We had Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition Ver. 7.5 before and just installed
Trend Micro Client\Server\Messaging suite.
The Trend product was a lot easier to set up and worked right out of the
box. It took us considerably more time and tweaking to get the same results
from the Norton product. I love the ability to strip out attachments in
e-mail based on file extensions.
Be sure that you understand Trend's licensing model. They apparently license
this suite by the user and not by computer as is most common. If you have
multiple users per computer we were told by Trend that you are required to
have the number of licenses equal to the number of users on that machine and
not just the one per machine as is the norm.
That being said, Trend appears to be considerably cheaper from year 2 of
ownership and on. IIRC they charge 33% of your purchase price per year for
continued virus definitions support. Norton, at least as recent as CE 7.5,
IIRC charges about the same amount of your purchase price each year for the
same support.
Trend was the clear winner in our case, although I can see scenarios like
multiple shifts in a manufacturing environment where that may not be the
case.
HTH,
