Re: Anti-Virus

Tim,

We moved from Sophos to Microsoft Forefront this year.
The Sophos product worked well but our yearly subscription (with Sophos NAC=
) went from $14 per client to $17 per client which was the deal breaker.

The price for Microsoft Forefront on our campus agreement is $5.50. =20
With 1300 client licenses we used the AV saving to purchase our Impulse Saf=
eConnect NAC.

No problems with Forefront.

Thank you,

Hello All-

I'm sure this is a repeat of a conversation had on the list before, however=
, my school is looking to switch from Symantec Endpoint to something else. =
I was wondering what anti-virus software people are using. We have about =
250 computers and are looking for something to be hosted on our servers. S=
ymantec, as you know, is very pricy and just a hog on the client computers.=
We were told that AVG enterprise works quite well, but I figured I would =
get everyone's opinion first. Feel free to email me off list to share your=
experiences and opinions.

Thanks,
Tim
