Seriously?  After all the troubles I read about SEP here and Symantec
security products in general?

 

Does anyone really really REALLY like SEP in their environment?

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
