I agree with you Michael. We were recently "upgraded" from FOPE to EOP, and I have found EOP to be lacking. I do like the more granular rules, but there are things I'm not happy with, as well.

So far, so good. We've tested it and it works. We are comfortable with the built-in solution because we have a layered defense. In addition to EX2013's built-in AV scanning, we also have email scanning capable AV on all client workstations and 3rd party perimeter devices that scan all inbound/outbound email for SPAM and AV. Here's some more info on EX2013's virus scanning: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150577(v=exchg.150).aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150576(v=exchg.150).aspx On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 8:49 AM, Binner, Lori <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hello- We are beginning to look at upgrading from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. Due to Forefront being discontinued, a vendor we work with has proposed using the "Malware Protection Settings" included with Exchange 2013 as a replacement. Will that do as thorough of a job as Forefront has been for us? Are others using this as a replacement? We are thinking about McAfee as a possibility ...any feedback on any of these or what others are doing is appreciated. Thank you. This electronic communication may contain confidential information.
