Moving from McAfee to Sophos

Jay Parmar over 7 years ago

Hi all,

I am in the process of moving our AV solution from McAfee 8.x to Sophos Central.

I was wondering if anyone has done this before in their environment and what their experience was?

We have approx. 7,000 machines which are 90% Windows 7 and 10% Windows 10.

We will also be using SCCM to deploy the clients and we also use SCCM OSD for our build process.

Any input is welcomed.

many thanks,

Jay

Hello Jay,

haven't done it, don't use Central, was about to post my reply when the Community went down, meanwhile jak has replied - nevertheless some any input:

First of all, the Sophos Central forum is likely the better place (even though jak has found the post here [;)]) for this and subsequent questions about installation and central management.

As to SCCM please see the Methods for automating the deployment of Sophos Central ... article.
Do you already have a plan how to remove McAfee? Some "third-party security software" can automatically be removed.

Hi jak, QC,

Thank you for your replies....apologies about the delayed response, had a bit of a hold up on the project.

So, I've successfully been able to deploy the Sophos agent/client using SCCM.

I used the command below which does a good job of removing McAfee and alerting the users to restart their machine once Sophos has been installed.

SophosInstall.exe -q -tps remove

Has worked well for me so far.

I'm sure i'll have more questions as I widen my deployment.
