Sophos EPP Suite Reviews

The solution is useful for security purposes. It can also be used for minor web filtering. It has very minor DLP features.

The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's. Sophos can only do the entire encryption of a hard disk, whereas McAfee can do file encryption, too. The product should introduce file encryption features. McAfee provides a key for encryption. We can still decrypt the file using the key if the encryption is not connected to the server. Sophos could provide such features.

I have been using the solution for almost two years.

The tool’s scalability is good. It supports both Windows and Mac versions. However, it consumes more resources for the Windows system.

Whenever we call, we can’t reach the principal support engineer. It takes some time to reach the engineer. Maybe this is due to a lack of resources. When we call McAfee’s support, we talk to the engineer immediately.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. DLP configuration is also quite straightforward.

To deploy the tool, we can’t push it from the console or cloud. We must install it manually or push it using Microsoft SCCM or other third-party tools. Then, we must configure accordingly and filter whatever is necessary.

If a user wants a less intensive solution that doesn’t focus a lot on DLPs and encryption, they can choose Sophos EPP Suite. If they need a quick solution for DLP, McAfee is the best choice. People who want to use the product must have at least 8 GB RAM. It is a resource-intensive tool. We should be careful with legacy systems. We cannot use older versions of the operating systems. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

We use Sophos EPP Suite as an antivirus software for our computers.

The platform's most valuable features are online accessibility and mobile device protection.

Sophos EPP Suite's support services need improvement. They take a long time to reply to queries every time.

We have been using Sophos EPP Suite for five years.

We never encounter system downtime. I rate Sophos EPP Suite's stability a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable platform. I rate its scalability a nine out of ten.

We are using NOD32 as well. In comparison, Sophos EPP Suite is better in terms of accessibility. We can manage all the devices from anywhere. It also integrates well with Sophos Firewall.

The initial setup is easy. It took around two weeks to deploy 100 computers.

The platform is expensive but worth it. There are other more costly solutions. I rate its pricing a five out of ten.

If you are looking for a reliable endpoint platform, I recommend Sophos EPP Suite. I rate it a nine out of ten.

I use the solution to reach the company's VPN site and check for security insights.

The solution is easy to use and understand.

The solution could be more stable.

I have been using the solution for one year.

It is a scalable solution. We have 100 executives using it in our company. Also, we might plan to increase the usage.

The solution is easy to set up and takes ten minutes to complete. It requires five to six executives for deployment and maintenance.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Sophos EPP Suite can be deployed on the cloud and on-premise.

I am using Sophos EPP Suite for security.

The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the synchronized threat and ransomware protection.

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 synchronization security should be improved or optimizing the use of the Sophos XGS firewall and endpoints. It's unnecessary to activate both web filters in this scenario. More integrated intelligence added to all of the solutions would beneficial.

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

Sophos EPP Suite is a scalable solution.

We have over 50 Companies, with 30 to 300 Users, that use EPP. About 10 engineers can manage it.

My customers are small and medium-sized.

I rate the scalability of Sophos EPP Suite a seven out of ten.

The support from Sophos EPP Suite is poor. Their support is difficult to get a hold of and takes a long time. The support has been the same for years without improvement.

I rate the support from Sophos EPP Suite a four out of ten.

Neutral

The initial setup of Sophos EPP Suite is of a medium range of difficulty. It took us four days to complete the implementation.

For optimal integration across all layers, it's important to install and configure all solutions appropriately.

We use two people to implement this solution for our customers.

The price of Sophos EPP Suite is reasonable.

have some good presales consultants in Switzerland.

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a seven out of ten.

Sophos EPP Suite is deployed on our laptops and servers for antivirus protection. We also use it for deploying patches to the endpoint devices. We are also using it as our asset management tool to see how many laptops we have, their names, and their locations.

We bought it because it was cost-effective.

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.

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for about one year.

Sophos EPP Suite is relatively stable, but it uses a lot of resources.

Sophos EPP Suite is a scalable product. We have about 2,000 users in our organization.

The initial setup is straightforward, but it takes about a week or two to deploy it and not more than that.

We implemented this solution ourselves.

Sophos EPP Suite is cost-effective. We bought it because it costs less than other solutions we like—for example, Trend Micro and Panda Antivirus.

I wouldn't recommend this product to potential users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Sophos EPP Suite a four.

I use Sophos EPP Suite to detect and remove malware on my computer. I'm not even aware that there's malware, but when I check the logs, I see a lot of vulnerabilities and unwanted sites. Sophos EPP Suite is software that blocks unwanted sites and vulnerabilities by itself.

What I like best about Sophos EPP Suite is that it's a good product. What's nice about it is that after I installed it on my computer, the tool detects and eliminates most of the problems, malware, and vulnerabilities. It works very well and is very efficient because it doesn't use up many resources from my computer.

For me, Sophos EPP Suite is the best security and antivirus solution. In terms of its endpoint capabilities, I'm unable to comment on other Sophos security devices, but it seems Sophos EPP Suite has a next-generation firewall feature, though I didn't use it, and it may not be comparable to other next-generation firewalls. My current firewall is a next-generation firewall from Fortinet, and it's the best firewall for me in terms of cost and security, but for endpoint protection, I use Sophos EPP Suite, and it has the best security for my device. The tool is also good for organizations. It's the best tool.

