What's wrong with Vipre Enterprise? J Seriously. I'm using it here on ~100 machines and it's doing pretty good. Had some growing pains learning how to configure it, but it's very flexible and works well.

Is there a better database options? Greetings and salutations everyone! Let me apologize in advance for such a long e-mail, I didn't intend for it to go on and on and on.x Here's the deal. Our Symantec agreement is up for renewal here in a little bit and we are looking at possible alternatives. One package that I am particularly interested in is Microsoft's Forefront. Normally I would cringe at buying something like this from Microsoft, but after my experience with Security Essentials (which has been GREAT BTW); I thought that looking at their enterprise solution may not be a bad idea so I wanted to see what everyone here thinks. The one thing I haven't yet figured out (as I'm not a great DB man) is that they sell Forefront with MS SQL (locked down so it only works with Forefront, at least that's how I read it) or without it. Now the way they phrase things indicates that MS SQL is needed in one way or another, and I was wondering if that was really true. Is it possible to use and open source database? Is anyone here running Forefront? Is so, what's your database solution? And if not MS's Forefront, then where else should I be looking? I know a while back EOD32 was a favorite, is that still the case? We've been stuck with Symantec for ~10 years now and with the bloat and stability of their programs I would really like to get away from them if there's a viable alternative out there. Thanks so much, -Marty Nelson ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
