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

"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a powerful antivirus."
"It's easy to deploy."
"With the reseller management, I can manage multiple clients without having to log in to each client."
"The performance and scalability are impressive. We can install it on various computers."
"It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"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."
"Aside from the basic antivirus features, there are additional features such as vulnerability protection, firewall, etc. which are helpful."
"The file integrity and log inspection are game-changing features for us."
"This product offers good protection against many types of malware."
"The solution provides ease of use, especially from non-technical testing. It's one of the best things. The deployment process is one of the easiest things because we didn't train our on-site consultant. The constant training from Trend Micro's side is that they develop internal causes to understand the upgrade because once they upgrade the platform, they also upgrade the technical person's skills."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"In addition to providing our clients a view of what's happening in their data centers, it also does virtual patching in the data center. It enhances the security in the data center big time."
"It can scale well."
 

Cons

"The update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"We have to use additional third-party solutions to fill the gaps in the capabilities of Sophos EPP Suite, such as using a mobility scanner. It would be helpful to add this feature."
"The solution could be more stable."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"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 product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."
"Enhancements in agent performance are needed, specifically in reducing server utilization during scanning."
"There should be signature-based advanced and responsive features."
"Requires simplification, a fair amount of trouble shooting required."
"I would like to see better pricing. The pricing could be lower."
"f it had the capability of generating retroactive alerts it would be helpful."
"The solution could use more integration."
"Trend Micro is not government certified or federal complaint. If they could become compliant/certified, this would make it easier for us to use it for our government projects."
"The cost is very high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"The solution is expensive."
"The platform is expensive but worth it."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There is a license for this solution and there are extra features you can purchase."
"We are paying approximately $50,000 each month, it's definitely expensive."
"The solution is offered at an average price point"
"On an AWS defined scope, it will cheaper than buying the on-premise service. We did a trial for the on-premise version, but we decided to go with the AWS version. We are downsizing our server room, and it didn't make sense to put more machines in there."
"The cost runs around forty dollars per server a month."
"Most of it is annual at this stage."
"The pricing is okay. Deep Security is single-server license-based, so it will work based on how many licenses you have procured. There is a yearly subscription for each license."
"We need to make yearly payments for the solution's licensing. There are different pricing models, like subscription-based and perpetual."
