If you're looking for basic signature-based anti-virus at a reasonable price, F-Secure Protection for Business could be a good choice. It does a good job for anti-virus but doesn't include the more advanced features of more expensive products like intrusion detection, forensics, and protection of zero day exploits. It may work well in combination with other tools.

Incentivized

• The product works with Windows, Linux, and OS X.
• The management of Pointsec has really become very simple and centralized for all IT to handle with ease.
• Preboot encryption keys in the form of a password, by inserting a USB drive containing the key and/or using a one-time password generating device such as an RSA token.

Incentivized

• Anti-virus (classic signature-based). This is a classic anti-virus tool without some of the fancy bells and whistles of more expensive products.
• Real-time protection. The product can do filesystem scheduled scans as well as real-time analysis of files.
• Browser protection. It comes with a decent browser plugin that can block access to malicious sites.

Incentivized

• Types of devices to control needs to be added like McAfee and GFI Endpoint Security.
• Device whitelisting needs more granular level like by Vendor ID, Serial Number, Device ID etc.
• Device Control and Media Protection on MacOS to be added.

Incentivized

• It does not provide "next gen" features like zero day protection, forensics, intrusion detection and analysis.
• The management interface is clunky and difficult to use.
• Real-time protection and firewall services can interfere with legitimate activities at times and make it difficult to troubleshoot.

Symantec Encryption, a few management points led me to evaluate and not go with it.

F-Secure stacks up very well against competitors like McAfee and Norton. Cost is very reasonable, performance is great, and it does as good (or better) a job of these more well-known products. F-Secure particularly works well for non-profits looking to negotiate for a more reasonable rate.

Incentivized

• It protects your data to being leaked from Endpoint.
• It protects the Removal Storage Media unauthorize use on other endpoint
• The policy management is user freindly and roll out on the endpoint is just a signle click away to protect your sensative data.

Incentivized

• Positive - very generous discounts for non-profits make this inexpensive compared to other products.
• F-Secure has caught some (but not all) malware incidents on our workstations, which have saved us time and money.
• The cost/benefit ratio is very high. For what you're getting, this is a reasonably priced product.
