This is true, however, the down side of that is the delay Sybari has in releasing new pattern updates. First Sophos or Norman has to build the update, then Sybari gets it for a day or so in their lab to certify it or something. Then it goes out to Antigen customers.
I was aware of this delay as we were direct Sophos customers with a Unix product, and we used Sophos and Norman on Antigen. Our direct updates from Sophos were a day or two ahead of the same fix from Sybari. Our decision to move to Trend was largely due to the leveling of the playing field with the new AVAPI that both Trend and Antigen use, and the big issue that Trend was able to give us enterprise size NeaTSuite that included Exchange, Servers, Desktops, and PC-Cillin for home use all for the same price that Sybari wanted for Antigen alone. Trend 6 on Exchange 2000 is just as solid as Antigen.

I have Trend and some NAI crap laying around. I was thinking Webshield (SMTP), Anigen (Exchange), Trend (Desktops and Servers). -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Kennedy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 6:12 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Trend vs. Antigen We have a blend of both. Why argue which is better when two antivirus is better than one. Interscan for NT runs between our firewall and Exchange server. Content management is also done on this server. Once mail has made it through it then gets scanned by Antigen. This setup works very well and has saved us from many virus. A good third tier solution is to have Norton Corporate on the desktops (employees still use Hotmail, Yahoo mail to get personal email).
