Which antivirus to choose for the office?

Question

Antivirus

We have about 50 Windows machines, mail, Internet, servers. I hesitate between NOD32 or Kaspersky.

Answer 1

My opinion: NOD32 does not load the machine as much as Kaspersky, so I installed the node in my office.

Answer 2

We use kaspersky. Satisfied. Hasn't slowed down for a few years now. Hasn't let me down once in over 10 years.
By the way, the example of Kaspersky is now often given at business trainings about a public opinion poll.
They ask the question: How do you characterize Kaspersky Anti-Virus? Everyone in the hall: "Slows down." Coach: It hasn't slowed down for a long time, but the opinion of the people remains. :)
Personally heard at 2 trainings.

Answer 3

What a strange question.
Firstly, it is completely unclear whether the author of the question is pirating or not.
If a pirate, then you need to choose according to the functionality provided and the convenience of piracy.
If not, then you should choose mainly by price, angrily scoring the rest.
Secondly, according to the answers, it is clear that the responding antiviruses were seen only at home.
For the main parameter of choice is the convenience of the provided tools for managing anti-virus software on client machines, but not a word about this.
If you choose from the named one, then Nod because Kaspersky has an extremely clumsy Kaspersky Administration Kit
. The node is also not a masterpiece, but better.
Personally, I prefer Trendmicro products for their excellent web based management console.

Answer 4

Personally, I would choose AVG .
It's a little fat, but it's free and it does the job just fine. Hasn't let me down yet.

Answer 5

Of the free ones, for my taste, MS Security Essentials, Avast are good. I don’t see much point in paying for such software if you only need basic functionality.

Answer 6

I also sat on Casper for a long time, switched to MSE. In general, I'm satisfied. It's simple, no frills, but it works. Judging by the reviews, it protects against viruses quite well. Well, a firewall also does not hurt to install.

Answer 7

MSE is licensed for home use only.
I would choose Nod, because. it is easier in terms of administration (centralized updates, etc.). And for security, it is best to install Nod on half of the computers, and, for example, Kaspersky on the other.

Answer 8

for the office, definitely not a GCD - it doesn’t catch anything, and even more so, it doesn’t treat (personal experience)
enter Kaspersky or Dr.Web

Answer 9

Personally, I had a node on all machines for a long time, but it learns about new viruses categorically more slowly, because of this, I often had to shovel employee systems to clean up viruses, switched to Casper, a much better solution, the reaction speed is currently faster than for the rest, you can also use doctorweb, which is also not a bad solution, but some viruses, in my experience, get into their database more slowly than Casper.

Answer 10

GCD is not the best
Avira is a good antivirus, but it is free for private use (I don’t know for an office), although no one checks it
from GCD and Casper, I would definitely choose Casper

Answer 11

And what did not grow together with Symantec?
