Re: Microsoft antivirus

Ed, we migrated to FEP several years ago (from Sophos).  We are an SCCM customer as well, but have not had the two 
integrated as of yet.  We plan to with SCCM 2012.  We have had no major complaints going with the FEP solution.   
Another interesting addition that we are now exploring, is FEP, now called System Center Endpoint protection includes a 
MAC and Linux client.  We have kept around the Sophos for our MAC install base, but will consider migrating off to 
centralize the management console.

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
