The most important aspect is a EC2 deployment which is a remote deployment done for new customers using Sophos. Approximately ninety-five percent of EC2 deployment is automated, requiring only a review or customization for the customer's needs. Another key feature is the centralized control of updates, allowing for scheduling any interaction with the endpoint. Additionally, the new platform and system operations, along with IOCs, are updated daily. Sophos has a very good policy at good prices. Since I have a local contact with the salespeople, they provide me discounts. It's very stable and competitive. When the customers have budget, they can opt for CrowdStrike. However, when the customers have budget constraints on daily servers, and when the customers prefer to integrate mobile platforms with different technologies, they can use this one technology. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

They offer three different engagement levels with the Sophos team. We can choose full engagement, where Sophos takes immediate action upon detecting a threat, but this doesn't offer much learning opportunity for our team. Alternatively, we can opt for a middle-ground approach, where Sophos reports the threat to us and assists our team in handling it. This model allows our team to learn and gain experience from the Sophos experts. The third option involves Sophos solely reporting the threat to us, leaving the resolution in our hands. It is important that our team doesn't become entirely dependent on it, but to work alongside the Sophos team to intercept threats and gain a deeper understanding of where these threats originate. It's a collaborative effort to enhance our skills and knowledge about potential threats.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Jun 28, 2024

Valuable Features

"The important mechanism is the dilation of the desktop. It quarantines and removes threats from the network. Sometimes, security devices similar to firewalls are used. It also creates dynamic rules to protect against attacks. The security cross-synchronization is very important."
"The solution provides the best security features."
"The authentication it offers minimizes the risk of access."

Room for Improvement

"Sophos is not integrating the same console and umbrella with its product."
"The product must provide zero trust security."
"The only challenge we face with the tool is the pricing. Clients often compare it with other products in the market and try to negotiate prices. This concern has caused some challenges in closing deals. Otherwise, as a product, we have no worries."

Pricing

"The tool is too expensive for small companies."
"The product is reasonably priced considering the cybersecurity features."
"It is an expensive platform."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
