I moved from Trend Worry Free to Viper and Ninja and I'm happy, happier then I was with Trend. We have just over 100 employees.

I'm currently in the throes of having to deploy (for the second time in the last 6 months because migrating to a full blown SQL database from the MSDE version blew it up beyond repair) McAfee ePO. I hate it, my supervisor hates it. It's interface is horrible and complex, not intuitive at all, the rules are excruciating to set up, and finally, after years of asking, at least my immediate supervisor is open and willing to look at other applications because he's suffered with ePO almost as much as I have. Unfortunately, we have a contract with McAfee through next year, fortunately he's wanting us to start the research/evaluation process for an alternative to McAfee by this summer so that budgeting can get put in at the appropriate time. <Rant-off> I think I'm going to join the Vipre discussion list, and lurk ;) Vipre was the first alternative software option that I mentioned to him yesterday during this discussion.......

Overall we have been extremely satisfied with the product. We used to have Symantec Endpoint Protection and had users complain that their computers were running slow.. all to find out that Endpoint Protection was causing this. This was still happening even after we setup the scans to perform at night. Another reason that we switch, was that when running the trial version, it would find stuff that Endpoint Protection wouldn’t find. Don’t want to get your hopes up with this product and make you think that there won’t be problems. Like any other software company out there, there will e problems with updates etc. But did want to mention that Sunbelt’s customer support is one of the best that is out there. Within this list you will have Sunbelt employees and even the CEO chime in to help with issues. All in all… as much as we can build up Sunbelt and VIPRE, it will come do to how you feel it has either helped or hindered you network. So go ahead and download the trial and take it for a test spin. And if you have any questions or problems… this list is the best place to get help. _______________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] -- Sherry Abercrombie "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
