Well I beg to disagree.
The track record of most big AV companies has been very poor when it
comes to there ability to produce a decent product.
Also the fact that more than likely as in the case of Symantec, you will
still have multiple licenses you will have to struggle with and will
also most likely be in a separate console.
For "most large companies" I would rather have a product that works with
no holes than a second rate product in the same post reactive engine as
most big AV company products.
IMHO I would rather stick with a product leader than a big name.
As for ease of use.... try them first and see.

Simplicity of management. Why managed from 2 separate consoles,
maintain two different license agreements, etc., when you could do it
all from 1 single point. Less software to install on a client, less
resources used. Lots of reasons to go down that route.
Sure Spysweeper Enterprise and Sunbelt's CounterSpy Enterprise are the
two best products out there now, and probably will be for at least
anotehr year, but all the major AV vendors will catch up to them and
offer equivalent features, and it will make the choice easy for most
large companies.

Why would you even want to go down that road.
There is an excellent product on the market by WebRoot that is
enterprise manageable.
They appear to also be one of the main leaders in this area.
I would give them a check just to see. IMHO

Anyone have a list of AV that detects spyware? We are currently
using
eTrust with spybot and the MS beta antispyware. I'd like to get
something that's integrated. Thanks.
