Data Office Protect - DPO at DATATRUSTY TECNOLOGIA

Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Sherwin De Claro

Sr. Manager - Infosec at PAGCOR

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

"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

"The AI and EDR features are the most effective for threat detection and security."

"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."

"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."

"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."

"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."

"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."

"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."

"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."

More Sophos EPP Suite pros

Cons

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"They should improve their user interface."

"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"The implementation is not easy."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."

"The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM."

"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."

"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."

"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."

"Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive."

"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 update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"The product is very expensive."

"Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected."

"The solution is expensive."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution."

"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."

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

"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
