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.
Harel Cohen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers excellent endpoint protection and great stability
Technically speaking, the customer support is okay, but the responsiveness needs to be improved. I'm referring to the universal support, as the Israeli staff are excellent and always willing to help. However, opening a case and entering into a back-and-forth with emails takes too much time. It should be working more quickly and smoothly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable platform."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"Deep Security's most valuable features are antivirus and host intrusion detection."
"It's scalable."
"Signatures are frequently updated."
"The agentless protection is very nice in Trend Micro."
"It is connected into an intelligence database and is quick to pick up new threats. It also reduces my workload with its speed and the protection that it provides."
"Deep Security provides us with a lot of reassurance about security threats. You don't have to worry about a patch not being there in the software. You're confident that all the patches and vulnerabilities are taken care of."
"The solution's features, including real-time monitoring, IPS activity, and firewall alerts, are found to be the most effective in our company"
"The user interface is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"We use cloud services quite a bit. Therefore, I would like to see integration with other security tools besides endpoint so that I'm not managing different tools separately. I would prefer to have a single security solution for my laptop and for managing other security things like passwords."
"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive."
"The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"Some of the reporting and integrations could be more robust."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The solution should focus on the EDR part and probably have an integrated data leak prevention module."
"Trend Micro's technical support sometimes takes too long to respond, although they respond quickly at other times. Additionally, the product is overpriced, which makes it difficult to sell to many customers."
"I would like them to separate their products into different categories, rather than putting everything in one box."
"Their support should be improved. We need support in the UAE, but it is always going to some other country or region, and the time schedule is not suitable for us."
"The initial setup was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price seven out of ten, for its cost-effectiveness."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
"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."
"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"We are on an annual license to use the solution."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is quite expensive."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"The price of Trend Micro Deep Security could be less expensive."
"The AWS licensing model is scalable and easy to use, but could do with tiered discounts. I am not sure how well this model will scale when we start to use Auto Scaling with AWS resources."
"We are an original partner with AWS, so a couple of customers chose to directly take it from AWS Marketplace. A couple of customers will want us to take care of the billing. So, it's a mixed type of reaction that we receive from the customer."
"We do pay-as-you-go pricing, which is good for us. We are working with Trend Micro's sales rep to see if we can have something similar for on-premise."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
