Re: Anti-Virus/Malware Enterprise Options

[Brian Griffith <griffibw () WHITMAN EDU>]

Hey Doug. We recently made the switch from McAfee to SCEP. In our somewhat limited testing, they performed similarly. I 
feel slightly better about McAfee (leftover bias against Defender from the early days, perhaps?), but not enough to 
justify the cost. We feel like the central administration of SCEP is better/easier (IF you already have SCCM up and 
running), and you get prettier reports out of the box. I'm also excited about the MS APT product as we transition to 
Windows 10.
