      Ok, and the deep scans are nice and light too? Its the full system scans where we run into real issues with Kaspersky after V6, and all other vendors we have tried so far.
      Emails coming through from our google accounts are usually fine, its those that come in through our web hosting company that give us grief. They offer a mail AV product from McAfee on the server, but want something like $10 per email address which is just not worth it when our on-premise AV filters incoming mails. If we have to purchase something different to do that task alongside Webroot on the endpoint, that would increase our current cost dramatically ( The listed price for Webroot is already quite a jump from what it cost to renew last time with Kaspersky).

        Appriver is who we use, it's a $1/month/user. Most others I've seen are about the same. All things considered I like it.

        Though I believe that O365 includes virus and spam filtering.. so when we look to move to that.. we can reduce our costs more 🙂

          @ShaunS yeah the deep scans do the same thing as the fast scans, just for all your files. You'll get a higher data usage the first time you run it, but it won't bog down the machine. And you can schedule and time them so they are in off peak hours if you like. I'm confident that Webroot will pick up anything that comes through email, so having separate filtering is just a nice to have.

            So we are working with Webroot on terms to become a reseller. We've been running it in house as a test. The fact that it does not impact performance when I'm using the hotspot on my phone for access from the laptop confirms that it Webroot is data efficient.

            Most of our customers don't want the overhead impact of a "1 solution for everything". Having endpoint protection that is distinct from email security and compliance also makes sense.

                Good question. Shoot out of the key vendors commences.....

                  @ajstringham I think we're pretty comparable. I don't have the full pricing info handy, but I know we do have discounts for SpiceHeads. I can get you to the sales rep for your zone if you want more info or a quote.

                    @nic I would be VERY interested in checking it out if you can get me more info. I have some stuff that I'm using right now but a real business level AV would be good me thinks...

                      @ajstringham cool, just message me with the contact info and I'll have someone reach out to you. Richard coaches the whole sales team on being nice to SpiceHeads, so they won't be pushy 🙂

                          Nic, I would be open to testing this out too, Symantec Endpoint.Cloud subscription is ending in a few months and while I'm not disappointed with it, I'm open to other alternatives.

                            Is that basically a cloud version of SEP?

                              @ajstringham Yes, and ironically it works better than the on premise solution ever has for me. I've been using it at my current employer for a year now and tested it thoroughly against an on premise solution at a previous employer. It outperformed in both cases the on premise version. So yeah, I'm a fan of cloud AV solutions, especially if they work well.

                                @Bill-Kindle sure thing - would you rather play with home or business version? The scan technology is the same but the portal functions are deeper in business. There's a business trial here (don't worry, the sales folks know not to pester SpiceHeads 🙂 http://www.webroot.com/customerSupport/trialRegistration.php?trpd=WSAB&loc=usa&lang=en and I can get you a home copy to play with if you'd rather that way.

                                  @Nic Thanks, the business version is what I would be more likely to test. I still rely on MSSE for home ATM, wouldn't mind trying it out there too.
