Sophos
Sophos provides endpoint, firewall, and cloud security for mid-market and SMB, with Sophos Central as the unified management platform. Sophos MDR is a 24/7 managed detection and response service. Pricing through MSP and reseller channels; Intercept X starts around $28/endpoint/year.
Sophos is the right choice for mid-market companies that want integrated endpoint and firewall management from one vendor at reasonable cost. Security teams that need deep threat hunting telemetry or best-in-class SOC capabilities should upgrade to CrowdStrike or SentinelOne despite the higher cost.
