I have to admit that Trend does tend to be the better product out there
(from what I have heard and seen). I know Groupshield at a VERY intimate
level (more then I would like to admit on this list) and I would recommend
staying away from it personally. One thing to point out about Trend (and
any AV vendor really) is that when you go to buy their Exchange product
they will try to tell you to put the Exchange AV product on every Exchange
server (many even go so far as to put it in their documentation). The
problem with this is that if they are using the AVAPI (2.0 and below) then
it only scans MAPI transactions (not SMTP). So putting an Exchange AV
solution on a bridge head that just routes SMTP mail is worthless
(again..as long as it is using the AVAPI v2.0 and below). Exchange 2003
includes version 2.5, which allows for scanning of SMTP transactions, at
which point it does then make sense to put an AV solution on a bridge head
server.
Just wanted to make this point because I have seen a number of companies
paying for licenses for an Exchange AV solution on a bridgehead server
that uses the AVAPI.
Anyhow...Enjoy Trend if that is what you get...it is definitely a good
product.
