Sophos ranked ahead of McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro!

Sophos Endpoint Security software came up trumps in a recent independent product review by Cascadia Labs, the results found that Sophos outperformed and outshone rivals Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro. 

Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection 9.0 was also found to be the only endpoint security software to provide integrated data loss prevention, an absolute must for serious businesses. 

Cascadia Labs, compared the four leading endpoint security software packages designed for large businesses: McAfee Total Protection for Enterprise, Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection 9.0, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 and Trend Micro Office Scan 10. They found that Sophos outperformed in data protection, performance, and technical support categories. It matched Symantec, and beat McAfee and Trend Micro in installation and configuration as well as in policies and management. 

The independent review also timed each product on how long it took to scan files on-access, on-demand, and to open large PowerPoint files. Sophos was faster and excelled in low-memory situations. Cascadia Labs said: "Our testing demonstrated significant differences in the performance costs products impose on users, with Sophos being fastest overall."

 

Cascadia Labs then mystery shopped the software vendors and made several calls to each company to evaluate their ‘troubleshooting capabilities’. Sophos outperformed the others with much shorter hold times and being able to answer difficult questions on the spot. 

Cascadia went on to say: "Sophos' technical support was very good—the best of any we experienced in this review. We encountered short wait times, had no problems with gatekeepers (as we did with other companies), and quickly got answers to our questions."

Data protection is not only topical at the moment but is regarded as a real top security concern for most businesses. In the review Cascadia also rated the integrated device control and data loss prevention capabilities of each. Sophos Endpoint Security and Data Protection was the only product to include data monitoring capabilities and device control. 

With such a  glowing report is begs belief as to why Sophos would not be the logical first choice for Endpoint Security and Data Protection software by every business.