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.

I've been using Sophos EPP Suite for two years.

Sophos EPP Suite is a stable tool. It's been two years since I started using it, and I didn't experience any issues with it.

Sophos EPP Suite is a scalable tool, but it would depend on the license you have. You need to increase your license to scale Sophos EPP Suite.

The Sophos EPP Suite technical support I received was good. It wasn't excellent because you get a reply from support after a few days, so it could be faster. How fast the response is would depend on the case urgency, but in terms of support, Cisco gives the best support in general because the team responds to you immediately.

Setting up Sophos EPP Suite was a straightforward process because it was just a matter of clicks. It's simple to deploy because you can do it via email. You can send and deploy Sophos EPP Suite via email, and you can even send it through other options via links. You have a lot of options available to deploy the agent on all computers. If you have AD, you can check that everything works.

Sophos EPP Suite is easy to deploy even for a customer or even if a user has basic computer security. If you can install basic software on your computer, then you can also install the Sophos EPP Suite agent.

For me, the initial setup for the tool isn't complicated, but in terms of software compatibility, there could be some issues, especially if your operating system is old, for example, your device is on Windows XP, so Sophos EPP Suite may not be compatible.

Every software needs an updated operating system for compatibility and easy installation. You may need to update your operating system to the latest version to meet Sophos EPP Suite specifications, and you'll probably need the help of your IT or IT security team. If the tool is compatible with your current operating system, then it can be easily deployed. It can be easily deployed from Central.

When Sophos EPP Suite was set up in the company, I was an integrator, and it was a good experience for me.

My company has a yearly license agreement with Sophos EPP Suite.

An antivirus and endpoint security solution I use is Sophos EPP Suite. I use it for personal purposes, and I'm using the latest version because it's cloud-based, so it self-updates.

I deployed Sophos EPP Suite for twenty-five users, but overall, my company deployed the tool for about one hundred users.

The number of staff required for the deployment and maintenance of Sophos EPP Suite depends on the company, the scale of the organization, and the project. You may need one or two experts to guide general IT staff, or you can use one expert with the skill of upgrading the operating system when needed and deploying the Sophos EPP Suite agent. If you have an expert in the company who can manage Sophos Central, then that person would be enough for deploying and maintaining the tool.

I would recommend Sophos EPP Suite to others who want to start using it because it's the best product.

I'm giving Sophos EPP Suite a score of nine because it's a good tool for me.

Sophos EPP Suite is used for endpoint security.

The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the detection capability, machine learning, ransomware protection, and live response.

Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources.

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for approximately two years.

Sophos EPP Suite is a stable solution.

I rate the stability of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five.

We have approximately 25,000 users using this solution in my company.

The support from Sophos EPP Suite is very good. They handle any ticket we have had with professionalism. 

I rate the support from Sophos EPP Suite a five out of five.

Positive

I previously used Trend Micro. Sophos EPP Suite is better because it is a single platform for managing. For example, you can manage your endpoints and access.

The initial setup of Sophos EPP Suite is done by creating an account with Sophos. Then we download and install it into the Windows platform or a network platform. It is an easy installation but it takes a long time.

We did the implementation of Sophos EPP Suite with our team of 20 engineers.

I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five.

I rate Sophos EPP Suite a nine out of ten.

Our primary use is the main service and really the name of the product: Endpoint Protection. It's a firewall, it has antivirus protection and we use it for the encryption of our disks. It's also our web protection to keep out browser intrusion or infections.

It has made our infrastructure more secure.

Some of the most valuable things are very simple. I like the ease of deployment. Intercept X has very good ransomware detection and rollback capabilities.

Part of the product that can be improved is the detection of other antivirus software. We had some trouble one time installing the product because there was a third-party antivirus product that we needed to remove before we could install Sophos. That detection in the installer could be better. It can easily be solved but does not have to be a problem in the first place. 

Pricing could be improved because it is a bit expensive. 

It would be nice if there were more capability to configure the notifications. We do get some notifications when a virus is detected or something is wrong, but we get notifications that the machine has to be restarted or other issues that should be handled by different people or different departments. There should be some distinction as to which notification type we want to send to a particular destination. That's something that should definitely be better in an enterprise solution.

The product is very stable. We never experience any downtime.

Sophos EPP is very scalable. We currently have 200 users and there is never a problem with meeting those demands. The product only solves problems and we can always add more users. We hope we have the opportunity to scale up as the company grows. Use depends on the number of our employees. Before we add more, we have to use more.

I really don't know anything about the company support because I didn't need them. I think that says something about the product. I know that contacting the support team would have been an option, but we never had to.

Before we used Sophos as our main solution we used Trend Micro. It was a good product, but after comparison and the vendor offering a discount to switch, we tried Sophos and were very satisfied.

Our initial installation took a couple of months but, looking back, it could have been faster. A little familiarity with the product and better planning would have made the setup quicker.

We did our own installation.

It was nice of the vendor to offer a discount because we were replacing another antivirus solution. This helped us make the decision to change.

There are also additional charges if you want to have the EEPROM Protection (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and Endpoint Protection with antivirus. These additions can cost a lot more.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Sophos EPP (EndPoint Protection) Suite as an eight. I think there's always something which could be better, but I might not know what. Really I could give it a nine because I can recommend the product as an excellent solution.
