Exchange 2016 Malware Scanning

Does anyone have any opinions on Exchange 2016 native malware scanning? Is there a noticeable performance effect? Does it work well and is it configurable? I getting ready to install Exchange 2016 and i have the option to leave it default or disable and enable later? Just curious about opinions with it.

I wear a lot of hats...

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Just disable it. Microsoft native scanning, is a headache for admins. Does nothing and uses unnecessary resources. Better to use 3rd party product, like Brightmail, EOP or message labs.
