Because it's CA! <shudder> Read through the archives and you will see all the horror stories people have had with their products. I'm not saying no one has gotten them to work, because obviously some people have, but when there are that many problems, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a product.

CA software installs perfectly every time, and ARCServe is so stable, it's almost transparent on our servers =) It's NEVER taken down our exchange server =). Wes, so you use a good product like MIMESweeper at the Gateway level and a crappy product like InnocuLAN at the client level?? Hmmm I guess if you have a real acceptable use policy you can get away with that. We can't really tell students and professors what they are and aren't allowed to do. -alex -----Original Message----- From: King, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 1:00 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Strategy I love CA's ARCserve... It has never caused any problems. I have always gotten reliable backups with it. I have never had to work nights/weekend because the software sucks. I never have trouble with CA phone support. The CA website is so helpful too. Oh, the CA licensing stuff has never cause any problem either. I just can never say how much I love CA products.... ~John -----Original Message----- From: Wes Owen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 3:53 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Antivirus Strategy You may want to take a look at the eSafe discussion from yesterday. We use CA InocuLAN and have been very happy with the product. Distribution works well and we have had no client related issues in the last year. Hate CA. -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Kha Do [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 12:35 PM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Antivirus Strategy I know I'm about to start a huge fire here - It is pretty much in agreeance that for comprehensive antivirus protection, you need scanning at the gateway, smtp, group mail and client levels. I'd like to focus more on the clients here in this discussion, but where other protection with suites ties in would be appropriate as well. How do some of you enjoy / dislike the enterprise-management features of your protection - mainly in relation to NAV Corporate, or McAfee VirusScan / Netshield in conjunction with the ePolicy Orchestrator? Right now some issues I have are that Symantec seems to consistently be slower at releasing definitions than McAfee, but I have heard better things about the Norton mangement console than about ePolicy Orchestrator. We have a very hodge-podge defense right now - no gateway or SMTP defense, Norton on Exchange (we also have a UNIX POP server that we are migrating away from with no protection other than .procmailrc files), and McAfee on the desktops and servers with no ePolicy management - and are in the process of re-evaluating our entire overall strategy. Our users are 700 regular employees, faculty, and public lab workstations, and 1200 students in dorms that we cannot install software for. We're also considering eSafe Gateway, because it is so comprehensive and is cheaper than other gateway solutions. Do some of you relax your client protection if you invest in fully comprehensive gateway protection??
