[QUOTE="notabot, post: 796474, member: 75970"] that’s why I called it effective as opposed to real whitelisting, in Sophos we just have no clue what the cloud component is doing though For the cloud component in specific it’s configurability and testing as well There’s are other minuses, MS has 2FA, Sophos doesn’t , ASR-type functionality is missing, WD has taken the extra step with the sandbox to reduce the AV’s own attack surface while Sophos hasn’t. Protected Folders is also something I like in WD and Sophos could add on top of behavioral rsnsomware protection. For the other modules there are no testing files either and lack of participation in tests is not reassuring either. Overall I don’t feel it’s on par with WD at the moment, the only pluses are the convenience the web management dashboard and possibly the web filtering. Hitman Pro is nice but anti exploit is needed for 4-5 apps and creating Exploit Guard settings for such a small number of apps is not an issue. Windows Defender at the moment just looks like a more complete suite and more importantly it’s more transparent. If I were to pick a suite instead of WD today probably I’d probably go with another product [/QUOTE]
