been disappointed with the increased overhead as time has gone on.
Especially in a K-12 environment where we keep machines longer, that
overhead creates more of a problem.
Our Symantec license is up in August, and this time around it will not be
renewed...thankfully.
I looked closely at Kaspersky, Sophos, Trend, and Sunbelt Vipre Enterprise.
We went with Vipre, which covers anti-virus and anti-spyware. I really liked
the engine and how it wasn't the resource hog that Symantec and some of the
others. I also liked the management console.
We're in the midst of deploying it now, so I'm not at a point where I can
talk about it in action quite yet.
They came through with some great pricing for us, and included "home use"
licenses which is a big plus given the cost of the home anti-virus options
these days.
