Cost-effective security management with a user-friendly interface, efficient resource utilization, and rapid response capabilities
While Sophos Central has demonstrated commendable functionality, there is room for improvement in the realm of automation. Specifically, addressing ransomware attacks often requires leveraging external tools, deploying virtual machines, and utilizing supplementary tools like Caliper Analytics for operations and security communication. The integration of these essential functionalities directly into the software would represent a significant enhancement, streamlining the incident response process and bolstering the platform's comprehensive threat mitigation capabilities. Furthermore, a valuable addition to future releases could involve augmenting the new screen component with advanced capabilities such as XML utilization and rule integration. This enhancement, especially pertinent to tools involved in sandboxing and virtual machines within the investigation process, would greatly streamline the analysis of logs and reports. This would prove particularly beneficial in the context of email analysis, spam attack detection, and other critical security aspects. By incorporating these features, Sophos Central could further elevate its utility in facilitating in-depth security analyses and response strategies.

The CREM feature is an absolutely essential feature that helps us meet security requirements
Since we started using Trend Vision One, we've been able to enhance our security posture significantly. Trend Vision One has improved significantly over time in providing centralized visibility and control. It started as a set of individual products, but now it feels like one integrated solution. This reduces the need for interfaces or multiple analysis tools. That's why we pursued the one-platform strategy. Trend Vision One has definitely helped consolidate our use of security vendors. We previously used standalone products for endpoint and email protection that weren't integrated. Now, we get the benefits of an integrated solution. I'd estimate we're 50–70% better in security now than we were two years ago. The Cyber Risk Exposure Management (CREM)feature is absolutely essential. Even though we're not critical infrastructure, the NIS2 directive gives us security guidelines. CREM helps us meet these requirements. It is very important to our organization that Trend Vision One integrates AI into the platform. Pattern recognition in forensic data is no longer manageable by humans due to the volume of events. Machine learning is essential to process these and filter what needs human attention. Trend Vision One has improved our organization significantly. Security tasks used to be manual. Now, technology prevents issues or supports staff in detecting them. This shift from manual to technical solutions greatly increased our security. Trend Vision One has reduced the time we spend detecting and responding to threats. I'd say we're 80% faster than before. The platform gives us consolidated data upfront, so we don't have to search for event clues manually. Trend Vision One has helped reduce false alarms. I'd estimate a 50–60% time saving. We have more alerts now than years ago, but also better systems to handle them, making the whole process more efficient. Trend Vision One has helped reduce our cyber risk overall. We now know where gaps are before they become problems, whereas in the past we had to guess. That's a massive improvement. When it comes to operations, the CREM solution helps us identify vulnerabilities in systems. If we patch them, they disappear from the reports—this gives us actionable insights, which is incredibly helpful. It took about half a year to realize the benefits of Trend Vision One after implementation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the significant advantages of Sophos is its affordability compared to other technologies like Check Point and Fortinet."
"It's highly valuable as it ensures that no unauthorized installations occur without the IT team's permission, maintaining a secure environment."
"The tool enables me to see the security of my customers’ PCs at a glance."
"The tool improves security and saves time."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that we use it predominantly for monitoring and anomaly detection."
"The standout feature is its focus on indexing, primarily designed for managing reports and logs from 500 to 1,000 endpoints, including Windows 10 hosts within the network."
"The product is easy to use."
"The level of protection offered by this antivirus product is highly commendable."
"The user interface is very good."
"I like XDR's workbench feature and observed attack technique. It generates an alert once certain conditions are met. For example, let's say there's a threat called malicious.exe being deployed on your system. It will generate an alert with information like the file path, location, hash, etc. You also see a relational matrix showing how that file was executed and which processes were installed."
"With Trend Vision One, my favorite feature is the app they provide; it simplifies things and clarifies what's going on inside your environment, with a click of a button, you can see what's happening and mitigate very fast."
"I love everything about the solution, especially the XDR features, the attack surface management, and the workbench alerts. It oversees vulnerabilities among the system and devices, prioritizing areas that need patching."
"The workbench alerts provide valuable insights into attack chains and relevant information, while Observer techniques give a comprehensive overview of ongoing activities."
"It is a stable product. It works very well."
"The centralized visibility is good."
"The proactive approach is the best feature."
 

Cons

"The product does not have a dedicated MFA."
"The product's firewall servers and dashboard need improvement."
"SSID authentication has to be improved."
"The current service level is not as efficient as desired, but we acknowledge that it presents an area for improvement, particularly in terms of support concentration."
"I don't have a Sophos firewall or many products that appear in the console, even though I don't have them enabled."
"There were challenges we faced with generating reports for the physical firewall in certain instances."
"The solution must provide a separate app for Tamper Protection."
"The tool needs to improve its pricing."
"The information captured by Trend Vision One needs to be more detailed."
"I'd like to see alert time reduction so that they show up on the dashboard faster."
"The solution only supports Windows and Mac. It would be helpful if it could support other OS, such as Linux."
"The only disappointing aspect is that every time new features are adopted, additional credits are required, which could push the budget over. This practice should really be reconsidered by Trend."
"They are planning on adding the Security Playbooks as a complete feature. In the preview mode, it is available; however, it is not released."
"It is a bit slow to implement kernel support on the Linux side. When doing patching and upgrades on our Linux servers, we often find that the Trend agent doesn't support the kernel version."
"There are limitations in terms of threat response actions."
"While blocking an IP address restricts access for 30 days, it eventually becomes accessible again."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is on a device basis."
"The product is expensive. However, you can get discounts for over 100 users."
"The pricing is highly affordable, with no additional costs."
"It is not cheap, it is expensive. The price is too much."
"The pricing is very competitive. When compared to other vendors like Fortinet, Sophos stands out, especially in terms of firewall and endpoint pricing."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"It offers the most competitive pricing compared to other vendors."
"Trend Micro recently switched from a license-based pricing model to a credit system, which caused some initial frustration during my renewal."
"Trend Micro's cost is higher than other solutions. That is the main reason why we need to switch to another solution."
"Vision One's pricing is extremely competitive. They're probably the lowest-cost provider that has this feature set."
"From a pricing standpoint, they're a really good negotiator and they'll work with you."
"The pricing of the solution is okay. There is a need for me to look into the new pricing plan introduced by the solution recently."
"When I compare it to its peers that can do the same, it is cost-effective."
"I find it to be a cost-efficient platform."
"It's relatively well-priced."
