Hey I have been a long time avast free user and now that we need a new AV at wrk and I have narrowed it down to symantec corporate edition or avast advanced professional suite. The avast setup would be alot cheaper and as I stated I love their AV protection, but Im wondering how the centralized admin works. I have used the centralized administration with symantec and it works much like a MMC setup which is great and familiar (but not a necessary GUI feature). So here I am asking what your guys and gals experience is with this suite.

Cant find anything worth reading on the subject.
-
So nobody has experience with avast in a corporate environment at all???
-
I don't think any company (atleast in the US) uses Avast. I have seen only Symantec mostly.
-
We have been using symantec for the past 5+ years and while its OK I have heard alot about the performance hit with the newest version. The problem is we aren't quite at the end of life cycle for our cad stations so any real performance hit to them would be detrimental. But at this point Im having too much trouble finding data on avast on a windows domain setup to warrant saving a few hundred bucks. At this point we are going to upgrade symantec and Ill stick to free avast for my personal.

My mums work (ABC Early Learning) use's Symantec on all their client VPN machines, it seems to be a pretty standard AV in business'.
EDIT: But, my school uses Sophos, it seem's really, really light, and picks up anything! Even those, false positives it find's in EXE files students aren't meant to open on the network.. -
Else they will use the Bloody MCAFEE which I don't recommended everyone to use it.
Avast!, I can tell it's good but not as good as Norton or Kaspersky. It's on par with Avira and Microsoft.
AVG, hell. Don't. -
There's no better experience than person experience....why not download the trial and set it up on a couple of test machines isolated from the live domain
