MiguelPurizaca - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at Clear Channel
Reliable with great technical support and excellent alerts
The solution would be better if there was some kind of integration with network equipment so that we can also have visibility of everything related to the firewall or the routers or switches - not only the computers but also on other network equipment. If they could provide a solution for smartphones and for tablets that would be very helpful as we have some people accessing information from these types of devices. It could improve the security in terms of coverage as we both computers and mobile phones or tablets in use.
Yati Gharat - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Technology Officer at Litmus
Integrated analytics have improved threat visibility and reduced manual monitoring effort
One of the areas for improvement in Sophos MDR is the amount of traffic and the VPN because when we have that much load, the hardware gets a little bit heated. So they need to look into the capacity of the hardware. Functionality-wise and features-wise for Sophos MDR, we are somewhat satisfied, but there are a lot of things we don't use even. However, the critical part is there, which we use, while most other functionalities we don't require because the more complicated the configuration we do in a security fabric, the more difficult it is to handle those types of data and readings and analytics. We have enabled only the features and functions needed, leaving the rest disabled.
