I wouldn't rush into it. I've quit using ZA with Sygate.
Biggest problem is it really works your CPU and slows your system down.
ZA seems to be constantly probing Sygate, even when you aren't connected
to the internet and CPU usage for Sygate is constantly spiking up over
50%. Internet apps on the Sygate server machine are noticeably sluggish.
There seems to be no performance penalty on the Sygate clients.
The other problem, although I don't consider it as serious is the level
of protection doesn't seem as high for the Sygate client machines. Any
internet app on the server machine gets quizzed by ZA and you have to
give permission before it can run the first time. It seems to consider
any app on the client machines to be just one app - Sygate. So
conceivably a virus could dial home from a client machine without
getting caught. My main concern is outside hack attacks and all the
machines run in full stealth mode so I wouldn't worry about that one too
much if it didn't hit the server performance so badly.
