Actually if factoring cost into the factor I wouldn't suggest looking at
McAfee's product. Not that it is bad, but after going through a through
review process of Trend, McAfee, Norton, and Sophos their price was just
below Trend the most expensive.
We chose Sophos and they do have a management console. Granted it is a MMC
snap-in, but it doesn't require the overhead that McAfee's product did.
Only the Windows9x clients needed a 'agent' installed on the PC for Sophos
while McAfee requires it on any computer it is going to manage. Take a look
at the Enterprise Manager from Sophos, I feel it is a great product.

Cost is probably going to be a factor. Mcafee has a product in addition to
VirusScan that you can use to manage all hosts from a single console. It's
E-Policy Orchestrator. I don't believe Sophos has anything except
reporting. Not sure about Trend Micro. If you want to be adventurous, you
can manage it all through scripting.

I need to set up some anti-virus software for our company. We have
about 15 people running windows, a windows 2003 file server and possibly
and exchange server, and over the next two years we will grow to around
100 employees. Basically, I want virus software that I can manage from
one console, and will do a good job of finding viruses. I'd prefer to
have the file server and exchange server be able to be managed by the
same console, but if not I can live with it. I've been looking at
Norton and Panda, but am looking for some real world opinions.
