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.

Good user behavioral analysis and helpful patching but needs better support services
Some of our products have a first and second line owned by us. We are giving support services to the customers instead of the vendor. Some other products are supported directly by the technology vendor, however. Technical support from the vendor is very bad. Usually, when the customer submits a ticket, they put a severity level on the case. Whenever the case is very important, and there is a real malfunction in the product on the customer side, and there is something down that needs someone to have a look immediately, it takes more time than it should to even engage with the customer. When someone has to contact the customer and have a remote session within the customer environment, they sometimes lack in terms of communication with the customer. The support centers are located in the East and not all have an acceptable level of English in order to communicate directly with the customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
"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."
"With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client."
"The product is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Trellix Endpoint Security is containment, which takes less than a minute."
"What I like best is the integrated end-to-end security that works with the security information and events manager."
"The endpoint protection and disk encryption features are the most valuable."
"It's quite easy to install agents."
"The endpoint security, antivirus and firewall are the most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security."
"The user behavioral analysis feature is great."
"It has a very simple like multi-tenancy option and scalability is outstanding."
 

Cons

"The solution has a strange technical support process where you need to move through all of these tiers before you can get to someone who can help you. They should streamline the process and make it easier to speak to the correct level of support from the outset."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Sophos does not currently inform users of potential compatability issues with Windows updates."
"There has been an increase of about 7-10% in recent months. That's why we face issues with customers who have been using it since 2017."
"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."
"Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"The solution needs to improve its virtual patching capabilities. One area where it could improve is by offering a patch management solution bundled with its security products. This would make it even more competitive against solutions like Kaspersky that offer this feature."
"McAfee Endpoint Protection could improve the word control feature."
"The security of this solution needs improvement."
"Patch management is unavailable"
"We know that McAfee isn't the best antivirus and it can't protect us 100%, although we are okay with the level of protection that it gives us."
"The platform needs improvement in terms of handling heavy databases."
"With McAfee, if there is a zero-day vulnerability, you have to download the patch for it from the McAfee website, then apply it to your endpoint."
"Support-wise they need to be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared to Fortinet, the renewal and subscription is quite expensive."
"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."
"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"A yearly subscription has to be purchased or made towards the licensing cost of the solution. The solution is an affordable or an economical one for corporate houses."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Since the maintenance is done by our own team, the price of the subscription should really be cheaper."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"Its price is very high. It is higher than its competitors, and it should be less."
"It provides good value by striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and feature richness."
"There is a one-year and a three-year license available for this solution, we are currently on a three-year license."
"When comparing the solution to others it is a bit expensive. We are on a monthly license."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
