Just took over a small network (100PCs, 5 Servers). they are running Inoculate 4.53. Support runs out for it in March of this year.
personally , I have never liked CA products, but was wondering if any of you all have done research on whether it more cost effective to stay with CA and upgrade to 7 or start clean and go with Norton, MacAfee or someone else.

Your experience and knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thank you

I currently have over 500 hundred servers +. I run Norton on all DC, Exchange, Radia, File Servers, eTrust on the rest (Not by choice, layered defense, don't have eggs in one basket). Norton/Symantec does a better job of detection and excluding drives when necessary.

I just ran a cost analysis of doing an Exchange AV solution for 350 mailboxes plus clients for 100 systems.

Norton: > $10,000
Trend Micro: > $10,000
CA: ~$2,500

CA's price can't be beat. I've used them successfully for years (except for problems with autodownload of sigs in v4.x). I agree you have to have a layered approach with different vendors. We're going CA clients, CA Exchange, and NAV for SMTP prior to that.
