Well I beg to disagree.

The track record of most big AV companies has been very poor when it
comes to there ability to produce a decent product.
Also the fact that more than likely as in the case of Symantec, you will
still have multiple licenses you will have to struggle with and will
also most likely be in a separate console.

For "most large companies" I would rather have a product that works with
no holes than a second rate product in the same post reactive engine as
most big AV company products.

IMHO I would rather stick with a product leader than a big name.

As for ease of use.... try them first and see.
