There could be improvement in features like more detailed reporting for the end customer. For example, reports should be in simple language that is easy to read and understand for management level personnel. Currently, the reports are a bit technical and challenging for management to comprehend.

The solution's integration should be made easier because it is difficult. Sophos MDR should improve its artificial intelligence capabilities. Sophos MDR uses artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, but it should be made more attractive or scalable.

Sophos MDR could offer more integration packs and more vendor flexibility, which they're working on. But that's probably the only improvement that I would see with Sophos MDR, so they could really push themselves ahead, which they really are ahead. If there's only room for improvement, Sophos MDR will be able to offer and support more vendors than they already do. But Sophos MDR already supports so many. There's only so much they can do, but even more would be great. Give it more flexibility. Shaun, that would be a plus.
The only challenge we face with the tool is the pricing. Clients often compare it with other products in the market and try to negotiate prices. This concern has caused some challenges in closing deals. Otherwise, as a product, we have no worries. The support's response time can also be faster.

One aspect I'm examining is the MDR network detection with Sophos Firewall, which works well. I understand it can also integrate with other firewalls, but it's optimal with Sophos products, given the slight drawbacks when using non-Sophos solutions.

In the future, I would like to see a better integration between the endpoint and firewall, just like how web proxy is available inside the antivirus and the endpoint protection. There is also security or protection for the gateway and the border gateway in Sophos that we need to configure separately. In general, the gateway, firewall, and endpoint Sophos offers are not optimized, which I feel can function better together.
Sophos MDR lacks integration with MDM solutions. Sophos should provide a demo of MDR so that potential customers can utilize it through a free trial for POC.
Sophos MDR's support and basic training of their devices could be improved. The solution's curriculum does not give clear information about its certifications.

One of the limitations that we have found is with communications and the languages in different countries. In Vietnam, we are okay and it is not a big problem because we have a vendor, who is a Sophos partner.
Threat Notification Isn’t the Solution – It’s a Starting Point
Other managed detection and response (MDR) services simply notify you of attacks or suspicious events. Then it’s up to you to manage things from there.
With Sophos MTR, your organization is backed by an elite team of threat hunters and response experts who take targeted actions on your behalf to neutralize even the most sophisticated threats.

The pricing is acceptable. Support could provide a faster response.
The product must provide zero trust security. The security tools for the endpoints must communicate with the firewalls.
