Automated threat response has ensured uninterrupted operations and provides clear 24x7 security visibility
One feature which we would like to have in the product is the inventory. For example, if I have the agent installed on each machine and server, why can't we fetch the inventory details from the console? If you look at the competition products such as CrowdStrike, they give clear visibility into what software is installed, what legitimate tools are installed, and what software is not even licensed or may not be secure to install. Those things are reported back to the concerned team, maybe the systems teams, and they can use it brilliantly. Unfortunately, Sophos Cybersecurity as a Service doesn't provide that kind of visibility into what software or tools are installed on a particular system. There is a feature which requires running what you call an XG script to fetch those kinds of details. However, it is not on the GUI as other competitor companies are providing. That is the one feature we really miss. In terms of service and support, I don't think there is an issue because it is already a brilliant five-star service support. The visibility feature that I already mentioned is the only primary feature which we are missing. The rest is absolutely fine. I don't think there is anything else which should be there.

Unified visibility has strengthened zero trust decisions but reporting and skills still need work
Regarding the ability of Unified Vulnerability Management to generate customizable compliance reports, it is adequate, but sometimes you still need to be able to filter whatever the report generates to ensure accuracy and have a baseline on what the report provides. You should be able to filter and also take action on critical and non-critical reports. You get a lot of reports, but filtering them is essential. The negative side of Unified Vulnerability Management is that you need a skill set that is not readily available. You require a lot of training and personnel that understand the technology, so getting the skill set is a major issue for managing the technology.
