Switch from Fortinet/MS Defender for Endpoint to Sophos.

An external consultant that my company hired wants to replace our Fortinet Firewalls and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint EDR with Sophos FW and Sophos Endpoint.

Our M365 licenses already include Defender for Endpoint for our client devices, and we are purchasing additional licenses for our servers. This setup currently works really well for us, but the consultant wants to switch.

Does anyone have experience with Sophos? Do their EDR and firewall work well? Does their EDR also run well on non-persistent VDI setups? According to the consultant it does, but I’m skeptical.
