Featured Reviews

Alexander Zhuravel - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable tool that ensures its users face no problems while using it as a backup system
The tool is scalable and is currently being used on over 2,000 nodes. So, our company doesn't count the number of clients we have, but we do count the number of nodes, specifically referring to file system nodes, backup nodes, database nodes, virtual machine nodes, and blockchain nodes, which we use for file-based applications. According to the traffic, a backup of five petabytes of data can be done for a month.

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.

Cons

"The backup speed and deduplication are the most valuable features."
"Implementation in a beta environment is necessary before rollout to the larger community."
"I consider the product pretty expensive, so from an improvement perspective, I would like the pricing to be better."
"The solution’s user interface should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Whenever we talk about reporting, I have a chance to look at the reporting, and in my opinion, it's not user-friendly."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"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."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."
"More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite."
"Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent."
