Hi Frank,

I’m looking for input on what other schools are using for End Point Protection, why they choose the product they are 
using, and what they like or dislike about that solution.

We will be doing some demos soon, but I like to hear about other experiences have been like.

We want to deploy on all user and server endpoints (windows, linux, and MAC).

Thanks,
Erick

We are using Sophos's on-prem solution, and have been happy with it.

are there specific questions that you have?

Thank You
Frank

Hello!

We are looking at some of the Next Gen Antivirus solutions. I know there are quite a few players in the game, but I’m 
currently interested in CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, Cylance, Carbon Black, and Palo Alto Traps.

I would love to hear about what others schools are using and how the experience has been. I know some players have EDR 
(Endpoint Detection and Response) built in or as an additional component. I’m strictly looking at the Antivirus at the 
moment, but do like the idea of being able to add EDR (or additional features) down the road if it is not built into 
the core product.

We are currently using Windows Defender Antivirus.

Thanks for the input!
