Room For Improvement

Cybereason needs better support, simpler deployment, and enhanced features, including automation, dashboard design, and compatibility improvements.
Sophos EPP Suite needs improvements in migration, resource usage, integration, support, and user interface for better performance and compatibility.
I think there should be templates in place so I do not have to make everything from scratch; having templates for NATing, de-NATing, and LAN to WAN rules would save us time.

Users have noted that daily upload limits per device, overall data lake storage capacity tied to licenses, and daily API query limits can be restrictive.

Web filtering helps provide protection by allowing me to block unwanted and unauthorized websites from Sophos EPP Suite, which helps prevent unauthorized intrusion, thus keeping our organization servers secure.
Assistant Manager, Information Technology at Swades Foundation
The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is that it works on very low configuration, which is actually the best feature because if we go for SecureRight, it requires a heavy configuration to work.

User-friendly platform and dashboards provide comprehensive insights
I would like to see improvements on the operational side, specifically in grouping. Currently, I can group sensors into a custom group and assign policies, but I feel it is a shame that I cannot create groups of groups with inheritance. This would be useful for organizing multiple sites or countries into a single group containing multiple sub-groups. Additionally, in the whitelisting case, if I want one policy to have specific whitelisting, but not all the machines in that policy to have it, I could use multiple groups belonging to the same parent group. It is a bit disappointing that whitelisting can only be done via policies and not for individual machines. If I need to whitelist for only one machine, I must create a specific policy. This poses a challenge with two thousand endpoints, making it nearly impossible to create two thousand different policies.

Experience significant threat prevention advancements with user-friendly deployment
The feature is called relay server, and some people refer to it as a cache server. The Sophos EPP Suite is scalable. Some customers in banks typically have 5,000 to 7,000 users. One customer started with 1,000 users and has now extended to 4,000 users. Some customers are using up to 8,000 users without any issues. Regarding AI elements in the Sophos EPP Suite, firewalls have already introduced AI features. They have integrated AI models similar to ChatGPT in firewalls. These AI features should be introduced in endpoint XDR as well. Key features for comprehensive detection and prevention include advanced threat prevention, ransomware protections, exploit prevention, and AI-powered detections. Extended visibility and data analysis include cross-product data correlations. They have a data lake, live discover, and threat graphs. They also offer AI case summary and AI common analysis, accessible from Sophos Central, which is the management portal for Sophos XDR. Sophos Central serves as one central management portal for managing firewalls, endpoint, Sophos encryption, and mobile device management solutions. This centralized management is particularly appealing to customers.
