Consistent threat detection and protection with some room for reporting improvements
Pros and Cons
  • "My customers have seen a return on investment with Sophos MDR because it has stopped several real-time compromises, which would have had a significant financial impact."
  • "I have contacted Sophos MDR support, and their support is average. They are sometimes slow and don't always understand requests immediately."

What is our primary use case?

I am a partner and reseller working with Sophos MDR.

My customer's main use case for Sophos MDR is security.

My customers are regular small to medium businesses using Sophos MDR to help protect themselves from compromise.

What is most valuable?

For Sophos MDR features, we appreciate that they can automatically action a request based on the data they ingest from the endpoints, which can be handy sometimes.

The automatic request feature works by ingesting data from the endpoints, and if they detect something that appears to be a compromise, they can take action to block the request, assuming permission has been granted.

I find Sophos MDR to be very accurate in terms of threat detection and response.

Sophos MDR integrates with all the endpoints on the workstations and the firewalls.

Sophos MDR uses machine learning to enhance cybersecurity measures and help process all the data that it ingests into the data lake.

What needs improvement?

I don't have many suggestions for improvement in Sophos MDR as it performs quite well.

It would be beneficial to have the ability to pull a report of all incident responses within a tenant, with categorization and summarization capabilities. This would be particularly useful for sales to demonstrate effectiveness to new clients.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Sophos MDR for approximately four years now.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I haven't faced any challenges or difficulties with Sophos MDR; it has been very smooth.

I have no complaints regarding stability; it is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Sophos MDR is definitely scalable enough for my customers and easy to scale.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted Sophos MDR support, and their support is average.

I would rate their support at around six out of ten.

They are sometimes slow and don't always understand requests immediately.

Their response time needs improvement.

How would you rate customer service and support?

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Sophos MDR is straightforward.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the setup at eight, indicating it is fairly easy.

What about the implementation team?

Deploying Sophos MDR takes approximately a few hours to complete.

What was our ROI?

My customers have seen a return on investment with Sophos MDR because it has stopped several real-time compromises, which would have had a significant financial impact.

What other advice do I have?

I believe Sophos MDR pricing is reasonable for my customers.

I would recommend those planning to use Sophos MDR to consider what financial impact a compromise could have on their organization and compare that with the cost of the product.
