Sophos EPP Suite Reviews

Sophos EPP Suite is used for endpoint security.

The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response.

Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources.

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

Sophos EPP Suite is a stable solution.

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

We have approximately 25,000 users using this solution in my company.

The support from Sophos EPP Suite is very good. They handle any ticket we have had with professionalism. 

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

Positive

I previously used Trend Micro. Sophos EPP Suite is better because it is a single platform for managing. For example, you can manage your endpoints and access.

The initial setup of Sophos EPP Suite is done by creating an account with Sophos. Then we download and install it into the Windows platform or a network platform. It is an easy installation but it takes a long time.

We did the implementation of Sophos EPP Suite with our team of 20 engineers.

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

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a nine out of ten.

We are using Sophos EPP Suite for web and application control, and antivirus

The most valuable feature Sophos EPP Suite is that it protects the computer beyond the premise. Whether the user is at home, in the office, or traveling, you are able to apply the policies as the user moves.

Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion.

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

Sophos EPP Suite is stable because once we do the deployment, rarely do you receive corruptions. Additionally, once you deploy something on the cloud, it automatically applies to the client as long as the system is online.

Sophos EPP Suite is highly scalable. We have close to 40 computers using this solution.

I have contacted the support and I am satisfied with the speed of the answers.

Sophos EPP Suite could be easier to implement and it is slow with the web installer. However, it depends on the internet speed.

There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license.

I would recommend this solution to others. The solution is highly scalable and we are using it in two companies and it works very well. You have control of what you want to be done or applied within your multiple sites.

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a nine out of ten.

We use Sophos EPP Suite to prevent our clients from getting malware.

It was successful in preventing malware distribution. We have a large number of clients, over 13,000 in total, and we serve the majority of them.

Sophos EPP Suite doesn't really have a lot of features.

This signature-based malware prevention method is a little out of date. We are currently attempting to migrate to a newer, cloud-based solution in which we not only use signature-based antivirus scanning but also EDR with processes and similar tools to better recognize potential attacks, which is what the actual version cannot do.

It has not been developed in the last few years.

There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have.

macOS is incompatible.

I have been working with Sophos EPP Suite for 10 years. It was already in place when I joined the company.

The server has never been as stable as we would have liked. It is one of the reasons why we would like to move away from Sophos and toward a completely new solution.

The support is deteriorating.

We use the previous version, which will be phased out next year, the Sophos Central console. It's Intercept X's on-premises version.

The initial deployment was completed entirely in-house, either through our software distribution, Barramundi or through the use of any custom script.

The infrastructure is currently maintained by myself, a single person, under the current solution. We have a central server console to which all clients connect, but we also have 14 support groups with their own admins for each department, where they manage their own devices.

In terms of pricing, it's not because I don't care about the cost; I simply tell them what we require, and someone else will obtain the necessary license.

This problem is that it is no longer implementable because, as previously stated, it was out of sale last year and will be obsolete by next year. If they have to go to the new central solution intercept one, which I have only had limited experience with up to now, So there's nothing I could really say to other potential customers.

Keeping in mind our environment, I must say that we have a very complex environment at our university. And from that perspective, I would rate Sophos EPP Suite a five out of ten.

It's an antivirus that can protect users and servers. It protects you from malware, from exploits, from viruses. 

It's like any other antivirus solution, however, it's an advanced one. It has AI, Artificial Intelligence. It's lightweight, it doesn't affect your PC or your server, so it's something good to have. It's a must to have in this era. It's something very important to have for your users or even for your home, although they do offer Sophos Home for home. The normal one is for the business.

It works great. 

It's easy to deploy.

The product gives you a full picture of what's happening on your endpoint, on your PC, or your server. You can trace where the virus came from, you can put rules in place, et cetera. You have full control.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is great.

We have found the technical support to be quite helpful.

There are no missing features. We're fine with its capabilities.

It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit.

I've been using the solution for eight years.

We've found the product to be quite stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The solution is easy to scale. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

As a partner, currently, we have about 30 customers using the solution. It all depends on the partners in my region. I'm in Kuwait. Every time you have to deploy, the customer would need to get three quotations, and then they choose the better price. 

Technical support is great. We have no complaints. 

The initial setup is easy. it takes about ten minutes to deploy. It's very fast and easy.

One person is enough in terms of the amount of personnel you need for implementation. However, if you have a large environment, you might require more assistance. For example, if you have hundreds of computers, you'll want more help. Likely you would need three for an enterprise setup and one for an SMB.

