Best Anti-Virus

We currently use Sophos Protection. It works great and can be tracked using the Sophos console. The benefit is we run weekly reports to make sure all definitions are all update to date. Usually if the systems are not up to date is because the computer was off

I tend to agree with IBM's stance... "Rely on the native capabilities of macOS (Gatekeeper & SIP & Xprotect)"

I thought Sophos did an okay job when we used it at $oldjob.

We are using SentinelOne right now at $currentjob and if you don't have someone that is really intently managing and figuring out appropriate exclusions/whitelisting on the regular you will have lots of angry developers. Often.

But ymmv.

Sophos hasnt been as reliable recently. It somehow allowed CryptoLocker on one of our windows machines. We're currently testing out Cylance and it seems to be alot better than Sophos.

But I've used Sophos which I like and SEP which in recent incarnations has been pretty good actually.

I have been using Eset CyberSecurity / Endpoint Protection for some time now, thinking of switching to Sophos.

I've had to turn off various options or add exclusions to get Eset to play nicely with Office, InDesign and Type Client. I've also had some issues that require Eset to be reinstalled.

The cloud console for Sophos looks attractive, Sophos home works fine on my own Mac.

Sorry dupe.

Let me say that the deployment of McAfee Endpoint Security is a royal pain in the butt. If conditions aren't 100% perfect, you'll have to dig in manually to get things to work. And if there's ever a problem doing an upgrade (which almost certain on at least a few Macs), good luck uninstalling and reinstalling. Doing anything in the admin console requires 3 advanced degrees and a sherpa to guide you. It also has problems letting known malware through as well as reporting false positives. Reporting these false positives to McAfee is an exercise in futility.
