Hi Jack,

We are currently using both vendors. In my view, a mixture of the both allows for coverge, if one of the vendors are a bit slow in reacting and releasing an update to cover a new virus type.

The latest offering from Trend allows for one scanner to scan more than one NAS Appliance, which was a restriction that was becomming a pain to live with. I have had not seen McAfee for NetApps in action, but from reading the documentation it behaves in a similar way.

Generally we run McAfee on Local client machines and Trend on Servers, and currently we are serving a user base of 5000+ users accross EMEA and have had no problems.

Regards,

We are looking for a virus scanning solution for our FAS960 with 350 users accessing via CIFS.

Trend Micro is a little cheaper than McAfee but we are a McAfee shop. But I have also heard that Trend Micro is better for NetApp but I can't find any specifics?

Can anyone share their experience with either product?

Thanks Jack
