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.
Venugopal Potumudi - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with good independent modules and a straightforward setup
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. Having used Trend Micro as well, I would rate Trend Micro higher. However, I would still choose this product as a second option. When we recommend a product, we would recommend something based on the fit of the product and customer requirements. We worked with Defender, we worked with Trend Micro, and we worked with McAfee. All of them almost overlap in multiple use cases. That said, we do see the customer IT strategy and where they're going, and they are adopting Azure more. We know there are certain limitations in their landscape where there may be some old legacy systems, and in that case, then we would either switch back to McAfee or Trend Micro instead of Defender.

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 feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."
"So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"In terms of the Firewall, the EAP assist, the simple interface and the reporting features are quite good for clients. It's very easy to understand and to navigate the Dashboard."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"The activation of features within ENS and the collection of threats into a single console is a strong point."
"I found the initial setup to be easy."
"The exploit guard and malware protection features are very useful. The logon tracker feature is also very useful. They have also given new modules such as logout backup, process backup. We ordered these modules from the FireEye market place, and we have installed these modules. We are currently exploring these features."
"HIPS protects server files from being modified or deleted by unauthorized users. It's primarily deployed in the web tier."
"The platform's most valuable features are AI capabilities and its quick updates."
"A great console with a user-friendly GUI."
"The agents are easy to deploy."
"Provides good mobile device protection."
 

Cons

"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."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."
"The management console need improvement."
"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."
"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 technical support needs some improvement. When product distribution errors occur, we have to contact technical support, which is a very tedious task."
"The product is consolidating its portfolio into one product. It is difficult at the moment."
"I would like to see simple processing and reporting online."
"There should be better integration between the ePolicy Orchestrator and FireEye console. The integration of both consoles should be better."
"It is a very heavy tool, unfortunately."
"The performance could be better. I noticed that it slows down a bit."
"The solution can be expensive."
"A policy-editing console should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"Sophos is cheaper than some competing products."
"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 price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"Licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing for McAfee MVISION Endpoint is not very good, and I would rate its cost three out of five, though I won't be able to mention how much its actual price is."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) is not a cheap solution...I don't think any costs are involved in the maintenance of the solution."
"It is a yearly subscription-based product, which includes the license and hardware. There is also a subscription for technical support up to five years."
"The current pricing is much better than before because they now offer product-related promotions along with some changes in product licensing. The new pricing model is better than before."
"It was an annual fee. There was just one overall fee."
"Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) has a reasonable price."
