These are good thoughts... I myself prefer Symantec...but I would admit that McAffee and Symantec are pretty much on par from a quality, managability, customer support, and protection levels.

..is Mcafee Enterprise suitable for an office with 50 computers?

Absolutely. Minimum order, I believe is 5 or 10 licenses.

Yes.. I think this is what you want: http://www.mcafee.com/us/products/mcafee/antivirus/desktop/vs.htm

Only about 30 users, around 50 total computers..

is deployment relatively easy?

I haven't used ePolicy Orchestrator, but I have heard numerous people - including some on this site - praise it. Personally, I always deploy it via Active Directory - after I use their tool to customize the installation preferences. And I find AD software deployment VERY easy.

Both products are very easy to deploy... You basically install a management utility on one of your servers....then push out the client to the desktops and servers. I am more familiar with Symantec..but I have done it with both.

This is very easy to manage centrally...both products are very good.

have you guys used Bit Defender?

ASKER

It got the #1 rating.

I'm not sure if those ratings on toptenreviews.com are reliable. It looks like a good product.. but I've never even heard of it. Any input is appreciated.

I would recommend McAfee Enterprise 8.0i, as it is very reliable and an excellent product. I have been using it for years and highly recommend.

It also has EPO to deploy updates to other clients as well.

I never heard of bit defender.... Use McAfee or Symantec..
