CDW...Not exactly the low cost specialists, but they always have what I am searching for on a moments notice.

The quotes I got for NAI's suite were "supposedly" at a 42% discount, but wre still winding up at around $86 a pop. That's far too much for us to be paying. I've been told that using one set of products on the desktop and anotehr on the servers is a good idea, as one product may catch things that anothr does not. That seems like a sound idea. So, maybe my solution ought to be to look at Trend for the servers and keep things simple for my users and stick with McAfee on the desktops (so they won't freak out, which they so often do with anything "new"). BTW, where did you find that cost estimate? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 2:32 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Suite recommendations I found 150 Users, $4500.... Don't you guys get some kind of discount, like schools? -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 11:30 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Suite recommendations 100 users is about 3300 list. Yes, it is all centrally managed. The server DL's that Dats, etc and then distributes them out. I dotn think you will find a more reliable suite of products. Every one of them is awesome. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 11:29 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Suite recommendations Martin, since I have no experience with Trend, I assume that there are similar methods for updating workstations with the latest virus definitions and engine upgrades? Is the cost reasonable? Unfortunately, Ohio libraries (like us) are losing money this year due to state budget cuts. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 2:21 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Suite recommendations Well, for Exchange AV, Trend and Antigen are THE names. For a suite, I would definitely go with Trend. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hoffman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 11:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Antivirus Suite recommendations Hello! Upon attempting to renew our license with NAI for our TVD suite, I've found that the cost of renewal is significantly greater ($8500 +) than what we originally purchased the suite for (around $3000). Of course, we are going from 101 nodes to 175 nodes, but the jump in cost is enormous. Therefore, I am looking for potential alternatives. I know that there are other vendors that are noted as being worth looking into (Trend, AntiGen, etc.). Any suggestions then, especially in light of cost? I'd really like to find something that might come in a whole lot closer to our original cost for TVD, plus the extra nodes we need (under 200). It really is important that the suite be able to handle integrating well with Exchange 5.5. Especially when it comes to attachment blocking. Thanks much!
