I was on Trend for many years but switched to ESET about 3 year ago, I currently have 275 seats and I have to say it’s very reliable and not much to maintain.
However it’s much more than Vipre and you cannot compare tech support to Sunbelt! However the product is mature and just works I need very little help from their support and If I do I usually have a reply by next business day. I agree give Vipre a few more years and I’ll look at them. BTW I use the Sunbelt E-mail Archiver and it rocks!!!!!!!
