Im looking for recommended alternatives to ESET Endpoint

While ESET Endpoint is overall reliable & usually issue free , Im looking for alternatives

- for 10 -20 users
- easy to install , setup & administer
- Has some sort of remote Admin , that you arnt charged an extra 50% for
- some built in anti-cryto protection (claimed )
- has an uninstall tool that doesnt require safe mode for a hard removal using thie tool, for when it wont uninstall in the usuall way
Having to run an uninstall tool REMOTELY in safe mode, is just to problematic for PC's in other cities & towns

Any recommendations ?
Im looking at Bitdefender Endpoint & Webroot .

We run Sophos and it's been great. It's especially useful (but still very useful otherwise) if you have Sophos firewalls as well, as they communicate

Windows Defender plugging into MEM. Pushing out the ASR configurations, tamper and ransomware protection changes the conversation tone to remove the snigger a fair bit.

I would also go for Sophos and their endpoint protection also look at their firewall products as well.

Its good until you get a PC where ESET is corrupt & wont run or uninstall/repair .

We have been impressed with Sophos, though support can be fairly mixed, the engine is good. It's reasonable resource hungry and not super cheap. We also deploy SentinelOne a fair bit and think fairly highly of that too.

Why the mix of products, @networkn? Where does one work better than another for you?
