Moving Forefront to the fore
Pros
- SCEP is a light weight client which is minimally impactful on the user end.
- Forefront's management console provides excellent monitoring and reporting.
- Setup and configuration is very easy.
Cons
- Malware detection is not quite 100%. We have to use a secondary program occasionally.
- On low ram and weak CPU systems scanning can freeze the machine.
- The same reporting tools that are on the console version, aren't on the client.
Return on Investment
- Less turnaround on virus based issues.
- Helps reduce malware issues over time.
- Can breed overconfidence in the system, so people don't always try a second tool.