As an integrator, we can implement the solution for our clients.

Every organization, including Sophos or Microsoft, has its own pricing scheme. For Sophos, they have discounts for partners. That said, when looking at other markets, there are places they could reduce costs a bit. Mostly, the price is affordable, yet having more discounts will definitely bring more customers.

Customers must pay a yearly licensing fee. You can go monthly, however, it's cheaper to choose a yearly payment option. All of our customers go for annual licensing, not monthly.  

As a customer, you can choose whether to go on cloud or on-premise. We prefer to be on the cloud as it has better features now.

We are a partner and integrator.

I'd rate the solution to other companies. We recommend it to clients all of the time.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. 

The product's filtering and stability can be better. 

The solution is not stable. 

The product's scalability is okay. We have more than 50 users for the product. 

The escalation matrix is slow since the engineers are not knowledgeable about the product. They are not able to troubleshoot the issues. They can only do the standard steps and procedures. 

The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete. 

The tool's licensing costs are yearly and not expensive. 

I would rate the product a six out of ten. 

I am a managed service provider of the solution.

The solution’s price is very attractive for our customers. The product’s ease of deployment is its best feature.

The product must consolidate all the consoles. The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering.

We have been using the solution for five years.

I rate the stability a seven out of ten. Sometimes we face issues because the clustering does not work.

The product is scalable. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten. The product has to work on improving the hybrid mode. Our clients are small, medium, and large enterprises.

Support is good. It could be faster.

Neutral

The solution is easy to install.

The time taken for deployment depends upon the number of users. We can deploy the product in 15 minutes per client. We need one person to deploy the solution and maintain it. We need two hours a week to maintain the solution.

The product’s price is fine. I rate the pricing a five out of ten. The product has a yearly licensing fee. There are no additional costs associated with the product.

The solution is a good choice for people who do not have a budget and want to have a good product. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

I use the solution to reach the company's VPN site and check for security insights.

The solution is easy to use and understand.

The solution could be more stable.

I have been using the solution for one year.

It is a scalable solution. We have 100 executives using it in our company. Also, we might plan to increase the usage.

The solution is easy to set up and takes ten minutes to complete. It requires five to six executives for deployment and maintenance.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We use the solution in situations where clients need broad security. We use it as a firewall, HA, and as a VPN.

The solution integrates well with the Sophos Firewall. We have the advantage of better security and blocking capabilities. It can be locked with a firewall even if there's no antivirus. If something is not running, it can still block and quarantine content. 

There are a lot of great features.

There is very effective protection.

We can integrate it with other apps. We integrate it ourselves. The integration process is very easy.

The antivirus and endpoint security are good. It enhances protection.

It is not a heavy product. It's very light on the endpoints. 

The solution is stable. 

Technical support is good. 

The setup is easy.

It offers good pricing. 

There could be enhancements made to the DLP. It should have similar features that CrowdStrike or SentinelOne. They can protect the endpoint more effectively. Both of these solutions are better than Sophos; however, in our region, the pricing of Sophos is better. 

I've used the solution for five years. 

The stability is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. I'd rate stability eight out of ten. 

I don't have many large customers and therefore did not really test the scalability. That said, Sophos has the ability to place the solution in remote sites to provide more security to distant endpoints. 

We do not implement the solution with big customers. 

We have 13 customers using the solution. 

Sophos' support is good. We haven't had issues when dealing with them.

Positive

I'm also familiar with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, which are more expensive even though they have more useful features. 

We had used SonicWall as well. However, the pricing was not ideal, and the support was not good. The appliance of SonicWall does not have too much processing power either. It did not meet our needs. Sophos has a smaller footprint. We can use a smaller Sophos appliance compared to SonicWall. This made it cheaper while offering more processing power. 

The deployment in a company of my size takes less than one day. 

The management console is in the cloud, which makes it very easy to access. 

There were approximately seven people involved in the deployment. They found it to be very simple and straightforward. 

My team handled the initial implementation. We did the setup in-house. 

The pricing is pretty decent. It's a good price. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

We do not sell this solution at a regular frequency, and therefore I can't speak to the exact pricing. 

We only really have three options in our region based on price constraints. We've tried SentinelOne or Palo Alto. However, the pricing makes it very difficult. Companies can't invest too much in devices such as these. 

We sell Sophos, among other solutions. 

Sophos is a good solution. We have had very few issues. It's stable and offers good cost-benefit.

The firewall is very secure, and we like that the console is on the cloud. There are a lot of really good points when looking at Sophos. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
