Hi,

I would agree with Tim with the All-in-one solutions are not always the best
way to go. There is a large caveat though with going this route and that is
some products don't work with other products. So, if you are going to do a
staged approach to a non all-in-one solution test all the products together
at the same time so you know the end result is a solid solution.

I also have a vote for PGP. Good product and very good support.

Cheers

Duncan
