I too have plenty of experience with their products. Unfortunately I have yet to have had a good experience. My advise would be that if you cant have Trend or Sybari, to stay with Norton/Symantec. Since you already have NAI on the desktops, this will give you two vendors to fight virus's with, which is always a good thing.
