CEO at Forte IT Solutions
Have faced integration challenges but continue to benefit from strong security and proactive response features
The biggest advantage of the product, as I see it as a reseller, is its security and reporting. The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic. When customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR endpoint detection response tool, it runs in an isolated environment, virtual environment, sandbox environment. If it determines that this software is not secure, not verified, or not approved by system admin, it blocks the software immediately. The software will not run, and it sends a report to the admin email instantly. If there is any issue with the software or if any incident such as a malware attack or ransomware attack is happening, or something is trying to make changes to the system files, it immediately blocks the software tool and reports back to the admin. As a reseller partner and secondary admin for the customers, my team and I directly receive a mail, and we take control of that machine. It even blocks complete network access to that machine. On the hardware side, if there is a hard disk full or RAM 90% usage or CPU 90% usage or any of these incidents, we set up an alert notification option for it. The moment these incidents occur, it sends an alert so we can recommend customers upgrade their hardware or check if there is any malfunctioning software consuming too much RAM and CPU. This incident response use case helps us keep customer machines' performance to the maximum. The 24/7 monitoring capability supports a lot in contributing to our cybersecurity strategy. It is very much compatible with our goal.

Integrated analytics have improved threat visibility and reduced manual monitoring effort
One of the areas for improvement in Sophos MDR is the amount of traffic and the VPN because when we have that much load, the hardware gets a little bit heated. So they need to look into the capacity of the hardware. Functionality-wise and features-wise for Sophos MDR, we are somewhat satisfied, but there are a lot of things we don't use even. However, the critical part is there, which we use, while most other functionalities we don't require because the more complicated the configuration we do in a security fabric, the more difficult it is to handle those types of data and readings and analytics. We have enabled only the features and functions needed, leaving the rest disabled.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is its around-the-clock, 365-day-a-year online technical support."
"The automated incident response feature in Comodo MDR works fantastic; when customers install custom tailor-made software which is not recognized by Comodo MDR, it runs in an isolated environment, and if it determines the software is not secure, it blocks it immediately and sends a report to the admin."
"However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers."
"The product is fairly new compared to others like Trend Micro or Symantec. However, it offers sophisticated features, especially in scanning and analyzing activities on workstations or servers. It can prevent malicious operations from spreading to other applications or the network. This feature is particularly effective because it operates at the IO level, unlike behavior or signature analysis used by other products. It contains threats and alerts administrators about whether they are false positives or real threats that need immediate action or support recommendations."
"It provides reliable protection and clear data on its performance metrics, enabling straightforward communication of its capabilities."
"Overall, Sophos is working well in our organization and we plan to continue using it."
"The authentication it offers minimizes the risk of access."
"There is a feature called XDR Central. With this, Sophos can connect to third-party security solutions."
"The most valuable feature is threat hunting."
"The initial setup is quick and simple. A couple of clicks, and you're up and running."
"The product’s most valuable features are integration and endpoint protection."
"The user doesn't need a technician; it offers 24/7 support to identify and manage your infrastructure and take complete care of any technological incidents."
 

Cons

"Users pay $60 per user per year, and in case there is an issue, support tickets take nearly three days or sometimes even more for a clear resolution or an answer."
"They should consider adopting the desktop version as a solution."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive."
"I think having a higher level of MDR would be beneficial, although it's quite expensive. This would involve not just monitoring the network but also taking actions to stop and detect threats. We haven't implemented this yet, but we're considering it for our organization's plans."
"Sophos MDR lacks integration with MDM solutions."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in performance and upgrades."
"The solution is expensive for customers."
"One of the limitations that we have found is with communications and the languages in different countries."
"Maybe the reporting needs improvement."
"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."
"Support could provide a faster response."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
