Cüneyt EZER - PeerSpot reviewer
Good customers support and offers good inventory management
It maintains our security posture I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention. It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues. I have experience with this solution.  I have contacted the support team. They are good…
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.

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

Pros

"Kaspersky offers a large number of robust default policies, such as USB blockage. I really like this feature."
"I like the inventory management. I also like behavior detection and exploit prevention."
"Kaspersky TOTAL Security for Business provides central management for protection of devices, mitigating attacks effectively."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the central administration and management."
"With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client."
"Great cloud management."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection."
"The solution is useful for security purposes."
"Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos."
"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."
 

Cons

"One significant difference is the lack of on-site support from Kaspersky. Symantec has a local team in Pakistan with representatives I can contact directly for troubleshooting and support. On the other hand, Kaspersky doesn't provide the same level of local resources. If I have an issue, I need to draft an email and send it to a Kaspersky help center."
"The deployment process could be clarified, specifically around the ability to push the security application to clients from the central servers, as we faced issues with this."
"It's been good for months but bad on older endpoints. Only performance issues."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
"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 is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The management console need improvement."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is below average."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"Price-wise, it is cheap. We need to pay 1,500 to 2,000 INR per user...On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"When compared to Fortinet, the renewal and subscription is quite expensive."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
