I have to agree...I've had Sophos on the desktops for years and up until
the last couple of years, it was great.  It still does a good job in
identifying and taking actions on viruses, but the management console,
reporting and other features are poorly engineered.  I'll be looking for
something else when my current contract expires.   I'm going to take a
hard look at Antigen.

We went from Trend to Sophos here.  Its a real PITA.  I wouldn't
recommend it.

 

Thanks

        Hi folks,

         

        I know this is not an unusual request, but just thought I might
get some updated opinions from people. I'm thinking of re-evaluating our
allegiance to Trend Micro for desktop antivirus. Not that they've done
anything wrong, just think it's time to take a look around and see if
newer or better things are out there.

         

        My top three requirements would be:

         

        1)      Excellent threat detection record and frequent updates
to threat definitions.

        2)      Good admin interface with easy and reliable remote
installs.

        3)      Good deep scanning ability of clients with a real-time
scan that doesn't hog resources.

         

        I've heard good things about Kaspersky. Anyone have thoughts
about going in that direction?

         

        And yes, Stu, I know you will recommend Vipre...  <g>. Just
looking for some unbiased user opinions.

         

        Feel free to email me off-list if more comfortable.

         

        Thanks,

         

        Evan
