My boss used to work for Norton years ago and because of that I have to deploy the SEP suite to numerous clients. My advice? Go with ESET's NOD32 instead. The SEP suite is a huge resource hog, has a lousy interface with non-intuitive deployment requirements, doesn't catch as much bad stuff as I think it should and is generally a PITA.
The NOD32 managed app takes less than 10% of the resources that SEP does, and the first time I set it up I had it fully functional and deployed in less than 2 hours. We usually quote a minimum of 4 hours for a Symantec deployment. Most of our clients are small-to-midsize businesses, and the deployments are usually 100 seats or less. I don't know how NOD32 scales beyond that. No experience there. I did have a relatively flawless deployment of SEP recently, though. One out of maybe 30 or so... That's my experience with it... *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Nitsan Reznik [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2010 4:55 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Any Recommendations For Symantec Enterprise Protection Suite > > Hi guys, > > > > We've got a decision to move for Symantec Enterprise Protection suite. > > Has anyone got experience with this product? > > I'll be very grateful to hear from you all . > > > > Nitsan Reznik. > > > > > > > > > > ************************************************************** > ********************** > This footnote confirms that this email message has been > scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious > code, vandals & computer viruses. > ************************************************************** > ********************** > > > > > > > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
