Sophos EPP Suite Reviews

It has excellent virus definitions, a great support response from the vendor, and an integrated DLP that allows the administrator to know what is going in the network.

Our datacenter cloud services such as email, and web services for internal and external use, had to be protected with different systems and the web services where left really unprotected, since we used an standard IPS/IDS to protect ourselves from web attacks (from the outside) which nowadays are really sophisticated. Also, we had to employ many work hours to have a protected, standardized network. With Sophos EndPoint and Sophos UTM, we simplified and also protected our network at the same time, with less work force.

It could have a less traumatic migration from server A to server B, when needed. However, as long as you don't need to migrate, the product runs smoothly.

We've been using it since 2010, when we were looking for an SMB/enterprise solution. We've been using it with Sophos UTM.

The scalability for the Sophos EndPoint, depends on the actual growth of your network. I would recommend for its initial deployment, to be projected for at least for four years.

This is where Sophos outclasses every other vendor. They have grown so much throughout the last four to five years, but they have grown in their capability to attend support cases. We've had some really advanced cases, and we have never been left forgotten or left behind.

We previouslyt used Hauri AntiVirus without much luck. We commercialized it and supported it, and we even became their main distributor for a specific region, but they couldn't handle most support cases, and one virus in specific, Conficker, in 2009-2010.

After this incident, we did some market research, and the most powerful engine to cure these kinds of events, was Sophos. Their support was, and still is, the best of breed.

The initial setup is straightforward. Sophos is well known in the market for being a unique and powerful tool, but is simple to deploy and manage. This is what makes them different from any other vendor. When the admin has to enable initial policies, it is done in three to four clicks.

We always deploy by ourselves, so that way we can test how the customer will see the initial implementation. Our main advice, is to read the manual, and follow the wizards that comes with each tool. Also, it is strongly recommended to have a professional firm contracted for the initial setup, and support, as we are, to design, and help with any kind of implementation issues.

The ROI is in 12-16 months, since with this kind of tool, we deliver the best of breed protection, and increment the focus of the end user, in being productive.

I recommend you get the three year licenses, since Sophos offers three years for the price of two. I would also recommend that you acquire any Sophos Licensing with Professional Services added, that way, you'll have the best experience possible.

They have supported our business venture since 2010, and will do for many years. We have studied closely the different product portfolio, and each one of them, are carefully developed.

The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers.

There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution. It will help us make lists of CPUs, memory, and other essential components similar to Kaspersky and a few other vendors.

We have been using the solution for five years.

It is a stable solution.

The solution's technical support team is good.

The solution is easy to implement. It takes ten minutes to complete the process.

We set up and manage the solution in-house.

The solution's cost is reasonable.

The solution is suitable for all types of companies. I rate it an eight out of ten.

This solution is a combination of two products, along with the additional EDR. It has the Endpoint plus Intercept X, which is more for ransomware and the anti-exploit with the EDR on top of it. I'm the engineering manager and we are customers of Sophos EPP Suite. 

The cloud management is great. The whole solution is easy to use and simple.

Additional security is always good; it would be helpful if the technical support could be improved.

I've been using this solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support could be improved - quicker and better. Support is the bad side of Sophos. 

The initial setup is very easy, it took a few days and we did it ourselves. We have around 300 users in the company. An IT person can implement easily and there is documentation available for the configuration.

They offer an annual and monthly subscription and we chose to go with the annual one. 

Our primary use case of this solution is for VPN threat management.

The feature I find most valuable is that this solution is pretty simple compared to Fortinet, which we used before we upgraded. It's really simple to use.

If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use. So it needs to be simpler for a non-IT person so that when you have an issue, you can you know that the solution is just a click away. Except for the more advanced things. So in terms of usage, the management tools, monitoring, and dashboard should be easier to use.

I've used Cyberoam and SonicWall, but I still prefer Sophos.

The price of this program is okay compared to Cyberoam, SonicWall and the rest. 

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. I strongly recommend it to others. If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use. From the implementation to the end.

This solution is used to protect the network of our head office.

The deployment model we are using is on-premise.

The protection that this solution offers us is strong.

They should consider giving the devices for free when they are charging for licensing.

In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall.

Normally getting junk mail and phishing in emails is a problem for us. We are protected with other solutions but we would like to see it in the is one.

This solution is one hundred percent stable.

It is scalable and easy to manage compared to Cyberoam.

We have approximately one hundred and fifty users.

The technical support is very good. If we have any isses they are resolved quickly.

Previously, we were using Cyberoam with a valid license.

The initial setup was simple.

When we purchased this solution the implementation and support was included.

The pricing for this solution is ok.

I would recommend this solution.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We're Sophos partners for Africa, primarily in the Ivory Coast. We decided to use it first for testing purposes before proposing it to our customers as an option for them.

It's a good product. 

It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy.

The product offers great protection.

In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality.

I've been using the solution for about two years at this point.

The solution is very stable. There aren't really any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's pretty good.

It's scalable due to the fact that it is on the cloud. With the cloud deployment, it is not your problem to think about how many CPUs you must use or how many hard drives you need. It makes everything very easy.

Currently, we have less than 20 users on the solution. We may increase usage in the future as we continue to work with the product.

I've worked with Sophos technical support in the past, however, never directly on endpoint issues. Therefore I can't directly speak to their knowledge or responsiveness when issues arise.

I can't really discuss this, as I'm not the decision-maker at my company. I'm not sure if another solution was used previously.

As a cloud product, there isn't really an installation. It's pretty straightforward. You can click on an icon on the user station and all the management from the cloud is right there.

In terms of deployment, it depends on the local platform of the customers. We have about 20 users and we were able to set everything up in less than one hour.

I handled the implementation myself. I'm a Sophos architect engineer. I didn't need the assistance of an outside consultant or integrator.

I'm not quite sure how the pricing or licensing works.

We're a Sophos partner. We have a business relationship with the company.

I would recommend the solution.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

We are a solution provider and the Sophos EPP Suite is one of the security products that we use to provide service to our clients. We primarily use it for endpoint protection.

The most valuable feature is the central administration and management.

The central monitoring capability is helpful.

It is easy to configure.

Technical support needs to be improved.

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

We have about three years of experience with this product.

In terms of stability, we have not had any problems.

We are satisfied with the scalability.

The technical support offered by Sophos is very poor.

The initial setup is complex and the deployment will take approximately one month.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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.

Deployment and central management need to be improved.

In the next release, the solution should add anti-spam. They should add a plugin and or a browser plugin for security.

We're Sophos resellers.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. It's not 100% perfect, but it's a good product.
