The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Business Anti-Virus / Firewall (Eset vs. Kaspersky vs. AVG, or other)

Asked by PlazaProp in Enterprise Anti-Virus, Proxy/Firewall Anti-Virus, Anti-Virus Applications

Tags: anti-virus, firewall, eset, kaspersky, avg, spyware

My company currently uses Mcafee Total Protection for Small Business and we a constantly having issues with it. Updating freezing computer, firewall configuration on web console randomly denies applications that I have already authorized. The only advantage that Mcafee has is that the management server/console is hosted by them therefore we don't have to maintain any servers. However, I am starting to believe that I spend more time fixing Mcafee issues than it's worth.

We have about 50 computers at our corporate office and about 50 out in the field that are not part of the LAN and they don't connect back to the LAN at all. We would like to be able to manage the firewall and Anti-virus settings from one location.

I have looked at Norton (Symantec) and TrendMicro but they require a server class OS for the management database side of it. And Norton seems to be a resource hog also. Eset, Kaspersky, AVG all allow the management database to be installed on Windows 2000, XP, or Server OS. AVG even supports Linux. I have read that ESET has a very good light resource engine. I use AVG Free version at home, but that is a whole different ballgame especially when I am then one using the computer. Here at the office I don't have total control of what the employee does, where they go on the web and what emails they get.

So my question is: has anyone used ESET, Kaspersky or AVG in a business environment? And has anyone done this in an environment similar to ours (lan and non-lan computers)?
How easy or hard is it to manage the policies in these products? Any other suggestions for a Mcafee replacement (EPO is to expensive and so far I am not happy with Mcafee)?

(Web content filtering would also be a nice feature to have but not necessary.)
