Opinions on Trend Micro vs. McAfee products, please.

Hi,

I can assist you with the Mcafee product range as I use and recommend that
daily (no, I dont work for them just been using the products for years)

Overall I am happy with the mcafee products, for the scenario you are
describing Mcafee AVD will be an appropriate package.

You will have
Groupshield - Exchange Email scanning
Virusscan - Workstation File Scanning (Also used on the server for flat
files)
And to tie it all together you will have:
Protection Pilot, this both rolls the product and updates to the clients as
well as giving you a central repository to see Virus detection and logs of
the network, as well as the current update level of all client PC's

You can set it to page/email you etc as well.

The licensing is transportal as you simply pay for 5/10 user boxes, its up
to you to police the usage of the product as the Mcafee product itself does
not do this.

You should be able to get a free 30 trial of the products as well -however
you will need to check on the Mcafee site for any further info - NAI.COM
