Hello,
Our organization is currently using Deep Security 7.5 and officescan 10 for virus protection for virtual and physical endpoints. We have 130 virtual Windows 7 desktops and around 55 virtual Windows 2008 servers using deep security and 20-30 desktops/servers using officescan. This setup was deployed by a previous admin of the company.
I see the benifit's of deep security by scanning at the hypervisor and offloading the scanning to the DSVA. But would and environment our size be Ok leveraging OfficeScan (which currently is running on a hand full of virtual servers)?
Here's what I don't like about deep security. Were a small shop and there are a lot of moving parts to consider while upgrading to Deep Security 8. Having to upgrade vShield manger, vShield endpoint, vShield endpoint guest drivers, vCenter 5, Deep security Manager, Deep security Filter driver, Deep Security Virtual Appliance, Deep security Agent and finally Deep Security Relay in one maintenance window.
I see this not being as much of a problem in larger orginization's where they have storage teams, server teams, application teams, etc.. but for a one man show, not so much.
Is anyone out there running Trend OfficeScan in an environment our size?
Or any other feedback from folks that use or did use deep security and have since changed to a different anti virus platform.
End state goal is trying to leverage a solution that fits our environment and not use a battle ship when I can be using a pontoon boat ; )
Thanks
