corporate antivirus software

Curious to what others use for their corporate antivirus software and their
opinions?

We currently use symantec corporate edition and looking for other options
and ideas.

We use AVG...and like it very much.

We're trying out CA ITM on a couple of our clients, seems to work well.

Based upon what criteria ?

Management ?

Effective anti malware blocking and removal ?

What is the corporate strategy ?

Do you use a different anti virus on the email servers and yet another on border gateways
?

Symantec does a good job but it seems so resource intensive. Too often we
find it's taking too much of the free memory and cpu.

We are due for an upgrade as our license will expire and looking for other
possible alernatives.

Something that we can easily manage from one central location and does a
good job finding, detecing and removing malware, spyware, etc.

We use the same anti-virus software for all the servers - symantec corporate
edition 10.x

Sorry for not clarifying this further with you.

I use Symantec Corp. Ed. 10x and I don't find it to be neraly the resource hog of its
sibling, Norton AV.

Comparatively, I use McAfee Enterprise v8.50i. Its intrusion detection system, buffer
overflow detection/protection and system policies are excellent and not a burdon on
resources.

If you use Symantec on Exchange Servers, McAfee Enterprise v8.50i on workstations and
another solution of Proxy Servers and Border Gateways you will improve your defenses
greatly. And of course, McAfee has excellent centralized AV management through ePolicy
Orchestrator.

I do NOT suggest using the same AV product on servers, workstations, proxies and Border
Gateways.

AVG is the only consistent AV product that I've seen on networks that
have been compromised.

We have Symantec Corp 10.2.1 installed on over 2500 machines, with 80
offices, and see no problems with it like you mention.

You can disable the "Logon Scan" and you can disable the "Network
Scanning" feature if you want to recover some resources.

I've used about everything on the market, Symantec Corp 10.2.x and
Symantec EPP 11.1 (I think it's .1 now) get my vote.
