Sophos MDR Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Operations Technical Lead at IT Supporters4.5I've found Sophos MDR to be a stable, scalable, and effective security solution with excellent support and ROI, though it's a bit resource-intensive and could improve integration and reporting features. Overall, it's reliable for varying organization sizes.
Chief Technology Officer at Litmus4.0We use Sophos MDR for its effective security analytics, alerts, and AI features, which save time and reduce manual work. While performance during heavy VPN traffic could improve, overall it's cost-effective, simple to deploy, and meets our needs.
Network Security Engineer at IT Solution5.0I’ve used Sophos MDR for two years and find it stable, scalable, and responsive, with 24/7 monitoring, fast quarantining, and detailed root-cause reports that reduce incidents and downtime. Pricing seems fair, though I’d like integrations with other tools.
Business Development Manager at StarOne IT Solutions4.0I use Sophos MDR to provide 24/7 monitoring for clients without dedicated IT teams. Its most valuable feature is offering an OEM monitoring service, acting as a cost-effective mini SOC for small businesses, delivering significant ROI.
Chief Security Officer at Duxbury5.0I provide Sophos MDR as a comprehensive managed detection and response service, offering flexibility with multi-vendor support and extensive telemetry from various security products. Improvement is needed in more integration packs and vendor flexibility. Deployment is on AWS.
Director at Eon Networks4.5We primarily use Sophos MDR in the SMB and financial sectors, where rapid response is invaluable for data protection. Improvements are needed in simplifying reports for management. Sophos MDR was our first OEM solution, with no prior alternatives explored.
Technical engineer at Devoteam Management Consulting4.0I use Sophos MDR to protect services and laptops, finding it effective for threat mitigation with features like desktop dilation and security synchronization. However, it lacks integration and a ready incident response plan. I've previously used Palo Alto and CrowdStrike.
Information Technology Specialist at stelios@biolandenergy.com4.0I use Sophos MDR nearly every day, particularly during incidents. Its automated threat hunting and integration with other cybersecurity solutions are beneficial, though reporting might need improvement. We switched from Bitdefender for better compatibility with our existing firewall software.
