Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features have been its plug-and-play capability once configured and its reporting system is good. The most improved feature of asset auditing is its physical logging of all software. This allows us to understand what software and applications are installed on endpoints. We can easily check which software applications are installed in the network infrastructure during client processing or audits."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The most valuable feature is endpoint detection and response."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"Sophos EPP Suite stands out with its user-friendly dashboard and strong web filtering features for enhanced online security."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to be more user-friendly."
"Sophos does not currently inform users of potential compatability issues with Windows updates."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"If we could bypass the first couple of levels of support when we have a problem then it would be easier and quicker when we need an issue resolved."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"The management console need improvement."
"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."
"The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing could always be lower. It costs around $120 per seat per year."
"Sophos is cheaper than some competing products."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
