Deploy Intercept X and get rid of other endpoint solutions in AD domain

Hi,

I am considering to replace existing Endpoint Security products (Webroot, ESET and Panda) with Sophos Intercept X on a dozen of customers. They all run Windows AD environment, most of clients are desktops in local domain. Is there any reliable automtion method to deploy Intercept X and uninstall other products in one go?

Thanx, Rutvik Chavda , figured it out, tested. Installation goes smooth, but previous AV will probably be removed via old cloud console, not a big deal.

One more question, if I may under this thread:

I manage many companies. All other AV consoles had an option to sort/create/view/manage endpoints by companies, either creating Company containers, or Groups or something, and they were sorted in such manner all around web interface. But here with Sophos CENTRAL I only see menu COMPUTERS AND DEVICES and they are all there mixed up. I cannot display them by group or something.

Even more...under USERS there is really no way to know, which user belongs to which company, except for those, who are members of AD domain. I guess when I will have hundreds or thousands of users there, it will be total mess. Maybe CENTRAL console is not made for such approach?

What's the proper way to organize endpoints by companies I manage?
BTW...I guess some usernames or device names might also duplicate in this mixed view, so it is essential for me to have some groups or containers, AND also to manage them all from my central cloud (...NOT each company by itself with different usernames and passwords).

Thank you for reaching out to the community forum.

Sophos Central alone can't make this possible, but all of this can be achieved when you set up the Sophos Central Enterprise Dashboard by creating sub-estates for every company you manage under your Entperise Central Account. You can manage them gradually.
For reference you may check this link below.

I'll drop you a direct message on your community account to inquire further about this.
