We were in similar situation.  For the same dollars we were paying Sybari for
Antigen we got the full Trend NT Suite. At one time Sybari had a clear
advantage over Trend. Trend was using a clunky MAPI interface while Sybari
had their slick ESE wedge.  This is no longer the case. Both Trend and
Antigen use the same AVAPI with Exchange 2000 SP2.  We switched to Trend and
now love it.

Subject: NAV vs Sophos as scan engine for Antigen?


We have been using Sophos anti-virus for our file-level AV on our
workstations and as one of the AV engines used by our Antigen system.  We've
been quite happy with it, but now Sophos has changed their licensing model
and our support renewal is 40% higher than last year.  I'm looking at
alternatives, one of which is Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus.

Can anyone comment on NAV or recommend other good anti-virus systems with
effective central update consoles, good support, and no compatibility issues
with OS or other apps?

>From what I'm hearing, Antigen will work with any AV software, so I don't
think compatibility is an issue.

TIA
