Room For Improvement

Improvements needed in mobile support, technical response, customization, reporting, usability, integrations, and feature enhancements like AI detection.
Sophos EPP Suite needs improvements in migration ease, resource usage, support efficiency, console usability, performance, and integration.
There should be more options than deploying solely through group policy, as the assumption that GPO is working isn’t always the case.
Having a DLP feature would also add value.
The enterprise integration is very poor, requiring a lot of manual work.
 

Setup Cost

Cynet offers competitive pricing with flexible subscription options, integrating multiple features in one solution, including optional support costs.
Sophos EPP Suite offers competitive pricing with three-year discounts, often cheaper than others, especially with annual payment options.
I think the pricing of Cynet is fair and one of the better options in the market.
 

Valuable Features

Cynet excels with user-friendly interface, strong threat detection, seamless integration, and comprehensive features for security and scalability.
Sophos EPP Suite offers strong virus protection, seamless integration, centralized management, ransomware rollback, and advanced threat detection with AI.
The most effective features of Cynet are its ransomware protection and lateral movement deception.
The valuable aspects of Cynet are its EDR and XDR components, which are available at a reasonable price point.
With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client.

Featured Reviews

Ch342 - PeerSpot reviewer
Continuously improving and comes with automated response and SIEM/SOC
This is the third company I've worked with, and I've brought them in as a provider. For me, it's as good as it gets. Nobody likes to talk about tens, but they have a better record of detection than CrowdStrike, and they didn't shut down the world like CrowdStrike. If you really dig down into it, who are the founders of the companies? On the one hand, you have a guy who used to be a consultant, I believe, and we know they're full of it. On the other hand, you got a guy who hacked into an Israeli bank, I think, when he was about 15 years old. They eventually hired him, and now this is his third startup. So, when you look at it that way, there's no comparison.
Kiarash Heydari - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates well, useful client auditing, and beneficial reporting
If you use an appliance, it can be challenging to scale. However, we can use solutions, such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN) for cloud-based services or private cloud-based services with Kubernetes and Calico. Additionally, we can use a firewall for managing traffic on the internet or LAN and internal networks. We can integrate Sophos EPP Suite with enterprise solutions, such as Cisco ACI for managing role policies, among other things. We have around 400 to 500 users who are clients for our service on our internal network. Additionally, in our IDC we have thousands of clients who receive services from us.
