Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 vs McAfee and Trend Micro -- Antivirus Performance on VMWare ESX Virtual Environments.
The report is from Tolly which is a Independent group. Recently there has been many questions raised whether SEP 12.1 is as competitive as new versions of McAfee and Trend based on McAfee MOVE technology and other features.
This document gives you a brief Idea where SEP 12.1 stands in comparison to McAfee and Trend with respect to Performance on VMware ESX servers.
Is there any recent 2014 updates on this?
Really good
Does anyone have any recent comparisons?

I would like see a comparision with Kaspersky.
Tks for sharing Test Report, seems like McAfee Move better, I would like to see WindowsXP, 32-bit installations
Thanks for sharing, but take results with pinch of salt - comparing apples with pears - similar but not he same - you should also consider IO not over the large period of time, but how long it stresses each VM for and what impact this has.
We got our fingers burnt with SEP 11.x active scans within our VDI environment, glad to see vendors are looking at virtualisation more and should all be sorted soon.
Thx Vikram for sharing good info!
I will try to share that Report.
I would like to see a utilization comparison between 12.1 SEPM installed on a windows XP box and a server box. This would help IT departments to develop and improve the security infrastructure. The need of tools and reports to sell the purchase of new equipment is hard to find and for small companies it is imperative. These tools could help to convince upper management to make the purchases needed to be more secure and up to date.
