I have been a longtime user of Norton Corp Edition products and for the most part have been stratified. It only seemed natural when our current subscription to Corp Edition 10 expired that we move to version 11 also called SEP (Symnatec Endpoint Protection) on our Windows 2003 SBS running SQL, Exchange and Act. After reading the manuals the installation seemed pretty straightforward. This is a very different product from version 10 so defiantly plan to spent some time reading the SEP manuals first. After installing the manager on our SBS via the upgrade I ran the deployment manager to install the clients, which seem to go well on only three of the eight XP-pro clients. I had to manually install the software on the other clients due to problems with Outlook getting mail from our Exchange server. The ant-virus client deployment also failed on the server even when I tried to manually install SEP it seemed the version 10 client would not uninstall. So I followed the lengthy task from the support web site to manually remove version 10 from the server and then manually re-installed SEP. After the install Live-Update kept failing. I talked to Symantec tech support several times and per there request removed all Norton/Symantec products and reinstalling SEP a couple of more times after running a couple clean-wipe utilities they provided but Live-Update would still not work. Symantec eventually suggested I go back to version 10 until some of the compatibility issues are resolved with SEP. After investing over 12 hours on this upgrade and then reinstalling the old version we are now considering moving to another venders product.

I like this software . . . seems like a lot of people don't, but I do. Yea, the initial page on the server takes about 5 seconds to load, but as a whole, this is the bomb. The ability to remotely administer all the machines rocks. I am a consultant, and from my laptop I can log in to all my clients domains and quickly (2 minutes or less) make a policy change for 400+ computers (like blocking utorrent, or itunes, or responding to a breach attempt). The firewall is made by Sygate, and is by far the best firewall I have ever used.
The reporting rocks, and allows me to know where there are attempts to break into the networks I manage. I tried McAfee and their client takes up TONS of resources, takes forever to install and generally makes the workstations run slow. Symantec finally got on the ball and made their software fast . . . guess McAfee is going through the same thing the Symantec did several years ago.
The think I think I like the most is that you can have location awareness firewall setting, where you can have a stricter policy when the laptop leaves home base (I use a "Starbucks" firewall policy that really locks down the computer).
The bad: You need a decent server for the manager. Like at least 3 GB of memory and at least one 3GHz processor. Don't try to run the management server on a SBS machine that has low-end hardware, or you will slow the server to a crawl.
