eTrust Virus Scanner

[Benny Butler]

I recently put it on one of my client's NT servers and have been very
happy with it.  I've been waiting for some "gotcha" on the price and
haven't seen one yet.  I'm about to migrate their entire organization to
it, from NAV 2003.  I'm sick of this yearly upgrade for NAV.  The price
doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact I have to visit each
machine, uninstall the old, reboot, reinstall the new,reboot, run Live
Update, reboot, reboot, reboot...

And lets not forget the cost of their server product (equivilant to an
unborn child!)

I think another posted by the name of Alan is also enamored with eTrust.
They've certainly got my attention.

        I have been looking into pricing on different virus scanners and
I have
        found something that I think others might be interested in.
First, it
        should be noted that I have not yet used this software.  I
believe they do
        have a downloadable demo on their web site that I am about to
check out.
        However, what is interesting is their pricing.  I just got off
the phone
        with someone at CA and have the following deal on their eTrust
Antivirus
        7.0 software.  I think it beats just about everything else I
have seen, at
        least on price.  Here is the deal:

        1 - 5 node license of eTrust Antivirus 7.0 w/3 year support @
19.95 per
        license for a total of $99.75
        1 - Media Kit $13.95

        (Note:  This is an upgrade price.  They gave it to me when I
told them I
        was currently using another product.  This is also what they
call
        their "corporate open license" (at least I think that is what
she called
        it).  It is a little better price than the retail version plus
it includes
        the 3 year support.

        TOTAL $113.70 plus tax, and S&H.

        Here is the best part.  The software runs on just about all
versions of
        Windows, Linux, Netware, Mac, & Sun Solaris.  Furthermore, it
includes a
        version for Exchange Server & Lotus Notes.  Plus many others.  I
confirmed
        with the sales person that I can load one copy on my Exchange
Server (no
        cost per client), one copy on my Linux box running MailScanner,
one copy on
        my Server (again, no per client cost), and two others.

        I get any upgrades that may come out for three years and all
virus
        signature updates for life.  Plus I believe Julian just added
support for
        this product to MailScanner.  Sounds like a pretty good deal to
me!  I'm am
        curious if anyone has any bad expierences with this software.
