We've used SEP to somewhat good results. We have some computers with DeepFreeze and their was a conflict between SEP and DeepFreeze that caused general slowness on the PCs, but DeepFreeze provided a patch to fix it. So, overall we're pleased with SEP.
However I do worry that Symantec will turn their product into more of a bloated piece of software like they've done with Norton. At one point Norton was good. I've been anti-McAfee since 1999. AVG is good for home users, and so is Avast (which I now use).
I've heard good things about Kapersky and am going to seriously investigate switching to it when our licensing for Symantec needs to be renewed.
