Oggetto: Enterprise client security - Sophos vs. ???



Client is looking at Sophos " Endpoint Security and Control" as a companywide 
standard and asking whether I have any alternatives.  I've been trying to steer 
them to Nod32 but looking at the Sophos and ESET websites, it doesn't appear 
that ESET has an equivalent product.

 

In particular, the Sophos product claims NAC capabilities, i.e.

 

» Compliance reporting

» Patch and vulnerability assessment

» Enforcement

 

Translated, the Sophos product will verify that MS security patches are being 
applied, and (presumably) shut down network access if something is wrong 
(presumably shutting down access to everything BUT WSUS / WU servers using its 
built-in firewall).

 

It also claims the ability to block "unauthorized software such as IM, VoIP, 
P2P and games."  Don't see that in the ESET solution either.

 

Any real world experience out there with "Endpoint Security and Control", and 
if so, do you like it?  Or alternatives that compete against this Sophos 
product and do a better job?  

 

thanks all,

Carl
