Having used both I'd go with something other than either of these two solutions. 


Both deep dive onto your local computers making them impossible to remove, Should the need arise you'll end up having to reimage equipment to fully remove the products. Bloated and they dig their hands into everything on the local machines. 


If these are your only two choices, then go with Sophos as it's a MUCH better product.

If you refer to the MITRE Attack analysis, BitDefender is the best, in terms of 100% accuracy and the most number of detections, for the second consecutive year.

@Udhayakumar Murugan,


First, I don't know the budget of yours (which is important) and if you have a budget then you must choose two different vendors to protect you. 


And you must have a hardware firewall - it's your first protection layer and you can choose Sophos firewall + Kaspersky endpoint or FortiGate firewall + Sophos endpoint. 


My advice to you: FortiGate firewall and Kaspersky endpoint.

I would recommend going with Sophos Intercept X Advance. Additionally if you invest in Sophos XG/XGS Firewall, you can avail the benfit of Sophos Synchronized Security wherein the Firewall and Intercept X Advanced share the threat intelligence and provide a comprehensive cover with single window management using Sophos Central.
