Sygate Pro V ESS

I have been running Sygate pro for years but currently trying ESS. Using ESS on Interactive filtering mode it closely resembles Sygate in behaviour. Have tried a number of leak tests with both and found comparable though slightly different results. Would appreciate any comments as to the differences. I am thinking of giving up Sygate because I already run NOD 32 antivirus and because Sygate is no longer supported or updated though it still continues to work.
What do people think?

 

Sygate Pro depends in part on signatures for its protection. These have been out of date for months if not a year. I don't think anyone should depend on it today.

 

It all depends on your view on leaks. Sygate isn't a leaktest giant but it's inbound protection is second to none. It does the job it was made for beautifully and is by no means obsolete.

 

I agree with you Beavenburt and that is why I have continued with it long after its execution by Symantec. Just wonder given lack of support - signature updates as I understand it are not so important - whether it is time to move on. I have a high regard for NOD 32 and thought ESS might be the way forward especially as with interactive filtering it operates in the same manner as Sygate.

 

Diver, the signatures in Sygate Pro are for the IDS, which I am pretty sure only applies to inbound traffic, port scans, etc. So in my mind they are not too important...
