So, I think and our users feel that our SEP is set up badly. Any recommendations on what AV is macOS "friendly". I used McAfee and SEP in the past and wasn't super upset with SEP but I have nothing nice to say about McAfee...

Sophos? ClamXav? Cylance? Crowdstrike?CarbonBlack?

I think google uses Sophos, Crowdstrike Netflix, IBM CarbonBlack.....

or an I just trading old issues for new issues?

I don't think I can sell gatekeep or ClamXav do to the lack of reporting. Unless somebody has figured out how to resolve or argue for them..

Thanks

I've heard Sophos is very Mac centric. Malwarebytes is nice and lightweight on system resources too.

If I have to install an AV macOS "friendly"....

Malwarebytes will be my option

If you're on slack, check the sophos channel. my experience is anything but mac centric/friendly (for Central/cloud at least)
