  1. Choosing antivirus prepared for Russian office, 13 workstations December 2005 by Petya Kohts

  2. Goal Active, flexible, transparent, scalable protection of user workstations against: Viruses Worms Trojans Adware Spyware Grayware

  3. Investigated products • Kaspersky Business Optimal • TrendMicro OfficeScan • Symantec Antivirus

  4. Symantec Antivirus CE Doesn’t effectively protect against spyware and trojans (was installed in Moscow office, during workstations revisions 3 workstations of 10 were infected by 3 different trojans)

  5. Kaspersky Business Optimal • Russian interface (Russian product) • Not very convenient centralized administration • Much confusing user interaction on client side • Average 1st year license price: $32.5 • 2nd year license discount: 30% • Minimum license pack: 5 licenses

  6. TrendMicro OfficeScan • Proven records of scalability (up to 50000 clients per administration server) • Very convenient centralized administration • Minimum user interaction • Average 1st year license price: $35.7 • 2nd year license discount: 70% • Minimum license pack: 26 licenses

  7. Comparative long periodcumulative license cost

  8. Conclusion In the long run Kaspersky turns out to be more expensive than Trendmicro while being less flexible for administrator and less transparent for users. I propose to buy TrendMicro OfficeScan.

  9. Bids for TrendMicro OfficeScan (client edition)
