard the
same comments from a collegue who installed it on a new server at the
customer's request. The file server was virtually unusable even before
the client was installed on the workstation. Also the new GUI is just
plain awful.
