Re: Microsoft Forefront

We also use SCCM with MS Forefront Endpoint @ NKU.  The antivirus works fairly well - no worse or better than others.  
The SCCM console, updates and reports are helpful, as long as you keep data clean - AD, etc. ... That's another whole 
conversation...

We are looking into the Mac deployment which would require the SCCM client install, and we are hoping for similar ease 
of deployment, updates, reporting, etc.  More on that later when/if we get that working.

We use SCEP with SCCM and it works well. The price is great and its really easy to manage using SCCM. With SCCM you  
have good built in reports and it allows you to create custom reports as well if you like to look at reports.

Greetings Everyone,

Does anyone currently use the new Microsoft Endpoint 2012 product in their environment? If so can you share your 
thoughts on the product in terms of performance, deployment, maintenance, etc. The price point (free) makes it a pretty 
enticing option to replace Symantec Endpoint Security which has been less than stellar.
