DevOps Lead at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Reduced manual security overhead while file scanning integrates seamlessly into existing workflows
My experience with the procurement process was easy.It was really easy to buy bucket_av through the AWS Marketplace; I encountered no problems. My thoughts about the metering and billing experience are positive, as bucket_av provides their own dashboard for the volumes and data usage, so it is fairly easy to see how much data is going through and the amount of money it costs. My advice to others looking into using bucket_av is that if you want a bolt-on solution to scan S3s, I think it is a perfect solution if you do not want to modify your application code that is already using an S3 bucket. I give this product a rating of five out of five.

Ease of application management and feature richness impress
With Sophos Home, it's easy to implement; you just log in and manage the various computers as to what you want to detect. You can set up the type of security you want and reject things such as firearms, drugs, and porn, so I find it's very easy to use, very reasonably priced, and they give you Sophos Home for free when we use some of the other products that they recently changed over on the commercial side. I really don't have much comment on the banking protection or keylogger security feature, but I do realize that Sophos Home is good protection for us, and I'm just about to install a Sophos hardware firewall in our company as well.
