You can point any pc in EPO to use the McAfee http site for DAT updates
as a failover if the pc is not on your LAN for updates. This is great
for laptops.

We currently use McAfee and their ePo server. We manage roughly 12000~
clients. The reporting makes the higher ups happy and is generally fast
and smooth with custom granular control. Unfortunately it does not allow
updates via the internet, only via our corp mgmt server(s). We just
rolled out their HIPS solution, and all it took was a flick of the
switch and as clients check in (often right? :)) the agent was deployed.
I am happy with the implementation, although this and symantec are the
only ones I have seen (corp deployments) I have not had the chance to do
any bakeoffs as these are existing infrastructures.
Opinions and experiences help, but every environment is different and
highly depends on what you want to report on. It all boils down to
reporting and that "warm fuzzy" feeling.
Thanks,
- Albert

McAfee EPO is the main player in the large corporate sector in the
Europe from my experience of around 50 large companies. Most seem happy
enough with it and renew their contracts. Works well across multi office
companies.

the client was installed on the workstation. Also the new GUI is just
plain awful.
