    Considered Both Products

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    Sophos Intercept-X gave us a more well-rounded solution.

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    We used to use Symantec Endpoint Protection. At the time we were using it (it may very well be different by now), it required a bit more maintenance and we were constantly having issues with definitions not being downloaded as well as issues updating the software itself. We …

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    When we started to use Sophos the other solution didn’t have all the requested features, like a proxy server that we needed. And we changed an endpoint after that a virus spread in the network, also with [an] updated endpoint.

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    With a single software agent from Sophos Endpoint protection, it's able replace the features offered by two programs AVG & Malwarebytes. This is one major reason why we switched to Sophos. Also we didn't want to continue to deal with the false positives we were getting from …

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    Sophos is head and shoulders above most of its competitors (Webroot, Symantec, AVG etc.). Its ability to recover from encryption has several times over paid for itself, whereas most other solutions can't block or recover from encryption without the use of a business grade BDR. …

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    Sophos's shields are more powerful than both McAfee's and Symantec's while using less system resources doing its active scans. It does use more power while performing a manual scan than either, but nothing that cripples the system or leaves it unusable while it is running. The …

    Chose Sophos Intercept X
    I don't feel it's fair to compare Sophos Intercept X with the versions of Symantec and AVG that I have used in the past - as that was such a long time ago. I'm sure those other companies have released far more features than I used all those years ago.

    Chose Symantec Endpoint Security
    I have worked on many antivirus tools, but according to my opinion, this is a stable and reliable product.

    Chose Symantec Endpoint Security
    Simply superior in every way in my opinion. These others were not in the market when we started with SEP.

    Chose Symantec Endpoint Security
    I actually didn't make the decision to go with Symantec at all. It was already in place when I started working at my current employer, and we have not yet had the opportunity to replace it. I replaced it at my two previous employers with Sophos Endpoint Protection, which was …

    Chose Symantec Endpoint Security
    Symantec Endpoint Protection stacks up to the competition very nicely. It does have all the features of the competition except the licensing model is a lot cheaper than the other products. For our large scale environment, it allowed us to effectively manage a high volume of …

    Chose Symantec Endpoint Security
    I've used a number of other anti virus solutions over the year, such as Sophos, Norton as well as a few other packages. Symantec Endpoint Protection provides good value for money and performs well when deployed on a network of end points, ranging from one or two devices to …
