Has plug-and-play capability once configured and good reporting system
The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits.

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

"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits."
"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."
"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solution's most valuable aspects, and it has the capability to detect and prevent attacks."
"This is where Sophos outclasses every other vendor."
"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."
"Overall, I would say that it is a good endpoint solution."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."
"I am pretty much sure Sophos does not have this kind of policy available."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"Technical support could be improved - quicker and better. Support is the bad side of Sophos."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"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."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"Sophos EPP Suite is cost-effective. We bought it because it costs less than other solutions we like—for example, Trend Micro and Panda Antivirus."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"The license cost for Sophos EPP Suite depends on the features you want to use. For example, if you want to use advanced features, such as web application firewalling, the cost may be higher. In general, I believe the licensing cost is reasonable."
