Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The setup process is straightforward.""Security-wise, it's one of the best.""The solution can block a virus attack and prevent it from moving across the system.""The most valuable feature is the synchronized security. It's a unique feature on the market at this time only offered by Sophos. As a reseller, we often win bids and get clients because of this unique trademark feature.""It is seamless and easy to install. We haven't encountered any recent issues.""The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks.""The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution."

Trend Micro has very good deals and support - also in the Middle East.""Their ransomware protection is useful."

Cons
"The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing.""It's a good product, but some are not happy with the boot BCN, and the point-to-point VPN requires the best protection.""It would be ideal if the solution had different features within one agent.""The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems.""The dashboards lack sufficient information.""If it's possible, they should make all the features available because it's got a lot of features on offer, but you have to buy the license in order to add those features to the normal Endpoint. If they could make all those features available and/or offer a bundling option it would be better.""Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review.""In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."

More Sophos SafeGuard Cons →

"This solution is weak and cannot detect the latest ransomware.""The iOS protection: This is because Apple will “close” your smartphone.""There have been some users who have been complaining about the interface being unfriendly and when the application software is installed on their phone making their mobile slow.""Sometimes, when generating random numbers to our mobile feed the random number doesn't work. We mainly deal with QR codes because of this. If they could fix the random number generator that would be helpful.""There is always room for improvement in security.""Trend Micro tends to drain the battery running in the background, but apart from that, they need to improve their updates.""Contact Backup.""When the agent upgrades itself, it loses some settings and they need to be re-enabled manually."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing costs depend on the series. For example, XG 85 can be around $200. If you go to ACC or to a four or five-year enterprise solution, you will find these devices can cost $10,000. It depends on the series."
  • "Licensing for this solution is on a yearly basis."
  • "The licenses are dependant on the number of users and computers you have to protect."
  • "We have a yearly license with Sophos which is around $1000-$1200 or so per annum. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
  • "Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing could be better."
  • "It would be great if the price of the solution was lower than the current price. If we are to sell this particular solution to smaller businesses and not just enterprise businesses it needs to be lower."
  • "We pay around $10 a year for each endpoint, including support."
  • "Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."

  • "Very cheap in cost"
  • "Each license costs about $10/year. It's fairly inexpensive because it's a new product. In Pakistan, no more than two or three companies can apply for mobile protection right now. I don't know if there are ancillary costs above the standard licensing fee."
  • "We have a license that we renew yearly."
