sophos vs mcafee vs symantec - opinions please

[jjohnsoncantell]

Greetings,

 

I am currently using sophos endpoint protection and wish to keep using it but i have been asked to requote to prove vfm. I was quoted a very competitive price for symantec endpoint and while the quote for Mcafee was well off in terms of price, as a whole group of products i would like your opinions on which of the three is best in your eyes.

 

Thanks for your views.

I think Sophos is best for the management side of things with Enterprise Console... and rolling out to clients is really easy! the pricing really all depends how many clients you have and what server licenses you need etc etc.

I use both Symantec and Sophos at different sites and really prefer Sophos.

Symantec, like all Symantec products, is mind bendingly difficult and over complex to use (though that could just be me).

The Sophos console is much easier to use and deploy to clients.

I actually prefer Kaspersky although Sophos is a close second!
