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.

Though support needs improvement, the tool is easy to maintain and scale up
Veritas Desktop and Laptop Option's server and GUI are of an old style that could be improved. In the solution, the number of errors we have are not so intuitive to fix, because of which an older person like me needs to be here, making it the last and worst thing of the solution. The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement. I would have mentioned that Veritas needs to make their solution available in the cloud, but I am sure they already have it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"Sophos EPP Suite stands out with its user-friendly dashboard and strong web filtering features for enhanced online security."
"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the central administration and management."
"The Sophos people here in South Africa are very helpful."
"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The solution provides an easy GUI allowing you to use it as a backup and restore your computer whenever you want, following administrator rules."
 

Cons

"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"The management console need improvement."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
"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 could be enhancements made to the DLP."
"Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
"The support team of the product lacks skills and needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."
"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."
"A yearly subscription has to be purchased or made towards the licensing cost of the solution. The solution is an affordable or an economical one for corporate houses."
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"Pricing could always be lower. It costs around $120 per seat per year."
"I would rate the price seven out of ten, for its cost-effectiveness."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
