Even though anti-virus (AV) is essentially ubiquitous, enterprises are still wise to review the available products each year rather than simply renewing existing licenses. Carefully selecting the right product from the market can result in better feature functionality, easier management, and/or lower cost, all important factors for any organization. This research note provides an overview of the vendor landscape for enhanced AV offerings and addresses the following key selection criteria:
- Vendor stability and viability.
- Breadth of core and enhanced features.
- Breadth of protected platforms.
- Unit pricing.
Though only two of the reviewed solutions are ideal for all enterprises, many have unique values that will make them solid choices for selected buyers.
