Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.
Sherwin De Claro - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution provides endpoint detection and response with a nice-looking dashboard
The solution is easily scalable because it's in the cloud and we can push the agents using our Cafea solution. We can even deploy the applications to our remote branches easily. We currently have four people using the solution and if the number of computers increases we can scale up by increasing the number of licenses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dell Data Protection has a decent service and integrates well with users' active directories."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its speed, backup speed, and restore speed."
"It is a stable solution."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"There's a really they have a really nice way to test it first. Before you adopt it. And so I would suggest trying to they they create a test site for you, and they give you a link to it, and you can basically try out all the features on your own for I think we did it for a month."
"The security engine is effective at catching potential threats."
"It is a stable solution. Our company faces no problems with the backup system…The initial setup wasn't complex."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."
"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"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 is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
 

Cons

"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"We use cloud services quite a bit. Therefore, I would like to see integration with other security tools besides endpoint so that I'm not managing different tools separately. I would prefer to have a single security solution for my laptop and for managing other security things like passwords."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
"The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."

"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
