1105 Redmond Media Group Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Announces Products We Love 2003 Readers' Choice Awards Products from Veritas, Altiris, Microsoft, HP and NetIQ Top the List of Awards Irvine, CA, December 3, 2003 – Readers of Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine have released the winners of their readers’ choice awards according to results published in the December 2003 “Products You Love” issue. “Lots of magazines do Reader’s Choice or Editor’s Choice awards,” said Senior Editor Keith Ward. “What made ours different is that we listed products based on job tasks, not on some esoteric category. These are the products that help readers do their jobs every day, and that’s why I believe they’re especially valuable.” Voting in 34 categories took place over a four-day period in November among subscribers of the monthly independent publication. More than 900 readers, representing 110,000 subscribers, voted. “We worked hard to make sure the voting was accurate,” Ward said. “We kept the voting open only a short time, and required information from voters that we could verify, to make sure there was no ‘ballot-box’ stuffing.” Best Multi-Purpose Server Company HP/Compaq Best Blade Server Company HP/Compaq Best Support Dell Drive Imaging for Rolling Out Desktops Symantec’s Ghost Altiris Migration Suite – Honorable Mention Rolling Out Legacy Applications InstallShield AdminStudio Wise Package Studio – Honorable Mention Migrating Desktops from One Operating System to Another Altiris PC Transplant Migrating Servers TIE: Aelita Software Enterprise Migration Manager TIE: Altiris Migration Suite Managing Group Policies NetIQ Group Policy Guardian NetIQ Security Administration Suite – Honorable Mention Automating Tasks in Network Management HP OpenView Operations for Windows SystemTools Hyena – Honorable Mention Monitoring and Analyzing Network Bandwidth Network Instruments Observer Websense Lightspeed Total Traffic Control – Honorable Mention General Network Monitoring Microsoft Operations Manager HP OpenView Operations for Windows – Honorable Mention Making Sure the Network Is in License Compliance Microsoft SMS Altiris Compliance Suite – Honorable Mention Monitoring Employee Web Usage SurfControl Web Filter Websense Enterprise – Honorable Mention Keeping Hard Drives Healthy Through Monitoring and Defragmentation Executive Software Diskeeper Winternals Defrag Manager – Honorable Mention Simulating Multiple Environments for Testing VMware GSX Server Microsoft/Connectix Virtual Server – Honorable Mention Managing a Thin Client Environment Microsoft Terminal Services Citrix MetaFrame – Honorable Mention Finding Out Exactly What’s on the Network Altiris Inventory Solutions NetCracker Network Inventory Management – Honorable Mention Making Sure Applications Don’t Conflict with Each Other Installshield AdminStudio Wise Package Studio – Honorable Mention Making Sure Servers and Desktops are Patched Microsoft Software Update Services Shavlik HFNetChkPro – Honorable Mention Determining Who’s Accessing What GFI LANguard Security Event Log Monitor Computer Associates eTrust Access Management – Honorable Mention Tripwire for Servers – Honorable Mention Managing Passwords and Allow Users to Self-Reset BMC Software Control-SA/PassPort IS Decisions UserLock – Honorable Mention Finding Out Who’s Trying to Get In Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System Snort – Honorable Mention Enforcing Strong Network Authentication Datakey Axis Protocom SecureLogin – Honorable Mention Blocking the Flood of Spam Trend Micro Spam Prevention Service NetIQ MailMarshal – Honorable Mention Keeping Viruses at Bay Symantec AntiVirus Network Associates McAfee GroupShield – Honorable Mention Backing Up Your Data Veritas Backup Exec Veritas NetBackup – Honorable Mention Managing Your Storage Environment Veritas Volume Manager Veritas StorageCentral – Honorable Mention Recovering from a Disaster with Minimal Damage Veritas Backup Exec Winternals Recovery Manager – Honorable Mention Enhancing Reliability with Clustering and Failover Veritas Cluster Server Veritas Global Cluster Manager – Honorable Mention Troubleshooting Problems Remotely NetSupport Manager Altiris Carbon Copy Solution – Honorable Mention Preparing for Certification Exams Transcender Sybex – Honorable Mention Self Test Software – Honorable Mention Training Employees on the Latest Technology Global Knowledge Measure Up – Honorable Mention Cisco Press – Honorable Mention The final results can be viewed at http://mcpmag.com/Features/article.asp?EditorialsID=382.
