We put together an SCCM package for deployment which worked like a charm. I can't really speak much to using the console, although I did deploy it manually to several (somewhere between 50-100) of our servers without much effort.
I do admit that the inability to do a quick search for a particular machine is something I would really like to have changed. Right now I choose the "all machines" view and sort by hostname.

We also went with Sophos a couple of years back. I agree with what Jim says except for easy deployment. I find it to be bit of a pain. Others may have the same issue because I was talking to the Sophos salesman this morning and he said version 10 coming out next month has a much better deployment scheme. Note to Jim: I can't just type in a server or pc name like I did with Vipre, I have to search by IP or search by domain, it brings up duplicate names in the Unmanaged computers window. And, what's worse, the many of the computers in that window already have a\v on them. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: Antivirus Recommendations? Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 12:46:06 +0000 We went through this exercise about a 14 months ago. We chose Sophos. I have not regretted it one bit. Easy to deploy, centrally managed, relatively small footprint...and best of all - it actually WORKS.
