We found the incorporated system of both AV and Encryption to be an absolute breath of fresh air for us.It is great for small and mid-sized companies. We rolled this out across our 4 global regions. We created region-specific groups for our endpoints and placed the appropriate endpoints into those groups. [Then] we defined policies for AV and Encryption that would be used inter-region and assigned roles to the different regions' support staff. Great stuff.

The only other one we looked at was Symantec endpoint encryption this seemed less feature reach and less user friendly.
