Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

Sabbir Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Pros

"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."

"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client."
"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."

Cons

"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"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 update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."

"It is an expensive solution."
