Regarding understanding tech's, I think that's anywhere these days.
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.
For our needs I'd add:
4) Ability for external laptops that have never been in the office to
get updates
Panda says they do 4, but I evaluated it and it didn't seem to be as
well integrated as Trend. Every time I've evaluated our situation I've
stuck with Trend. Some of our users revolt and purchase Symantec
because "it's the standard". *sigh*
We're a consulting company and 95% of our users have never stepped foot
in the office, so I need something that works well outside the firewall.

I want to dump trend just so I don't have to hear their horrendous hold
song anymore. That and the more then one hour hold times to speak to a
tech then when I get a tech there is a 50/50 chance I wont be able to
understand him or her.
