Featured Reviews

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
Has an easy initial setup process, but there could be more integration options
The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a seven or eight out of ten. We have LPR procurement. The deployment involves installing the product and adding a license. It takes three to four days to complete and requires a team of less than ten people to execute the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product’s selling point is its ability to protect against zero-day threats and its integration with the firewall."
"The Sophos people here in South Africa are very helpful."
"It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."
"The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable aspect, for us, is the DLP portion of the product."
More Sophos EPP Suite pros
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"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."
"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."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
 

Cons

"The user interface is not responsive."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"The only drawback is that it requires a little more system configuration."
"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."
"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
"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."
"Lacks delegated administration privileges for large organizations, and differential permissions for admins."
More Sophos EPP Suite cons
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."
"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."
"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."
"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."
"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my perspective, it is not the most expensive, it is aligned with the market."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."
"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."
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite."
"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."
"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice
"The price is comparable."
"The product has average pricing."
"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 cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."
