With everything working as it should, I would say it's a very good solution.
It's a significant improvement over the old Panda Administrator. As
Lefteris indicated, the new interface is very nice and pretty intuitive, and
you can do just about every you need to remotely: install client AV; scan
clients, monitor client status. The one exception is with Win98 clients:
those must be manually installed (I believe). Also, I believe clients
actually pull for new AV signature files (rather than it being pushed by the
server).
Infoworld recently did a review of it. You can see it here:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/30/05TCantivirus_1.html
Also, I must add that I've only used Panda. So I can't really say how it
compares to other products. But if I were going to do it again, I would
probably give Trend Micro's offering a closer look. From what I've heard
it's pretty good and is used by a lot of people in the newsgroup (good from
a support standpoint). Also, in this Infoworld review, it was actually
given a higher rating than Panda, although I think that was mostly due
(coincidentally) some connection issues the reviewer encounter when setting
it up.
