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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Provides good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"The central management console is valuable, as it consolidates everything into one place, allowing users to access logs and events without visiting multiple websites or consoles."
"We bought it because it was cost-effective."
"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."
"For day-to-day efficiency, it provides a good dashboard, so our team can be active 24/7 instead of doing a lot of manual stuff. We just look at the dashboard, and it's all done."
"It provides a comprehensive feature set and a strong security baseline for us with integrations into other security tools."
"Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers."
"The most valuable feature of the product is vulnerability detection."
"Trend Micro Deep Security is a complete solution and all the threat management has been taken care of."
"Trend Micro gave our security teams a certain degree of comfort by just having it in the background, as they have familiarity with the product."
"I switched to Trend Micro because of its good marketing techniques."
"The tool provides information on server activities and hosts."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"The support could be improved. The response times are slow."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."
"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."
"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."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"They are still working on the company integration from TippingPoint because this was a recent acquisition from a few years ago. So, a Tipping Point integration with Deep Security, having one single pane of glass dashboard, would provide us a simple use case."
"The default reports provided don't provide much insight."
"We have had some issues when it drains some of the resources of the server."
"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."
"As for what could be improved, I think it should come with an XDR facility without any extra cost. They're always releasing new features, but we need to pay extra for them."
"It needs better global visibility of the virtual environment."
"New patterns need improvement, as some new data access points are challenging to investigate and allow entry without detection."
"The solution could use more integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"Sophos is cheaper than some competing products."
"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 solution's cost is reasonable."
"We did not purchase it through the AWS Marketplace because we have used Trend Micro in the past."
"Licensing fees are paid yearly."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"We don't pay any licensing fees."
"CrowdStrike had an advantage over Trend Micro when it came to pricing. Trend Micro had several modules, so it was a little priced up, but CrowdStrike was not. However, even CrowdStrike has increased their price now, so probably both of them are on par, but the number of modules that Trend Micro has is far more than CrowdStrike. It comes with file integrity monitoring, application control, and web reputation. It has outbound URL protection, and it also has ransomware protection for servers, whereas CrowdStrike Falcon is a straightforward solution."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"The price is reasonably good as compared to other products into the market."
"If you want to scale the solution you will have to adjust the license."
