I concur.  IMO, it is also a lot easier to manage than Symantec and McAfee.

We switched from Symantec and deployed Sophos this past summer and haven't
come across any issues and no grumbling from our student population. Support
for this has been great.

We deployed Sophos for Mac AV.   It really was a PITA with FileVault but seems
to be well support these days.  It's a tad bit annoying for an end user to
install since they have install and then enter a user/password for the
installer but that's how they make everyone pay up.
