Cost is probably going to be a factor. Mcafee has a product in addition to VirusScan that you can use to manage all hosts from a single console. It's E-Policy Orchestrator. I don't believe Sophos has anything except reporting. Not sure about Trend Micro. If you want to be adventurous, you can manage it all through scripting.

I need to set up some anti-virus software for our company. We have about 15 people running windows, a windows 2003 file server and possibly and exchange server, and over the next two years we will grow to around 100 employees. Basically, I want virus software that I can manage from one console, and will do a good job of finding viruses. I'd prefer to have the file server and exchange server be able to be managed by the same console, but if not I can live with it. I've been looking at Norton and Panda, but am looking for some real world opinions.
