I have a client in the financial services sector that owns System Center 2012 R2 (just Operations Manager 2012 R2 deployed so far) that is being courted by Bit9 for its "superior" endpoint protection. Can anyone point me to some credible resources for comparing Microsoft's Endpoint Protection (component of Configuration Manager 2012 R2) to the competition (Bit9, Symantec, McAfee, etc.)?
If Microsoft's Endpoint Protection is "good enough" (and has a credible long term product roadmap), it probably makes sense to deploy that since it has already been purchased/licensed. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
