Yes, if you post a comment on the list for Sunbelt's Counterspy, for example. A ticket is opened and a tech calls YOU. At least it works that way for me.

Freaking thing started quarantining all our DOCX documents and then would not release them from quarantine without first sending a copy to Eset. Try explaining something like that to researchers working on patentable projects! That is one of the reasons why I am looking at moving. I will add that the support Sunbelt has for all their products goes way beyond almost all the other companies.

However right now the extra few $$K is not worth it if I have to go around to 200 PC' and fix a bad update! NOD 32 works very well in my environment, ones you get used to the console is not so bad, I only had to call tech support ones this year, it was not an urgent matter but it did take some time to resolve. If I only had 10 - 25 PC' it would be a no-brainer! I would switch to Vipre right now. I think Vipre is an excellent product but not mature enough for the enterprise, only my humble opinion. BTW I'm using Ninja on my mail server and I'm very happy with it. ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NOD32 - > VIPRE Any, how many PC's? ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 4:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NOD32 - > VIPRE IMO only, ESET has really gone downhill in the last year. I too, was a huge ESET fan, however, support tanked, the response times got unbearable (hours turned into days), the new version sucked donkey balls and I was never a fan of the console. For me, VIPRE was a no brainer mainly on price and an additional point of consolidation; i.e., migrating from NOD32 + CSE to VIPRE. NOD32 is a decent product as (someone check me on this) they are the oldest player in this space. The time was just right for me and I was able to sign a three year deal with the Clearwater crew for less than a FREAKIN' RENEWAL of NOD32. ESET was the stuff 18 months ago but I think they got lazy.

If Vipre was a bit more mature I would definitely switch but reading about the latest definition issue, I probably have to stay with ESET for now (against my want). ___________________________________ Stefan Jafs From: Alex Eckelberry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 5:26 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: NOD32 - > VIPRE Fwiw, there are a LOT of fixes and enhancements in the new agent being released in several weeks.

The Vipre move saved my clients money even if you factor in the new install and learning curve, and it works fine. As stated earlier... on one client I cranked up full paranoia mode and it nuked Outlook (Sunbelt didn't have that particular version of the outlook.exe on file yet) so be sure to test settings changes on a small group first J. Also as Phil said, Sunbelt's support is great, and on the Vipre list there's a couple guys who seem to know the product almost as well as Sunbelt.

As you said, since NOD32 Is working well I think you'd just need to get a feel for what you think about Viper Enterprise vs NOD32. Speaking of AV, in my experience I have had very very low infection rates with both Trend or McAfee. I went to Vipre for the better spyware/malware side, only later realizing Trend updated their product. Bad me.

I converted a couple of clients (less than 25 seats) from Trend OfficeScan (aka Worry-Free business) to Vipre, as well as my own small shop, but not 100% convinced it's ready for "prime big time" (Nothing glaring really, it's just the conservative side of me). There's a Vipre Enterprise mailing list that is worthwhile to watch too. For small businesses the lower cost will probably offset the slight learning curve. (Note: cranking up the security to full blown paranoia mode will create some work for you J).
