Sophos EPP Suite Valuable Features

Sabbir Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Infosonik Systems Ltd

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.

The endpoint itself is nothing special, other than the way the cloud management and reseller management works. With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client. Once I start integrating all the Sophos products, a lot of features become available that I cannot get with separate standalone products. Once it's running, it's fine.

The anti-ransomware engine and the crypto-guard capability are most valuable. 

DeepGuard and CryptoGuard, those engines, basically shield against encryption attempts. They detect and block suspicious behavior before your files get locked.

The network isolation feature is brilliant. Sophos firewalls work seamlessly with the endpoint suite. If a threat pops up anywhere on the network, the firewalls and endpoints communicate instantly, allowing us to isolate the infected device and stop it from spreading.

It has web gateway protection. It can filter out at the granular level for the URL filtering and everything. So it can also give you all the detailed reporting wherein what file has been executed. Also, it has a lightweight agent wherein it has a huge database where it is constantly upgrading. Based on that, it becomes effective in catching certain threats.

We can control the application usage of users from the endpoint because for users not under the firewall, particularly those working from home, we have good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control as well as the other file sharing applications. We can also have policies for external device connections and read-write access. They are great functionalities. When there is malicious code or malicious attachments on emails, Sophos is very good at blocking those attacks.

What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer.

For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool.

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.

It's just a good endpoint solution. I can't say that it's better or worse than any other product, however, it has a pretty good feature set. There are good rules, etc.

That application, so far, is actually able to tell us if there are any issues with the machine and what they are.

MohammedMateen - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Administrator at Transgulf Readymix

The main reason why we choose the Sophos EPP Suite is because of its capabilities to stop infections from spreading around the internal network once the problems have infiltrated it. For example, one computer gets infected. When that computer attempts to communicate with another computer — one client to another client — Sophos checks the behavior of the computer. It looks at what it is trying to communicate and what resources the computer is using. If it does something that is suspicious, like move an application that may be a virus, Sophos will stop the activity and disconnect the computer from the rest of the network immediately. It does this automatically without an administrator having to do or even be aware of anything. This is the main thing we like about the Sophos product. It is constantly monitoring all points and has the capability to detect and act on intrusions without other intervention.

Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced. The aforementioned synchronization casts a multi-layer security. When I use a firewall or Kaspersky, this synchronization is unavailable. Sophos EPP Suite has a useful expert prevention feature that prevents ransomware attacks. The solution also helps me review multiple technical reports.

Sophos Certified Technician at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Synchronized security is a great feature. Basically, my firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint. It takes my production level one step higher. The 100% application visibility means that questions are asked: What are the types of application in my endpoint which are attending to that cloud server? Is it for any command and control server or a genuine site? That type of thing. That flows onto the quality control in XG Firewall which checks whether there is any malicious activity present in the system so I can control access of that system.

For the Endpoint Protection, there are a few different features that are great. The Sophos Interface has got a very good feature for the de-planning that protects the rear de-modeller. The firewall can be completely in there with the Sophos Endpoint agents that are being installed in clients in real-time. The Endpoint Protection also has new features with the EDI Engine. The Endpoint Detection and response won't quit, which is something that the clients appreciate.

In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard.
