Re: question about Avira vs Sophos AV on a Mac

Tim,

We use Sophos Endpoint on our University owned Macs and recommend Sophos to personally owned Macs.  I can’t speak to 
Avira as I haven’t used it, but we’ve been happy with Sophos.  While it’s not a perfect product, Sophos Support is 
great to work with and is very responsive to issues with the product.

Thanks,

All,
 
If you had to choose between putting Avira or Sophos as an AV product on
student, personally-owned Macs, which would you choose?
