Rip and Replace was fantastic. I suspected the process would have taken weeks of having to 'touch' 650 workstations and manually remove the old product. Rip and Replace cut the process down to a few days and in addition to removing McAfee, it installed ESET endpoint and connected it to the management server.

ESET implemented a strategy for a district-wide rollout, they created a package that removed old product replacing it with ESET NOD32, and activated at the same time. Rolling out their product was one of the easiest migrations we ever had to do in our district.

ESET's Rip and Replace installer did a better job uninstalling Symantec Antivirus than Symantec's own product.
