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.

Muhammed Abdul Gafoor - PeerSpot reviewer
The product has excellent patch management features, but it does not provide technical support in the Middle East
The product does not have technical partners in the Middle East. It only has sales partners. I do not like the sales partners in UAE. They did not support me when I needed help with security. The vendor must provide a subscription-based model. Now, they have a prepaid model. Our clients and partners like subscriptions. Subscriptions let us use and then pay. Currently, we pay and then use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"The product is stable."
"The central management of the anti-virus features for our end user is a very valuable aspect of the solutions."
"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."
More Sophos EPP Suite pros
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution lacks technical support."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM."
"The solution could be more stable."
"Deployment and central management need to be improved."
"If we could bypass the first couple of levels of support when we have a problem then it would be easier and quicker when we need an issue resolved."
More Sophos EPP Suite cons
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."
"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."
"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"The price is comparable."
"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
"The product has average pricing."
