We have a site license for Symantec (Norton) Antivirus for the desktop. We just purchased Antigen for our exchange server. Antigen uses 6 different virus scanning engines at the same time! Between those 6 engines on our Exchange server and Norton on the desktop we feel we are protected. (7 different virus detection engines total)
I would be concerned about depending on a single vendor for both desktop and exchange virus protection (i.e. Symantec or Trend). At the very least, use Trend for Exchange and Symantec for the Desktop.

They still have the best AV research team out there, and regularly beat most everyone else with definition updates. That, and in 4 years, I've never had an outbreak because of a failure of ScanMail. NeatSuite rocks - we use most of the components here. Sybari doesn't sell products for servers and workstations, so you can't compare NeatSuite to Antigen (at least not validly). And you need desktop protection too. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
