Exchange 5.5 - trends/nav
WE fought the same battle here.. We couldn't justify using 2
different solutions. Symantec has upped there AV support response and updates,
so we went to NAV for Exchange. We also use NAV for Internet Mail Gateways -
Exchange. It works very well for blocking bad files and the newest version has
some nice enhancements. Ultimately it's up to you... But for us a total NAV
solution works well.

Antivirus add-ons for Exchange 5.5 - trends/nav
We currently use Symantec AntiVirus for the Enterprise on our
desktop and have had good success to date. Our Exchange server currently
does NOT have an Antivirus add-on installed. I would like to see some
kind of scanning software on the box for additional protection.
Since we already have NAV for the Enterprise, we have a copy
of NAV for Exchange as well. This would not cost any additional funds to
get this extra protection. However, I am under the impression it's
always a good idea to put a different piece of antivirus software on the
Exchange server as opposed to the desktop to minimize the amount of time to
retrieve updated virus definitions. In other words, if I have both NAV
and Trends installed and a virus breaks out, Trends may have the definitions
before NAV so we'd be better covered than if we had NAV on our Exchange
server.
Unfortunately Trends costs about $5000 or so (we have 350
Exchange users). Has anyone used both of these products and can help me
determine whether the additional cost is worth the piece of mind?
Personally I'd like to see it happen and get Trends but I'm trying to justify
the cost as opposed to an already-free solution.
Thanks.
