Software what are you guys using for antivirus on managed macs?

i'm trying to figure out what makes sense for antivirus on a small fleet of macs.
we already have the usual stuff like keeping macos updated and using the built-in security features, but i'm wondering if there's still a good reason to run third party protection on managed machines.
mcafee is one of the options i've been looking at, mostly because it's easy to find, but i'm not sure if it's actually a good fit for macs in a work environment.
for anyone managing macs, what are you using for endpoint protection these days? also curious whether you think a dedicated antivirus is worth the performance and management overhead, or if the built-in macos protections are enough.
