Hello,
I currently have Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 installed on 1,500 clients spread over 200 sites (with various bandwidth speeds from 100 MB 1 MB lines). Our license is about to finish and I am looking at deploying Forefront Endpoint Protection to all the clients as we use SCCM 2012 R2 currently. OS is Windows 7 SP1.
The main reasoning are:
Cost
Ease of Deployment
Single Server Management
KES 10 SP1 is 250 MB and requires both agent/end point to be upgraded
So I need to put forward a case regarding using FEP on our network. Apart from what I have stated, is there a comparison regarding the 2 products? I think KES is more technical product than FEP, also tedious to support and manage (from what Ive noticed using it for a few years). I dont use Encryption, MDM, so its only an av for desktop/laptops.
Also, I have configured the server and installed the client successfully on a couple of test machines. Issue is that SCCM did not uninstall KES. How will I go about uninstall KES agent/av and installing FEP at the same time. Anyone have any experiences/solutions.
Thanks for your time. Any information I have missed let me know.
Cheers
