Number One and Smartest Solution
Best solution that you can even sell over other AVs as an add on even if they are on a current contract.
Pros
It is the best software I have found for COMPLETE ransomware protection.
Cons
Price for Endpoint, Intercept X and EDR all adds up fast and can scare clients.

Sophos Intercept X
Best Antivirus on the market i really like it and i am very glad that we decided this over others.
Pros
Best Antivirus Software i ever used, the administration console it is very intuitive and easy to use, you have a lot of alerts and as a plus you have a web filter.
Cons
i really can find a Con, what i can say that i really dont like but i understand why is working that way , when you have restricted policies for external devices (usb , printers ) and you need to use one, the process to approve a usb device it is tricky and complicated.

Easy to deploy inclusive protection
The software was very easy to install and configure. We have not had any issues with viruses or malware. We also have not had anything flagged by other solutions we have tested alongside Intercept X.
Pros
For such a sophisticated software approach it was surprising how low a footprint Intercept X was on our computers and networks.
Cons
The concept of non-database driven antivirus/antispyware solutions takes some time to wrap your (and others) heads around, but once you look into the process it is quite impressive.

Simple to use
Really decent to use, generally sits quietly in the background on the endpoints but has plenty of info/reports available in the cloud management page.
Pros
The GUI for administration is relatively simple to use
Cons
Network rollout was a bit more intricate than it needed to be

Great protection, however...
Overall it is a great protection option if you are looking for a big company, depending on your work, purpose of it and if you don't mind having to constantly request access to blocked applications... other than that, good product.
Pros
Sophos offers great overall protection, specially for big companies and networks. It is worth the money and value.
Cons
Only con I found with this product, which is to me a big pet peeve, is the need to contact our IT department because Sophos tends to block several applications and software used on my work space. Only way to get authorized to continue with my work is by contacting IT (product administration) so I can get allowance to continue through these checkpoints.
