Microsoft antivirus

I'm curious as to whether anyone has taken advantage of their campus'
Microsoft licensing agreement to switch from say McAffee or Symantec's
endpoint solution to Microsoft's?

If so, how are you feeling about the Microsoft solution?

Or, if you thought about it and decided not to do it, I'm also
interested in the rationale/any documentation you might have on that
decision.

(Obviously, the cost savings would be nice, but I'm not too impressed by
what I see from MS. Just wondering if I'm missing something)

Thanks
