Symantec Endpoint Protection and Intercept x

Question

Hi, 
 We have been a Symantec Endpoint protection shop for a long time and just purchased Sophos Endpoint with Intercept X. The sales rep said that they can coexist on the same machine yet when you install Sophos Endpoint it uninstalls Symantec Endpoint. Now I am cautious to install Symantec on top of Sophos. Is there anyone out there running both and is there a need to run both clients any longer. It appears to me that we only need Sophos. Any suggestions out there?? Thanks.

There are 2 main components: 
 
 Intercept X - This is your Cryptoguard and Exploit mitigation piece 
 Sophos Endpoint Advanced - This is the Anti-Virus component with Control features. 
 
 Intercept X is designed to run alongside another anti-virus component such as Symantec. It sounds like you have both components. Regards, 
 Jak

Jak, 
 Thank you for all the great info. It makes more sense now. I would like to go with just one solution and use Sophos for full endpoint protection.
