Unlocking and uninstalling the solution is a hassle, but it protects against zero-day threats
Pros and Cons
  • "The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
  • "We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for our internal antivirus protection and traceability. One of the main reasons we use the solution is to identify problems in case of any issues with the endpoint or cyber-attacks.

What is most valuable?

The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall.

What needs improvement?

We do not quite like the product. There are a lot of limitations to it. It is a hassle every time we want to unlock it. We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint. It is troublesome to uninstall too.

Sometimes, we need to call support because the product doesn’t work properly. There are limitations to the product’s analytics and traceability too.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for about two years.

Centralized management, enhanced access, and good feedback from customers
Pros and Cons
  • "The central management console is valuable, as it consolidates everything into one place, allowing users to access logs and events without visiting multiple websites or consoles."
  • "Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive."

What is our primary use case?

We have been working with Sophos products for the last seven to eight years, providing a complete stack to customers. We are selling everything except cloud security, including hardware, software security, mobile security, endpoint security, and gateway security appliances.

How has it helped my organization?

We are promoting Sophos products, and the feedback is always positive. The central management console means everything is accessible in one central location, so users do not need to visit multiple websites or consoles to check logs and events.

What is most valuable?

The central management console is valuable, as it consolidates everything into one place, allowing users to access logs and events without visiting multiple websites or consoles.

What needs improvement?

Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been working with Sophos for the last seven to eight years.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For the Indian market, we feel it is slightly expensive.

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Integration within Sophos is pretty good but not a very specialized product for the Endpoint
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
  • "I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

What is our primary use case?

We sell all Sophos products. We are a distributor. So, I only see the business from the partner's perspective.

We sell the entire EPP product range of Sophos.

What is most valuable?

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

The integration within Sophos is pretty good. It is acceptable if you talk about integration with other SIEMs or other technologies, but it is EPP.

What needs improvement?

It's not a very specialized product for the Endpoint. It's interesting if you are a customer, you buy the next-generation firewall, you buy everything from Sophos, and you have a completely integrated view. And then you don't care about the fact that probably there is a specialized product that can do something more.

Sophos needs to have better CNA and better software solutions.

I would also like to see more integration with different platforms. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a six out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our customers are mainly medium-sized companies. There is also a mix of some small companies, as we are in Italy and have very few large companies.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are pretty good. Even they're not an Italian company, they now have a very large support for the Italian company. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Normally, the business partner that chooses to sell it is because they use Sophos, they know Sophos, and it's pretty accessible in terms of the features that the product has. 

Honestly, Sophos is not our gold mine, it's a product just like another.

If I were to recommend any endpoint, it would be Cylance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

It's not a very specialized product for the Endpoint. It's interesting if you are a customer, you buy the next-generation firewall, you buy everything from Sophos, and you have a completely integrated view. And then you don't care about the fact that probably there is a specialized product that can do something more.

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is an acceptable product but probably not the best you can buy in terms of endpoints. It could be very interesting if you have a complete vision of Sophos products, just like Fortinet.

It is acceptable. You have to consider you want to be a general cybersecurity company. 

So, for specific products, you can find someone who could be more aggressive in terms of being aligned to the latest kind of attack or something like that. 

If you consider the generalist vendor in cybersecurity, just like Fortinet, just like Sophos, they are pretty good.

Scalable platform with a helpful technical support team
Pros and Cons
  • "Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
  • "There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."

What is our primary use case?

We use the product to protect our endpoints, including PCs, laptops, and servers, from threats like malware, viruses, and grayware. It is a smart and well-integrated solution. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect of the product is stability, particularly when properly sized for endpoint use.

What needs improvement?

There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate the platform's stability a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have ten companies as our customers for Sophos EPP Suite. It is a scalable platform.

How are customer service and support?

The technical team is very smart, intelligent, and helpful.

How was the initial setup?

I followed the step-by-step on cloud implementation process mentioned in their technical documentation.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We've explored various vendors like Sophos and Kaspersky, among others, to meet our security needs.

Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks. It is a good solution for smaller companies. One key feature is the seamless integration between Sophos EPP Suite and the firewall. When a compromised host is identified, this information is swiftly relayed to the firewall, enabling proactive protection for other endpoints and machines across our network.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a ten out of ten. It is a useful tool in terms of availability. We can renew or buy new licenses within a minute.

Pros and Cons
  • "The product is stable."
  • "The user interface is not responsive."

What is our primary use case?

Before Sophos, we had a lot of intrusions and software antivirus impressions but we haven't had such issues since we brought in Sophos.

What is most valuable?

Sophos provides an extra layer of protection.

What needs improvement?

The user interface is not responsive.

For how long have I used the solution?

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

1000 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup may be done in a day with the help of one person.

I rate the initial setup a six out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is expensive.

I rate the product’s pricing an eight out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

What other advice do I have?

You need to have your Sophos EPP Suite license, software, and services ready to deploy.

Sophos is a good tool, but it is expensive.

The solution effectively addresses posing malware threats
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for endpoint security to protect critical positions within our organization. This involves securing connectivity and network access for these positions. Due to the pandemic, we had to limit on-site operations, but now we plan to extend this security to other users as well, including normal users. This expansion will include firewall protection for endpoints to ensure comprehensive network security.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors. Installing the product on these systems can lead to slowdowns due to resource consumption. If the product's resource demands can be reduced, it would greatly improve the user experience, especially for end users with less powerful hardware. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have worked with Sophos EPP Suite for almost five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability eight out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are no issues with scalability, so I will rate it an eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We seek support for the product through a local vendor who in turn contacts Sophos.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Sophos is quite cost-effective for our organization’s needs. It also has local support and that is why we use it, compared to other software like Cisco. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

While currently, we don’t need assistance, in the future, we might require assistance from integrators or other solution providers due to the increasing complexity of our organization. As we move towards face-to-face setups, additional requirements might arise.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the product an eight out of ten, overall. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Synchronized protection, reliable, but better integrated intelligence needed
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
  • "We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."

What is our primary use case?

Sophos EPP Suite can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise.

I am using Sophos EPP Suite for security.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection.

What needs improvement?

We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature.

The synchronization security should be improved or optimizing the use of the Sophos XGS firewall and endpoints. It's unnecessary to activate both web filters in this scenario. More integrated intelligence added to all of the solutions would beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for approximately five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Sophos EPP Suite is a scalable solution.

We have over 50 Companies, with 30 to 300 Users, that use EPP. About 10 engineers can manage it.

My customers are small and medium-sized.

I rate the scalability of Sophos EPP Suite a seven out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

The support from Sophos EPP Suite is poor. Their support is difficult to get a hold of and takes a long time. The support has been the same for years without improvement.

I rate the support from Sophos EPP Suite a four out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Sophos EPP Suite is of a medium range of difficulty. It took us four days to complete the implementation.

For optimal integration across all layers, it's important to install and configure all solutions appropriately.

What about the implementation team?

We use two people to implement this solution for our customers.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

have some good presales consultants in Switzerland.

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a seven out of ten.

An endpoint protection solution that demands significant resources to operate
Pros and Cons
  • "We bought it because it was cost-effective."
  • "Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."

What is our primary use case?

Sophos EPP Suite is deployed on our laptops and servers for antivirus protection. We also use it for deploying patches to the endpoint devices. We are also using it as our asset management tool to see how many laptops we have, their names, and their locations.

What is most valuable?

We bought it because it was cost-effective.

What needs improvement?

Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for about one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sophos EPP Suite is relatively stable, but it uses a lot of resources.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Sophos EPP Suite is a scalable product. We have about 2,000 users in our organization.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward, but it takes about a week or two to deploy it and not more than that.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented this solution ourselves.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Sophos EPP Suite is cost-effective. We bought it because it costs less than other solutions we like—for example, Trend Micro and Panda Antivirus.

What other advice do I have?

I wouldn't recommend this product to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Sophos EPP Suite a four.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
