The previous version of Forefront requires a full copy of SQL to function like the SAV, etc consoles do. It did work but I have not worked with the current version. It was a smaller footprint than either of your current choices and I personally think it would catch more than either of them. The console was not as full featured (previous version) as any of the other named versions. If money was no object then either Vipre or the eEye counter part, depending on what you want it to do. Both of your current choices will make major work for you down the road and will not catch as much as Forefront, Vipre, or eEye.
