Anti-virus, Anti-Spam and Firewall all in one

What do you guys reckon to these? There is a £200 a year subscription fee to keep things up to date, but instead of offering people seperate packages for spam and anti-virus, this looks like a great and simple alternative. I would normally offer GFI and McAfee or Kaspersky to small organizations but was toying with the idea of looking into this. Has anyone here used one of these, if so, is it any good?

I don't have an equiinet, but I have a watchguard UTM. For the most part I love it. The spam filtering on the watchguard is a joke as the rules are controled by a third party company, so I stick with GFI. But the rest of the antivirus, IPS, weblocker, ect I love.

I still use antivirus on the desktops though. This helps prevents a user bypassing the firewall with a virus on a floppy, usb, cd, ect...Better to be safe than sorry.

Don't forget about watchguard or soincwall those are great firewalls and they have av and anti- spam on them.

At my work we mostly run trend micro worry free for the av/anti-spam and a watchguard or soincwall for the firewall.
