Lasereth · 02-08-2011, 01:15 PM

I'm in charge of picking out a new AV product at work. We currently use Symantec Endpoint Protection and it's fucking terrible. It's flat out bloatware and I hate it.

Any good recommendations on a centrally managed AV product? It's really hard to find reviews for this type of thing on the Internet. It's all wishy washy BS instead of actual reviews.

Requirements: centrally managed on a server, can install clients remotely, ***MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE CAN BE INSTALLED ON ANY WORKSTATION, like actual software, not web-based bullcrap***, has anti virus/antispyware/anti rootkit/antiwhatever all built in together, doesn't hog system resources, active directory integration would be great

This is for around 500 PCs. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!!!!!!!!
