On the client side: I have only seen Mcafee and Norton. I like Norton better because I have seen Mcafee miss more viruses then I care for.
On the backend side: I personally like Antigen for the Exchange system. However, I have seen TrendMicro's stuff, and it works as well. Probably go with TrendMicro if I need a suit of solutions for the backend (ie. has SMTP as well as Exchange scanners). Last year I was exposed to a lot of large networking type projects, and I got re-introduced to the idea of host-based and network-based security solutions. I think that is where every company should start thinking about and moving towards implementing.
