@nic I would be VERY interested in checking it out if you can get me more info. I have some stuff that I'm using right now but a real business level AV would be good me thinks...
-
@ajstringham cool, just message me with the contact info and I'll have someone reach out to you. Richard coaches the whole sales team on being nice to SpiceHeads, so they won't be pushy

Done.

Nic, I would be open to testing this out too, Symantec Endpoint.Cloud subscription is ending in a few months and while I'm not disappointed with it, I'm open to other alternatives.

Is that basically a cloud version of SEP?
-
@ajstringham Yes, and ironically it works better than the on premise solution ever has for me. I've been using it at my current employer for a year now and tested it thoroughly against an on premise solution at a previous employer. It outperformed in both cases the on premise version. So yeah, I'm a fan of cloud AV solutions, especially if they work well.

@Bill-Kindle sure thing - would you rather play with home or business version? The scan technology is the same but the portal functions are deeper in business. There's a business trial here (don't worry, the sales folks know not to pester SpiceHeads
http://www.webroot.com/customerSupport/trialRegistration.php?trpd=WSAB&loc=usa&lang=en and I can get you a home copy to play with if you'd rather that way. -
@Nic Thanks, the business version is what I would be more likely to test. I still rely on MSSE for home ATM, wouldn't mind trying it out there too.

@bill-kindle Tell me MSSE is something I've never heard of from overseas. Tell me it's not MS Security Essentials...please...

Sorry to disappoint.

LOL. Just MSE is as bad as it gets. Even Microsoft says it's bad. If you want to go free for home use, go Avast. However, that's a moot point if you end up getting Webroot.

@scottalanmiller He had said it was his home machine that's running MSE. I pray that he's not using MSE at his office.

Microsoft does not say MSSE is bad. They say it's a baseline that all other AV's should shoot to be better than. !=bad.
I know you don't like it @ajstringham but I do. The only reason I've moved away from it for other options (namely Webroot) is because I like the journaling feature webroot has.

We use it via InTune. It is pretty decent.
