we use viper console, and viper enterprise and SO far it worked great. And when we did have some issues, the support team at Sunbelt was the best. A true american bussines. Just like bussines used to be, take care of their client first.
Awesome product, replaced nod32 and mcafee becuase it just does it job, but yea try both, and see wha tyou like, I think support #1 issue with went with sunbelt.
