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.

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

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response."
"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."
"Great cloud management."
"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It's easy to deploy."
"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."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"The solution efficiently protects the servers for our customers."
"We can manage everything from the central console and it is very easy."
"The manageability of the product itself is its most valuable aspect. You have the underlying EPO, and on top of it, you can deploy the various components as you require. This is unlike other solutions like Symantec where you have to deploy everything or nothing. With this solution, you can choose to only deploy antivirus or only deploy a firewall, or only something else. I choose the components and that deployment is done through EPO. It makes manageability very flexible."
"The product has a robust reporting feature"
"The initial setup is straightforward, not complex."
"The most valuable features of Trellix Endpoint Security include its protection capabilities such as DNS and endpoint security, DNS threat prevention, as well as advanced threat prevention."
"I feel McAfee Endpoint Security to be a good, mature product."
"McAfee Complete Endpoint Protection is stable. We don't have any bugs being reported."
"It's easy to use and it's very powerful. It offers nice endpoint protection."
 

Cons

"The solution could be more stable."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"Deployment and central management need to be improved."
"The logging issues must be fixed."
"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"Tech support is not as helpful as they were in the past."
"I think it would be nice if Dynamic Application Control would come together with McAfee Endpoint Security."
"What needs improvement in Trellix Endpoint Security is the reduction of resource consumption by the scanning feature. There should be daily signature updates for protection."
"The initial setup isn't so easy. You need to know what you are doing."
"The product could do more to keep administration alerted to detected threats on endpoints."
"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."
"We have a lot of problems with the user experience and it's difficult to implement. MacAfee's better than the ancient anti-virus solutions but it's a little slow to resolve. Many files with malware were destroyed through the network, and MacAfee doesn't detect anything."
"The solution has problematic encryption, which needs reforming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."
"The license cost for Sophos EPP Suite depends on the features you want to use. For example, if you want to use advanced features, such as web application firewalling, the cost may be higher. In general, I believe the licensing cost is reasonable."
"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"Sophos is cheaper than some competing products."
"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."
"The pricing is great and licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The price of McAfee is pretty similar to Symantec, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I rate Trellix Endpoint Security a nine out of ten for pricing."
"Its price is reasonable, but it could be made free."
"I do licensing on an annual basis and this is what I always recommend to my clients over the monthly option."
"The pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market."
"Licensing is paid yearly."
"I would rate the cost as four to five, considering it's normal compared to other products. I find it nominal and worth the money."
