Same here (K-12) but after our experience with it, I won't look into their volume licensing program... too many horror stories with SEP.. I had machines with 512 MB to 1 GB of RAM which SEP killed but with ESET, never had a problem and our staff & students were able to use them and do state mandated testing without any issues..

I will check out ESET, is it centrally managed and updated, some of our field offices only have 512k connections , and they rarley get the full 512, so if 8 machines decide to pull down an update from the web it will bring them to halt. thanks again Jean-Paul Natola ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] small footprint AV Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 00:01:15 +0000 ESET. I used to be a SEP shop and I had to get rid of it due to poor performance and once I switched to ESET, never looked backed and saved me a lot of money.

We are total 80 users in 6 locations, each location has a server so in total ~100 nodes. and of course being an NGO funds are scarce.
