What corporate AV are you guys using?

[AFurryReptile]

I'm currently running Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security across ~50 nodes. I like the control panel, and it's been relatively painless to use.

If you all have any better suggestions, my renewal is coming up and I'm open to alternatives. In particular, TM runs rather heavy on older systems, and seems rather poor at actually removing viruses (it seems to find them OK.) Web filtering and a decent management interface would be a plus.

Let me know what you guys think!

We use the same. Not my choice, but it seems ok so far.

Norton

not a huge fan of it, but it's miles ahead of McAfee, which was our prior AV

Noted, however I have a long-standing hatred of Norton from years of being burned by buggy products. I've heard that Norton is a lot better now, but I still don't like the company :/

Symantec Endpoint

Have been using Symantec but i'm not a huge fan of it.. the console is slow and not ideally designed.
Moving over to Forefront (now called System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection) currently.. it seems pretty good and is light on resources.

Yes, it shares engines with MSE, but not sure what all the differences are.

Forgot about Forefront. Hmm. This one uses the same engine as MSE, too, if I'm remembering correctly...

Forefront vs. Endpoint

:hmm:

Symantec Endpoint

This is what we use. We haven't had many problems with it that I am aware of.

I've seen Symantec recommended a few times, so I'll check it out. I've used it before, but it was years ago.

Does anyone have any experience with ESET's NOD32? I like what I've seen of it so far, but I've yet to give it a trial.

 

[ImpulsE69]

We use SEP as well. I hate it, people have all sorts of issues with it, however that seems to be due to our IT not properly getting the old firewalls uninstalled *smack*

We've started using it at my office, switching from CA's terrible software. Seems pretty good, and it's picked up things that MSE doesn't find (occasionally we have laptops with MSE come in needed to be cleaned and fixed, and while MSE can't find the virus eset can).

It seems to be relatively resource-lite, which is a bonus.

It's not perfect though, nothing is, and there are some viruses and such it can't remove.

No AV's perfect, but NOD32 has been around forever, has been "good" as far back as I can remember, and appears to have most of the features I'm looking for. I think I might give it a try. I'll let ya'll know if I do.

And yeah, I've used CA, too. It's just terrible, ancient antivirus.

Our company uses Norton and it is a real big POS. At least for me as user. resource hog. i usually re-boot or kill the sheduled virus scan...else I cant really work during a scan.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Seems to be all over the place, sometimes we run F-Secure, sometimes McAfee. Guess whatever happens to be cheaper at renewal time.

 

[Diogenes2]

I work for a very large IT company ( over 400k employees ) that uses Symantec Endpoint .. It doesn't mean it's the best, but they are pretty picky about this sort of thing ..

 

[KentState]

My last two companies used Symantec or SEP depending on the version. Current place is using McAfee and it seems to be clunky to manage on desktops and much more so on servers. The infrastructure guy is pretty hard headed and set in his ways which is probably why it takes an army to install something like SQL Server without McAfee causing issues.

 

[holden j caufield]

just changed to Symantec Endpoint. I find it sucks a lot of bandwidth at our other smaller branches. How are you guys configuring the live updates etc. I've got my GUPs set up but it still seems to be sucking a lot of traffic.

 

[pauldun170]

We are cursed with McAfee at work.
Always fun to watch fcagte.exe bloat up to 2gb memory usage as the system slows down to a crawl.
Unfortunately our systems are completely locked down so there is nothing that can be done

 

[Flopp]

Symantec Endpoint as well.
