I administer a small (30-50 hosts) network with 4 servers -- all of which are either NetWare or Slackware Linux.
We had been using Symantec AntiVirus Coporate Edition, but I'm a few revisions behind and the cost to update would be the same as purchasing a brand new package.
Right now the SAV client runs on every workstation (all of which are running Windows) and on one NetWare server to act as the centralised administration server.
I haven't been thrilled with the detection engine of SAV -- I feel it's bloated and doesn't always catch everything. We had an infection a while ago that simply slipped right by SAV. However, I don't think I can do without a centralised administration console. It has made my job a lot easier to be able to configure all the clients at once, lock them out of changing any settings and then forget about it.
I'm now looking for an antivirus product and I'm not sure that I should necessarily stick with SAV. My requirements are:
- centralised administration - small memory footprint - NO WINDOWS SERVERS: I don't have any and I don't intend on setting one up just to use as an antivirus admin centre so that I can reboot it every few weeks
Anybody have any suggestions?
