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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."

"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."

"Sophos EPP Suite stands out with its user-friendly dashboard and strong web filtering features for enhanced online security."

"We bought it because it was cost-effective."

"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."

"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."

"Great cloud management."

"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."

More Sophos EPP Suite pros

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

Cons

"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."

"The logging issues must be fixed."

"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."

"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."

"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."

"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."

"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."

"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."

More Sophos EPP Suite cons

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license to use the solution."

"I would rate the price seven out of ten, for its cost-effectiveness."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."

"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."

"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."

"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."

More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The price is comparable."

"The product has average pricing."
