The solution provides endpoint detection and response with a nice-looking dashboard

The solution is easily scalable because it's in the cloud and we can push the agents using our Cafea solution. We can even deploy the applications to our remote branches easily. We currently have four people using the solution and if the number of computers increases we can scale up by increasing the number of licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I like the simplicity of this solution and the fact that it saves us time. The deployment was really straightforward and useful and I am impressed by the anti-virus endpoint detection and response offered by this solution."

"The endpoint protection is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The solution has exchange protection. It has a content control, device control, a firewall, and anti-malware as well. They are all quite valuable features for us."

"It's very light on the endpoints."

"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."

"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."

Cons

"There needs to be better integration with the environment. Especially, for the active directory and also for keeping up with the changes from Microsoft. We use a lot of Microsoft OS. I have noted that sometimes they lag behind Microsoft updates. For example, when with Windows 10. I had some issues with deploying to Windows 10 because the solution was behind in updating their own services to match the Microsoft release."

"There are blurred lines between anti-virus and endpoint detection so I would say it can be confusing when you are considering buying this program. I would like to see that being explained better to the customer."

"The database needs improvement. It needs to be updated quite a bit."

"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."

"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."

"Deployment and central management need to be improved."

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."

"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."

"The product's filtering and stability can be better."

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's a yearly cost for licensing. For us, that comes to $1,400. There are no additional costs beyond the license itself."

"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."

"I would rate the price seven out of ten, for its cost-effectiveness."

"Price-wise, it is cheap. We need to pay 1,500 to 2,000 INR per user...On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."

"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
