Executive Summary

Forrester evaluated leading client security suite vendors across 83 criteria and found that McAfee leads the market with its comprehensive functionality set and robust management capabilities. Symantec and Sophos are Strong Performers with feature-rich solutions for the threat mitigation market; however, both lack network access control and competitive administration features that can compete with McAfee. Finally, Panda Software and F-Secure offer strong threat protection and access control technologies but do not have a vision of — nor the resources to pursue — client security as anything more than a threat management solution. This is critical to client security solutions as they evolve beyond threat management to serve as an element of risk management and align more closely with business, not technology, threats.
