Enables faster updates and provides an easy-to-use user interface

I have an advanced license that includes all features. Though we have the license, we cannot use it completely because it is not enabled in the Microsoft tier. It does not make sense. We do not want to buy it separately because the price is different if we buy separate licenses.

Experience significant threat prevention advancements with user-friendly deployment

The feature is called relay server, and some people refer to it as a cache server. The Sophos EPP Suite is scalable. Some customers in banks typically have 5,000 to 7,000 users. One customer started with 1,000 users and has now extended to 4,000 users. Some customers are using up to 8,000 users without any issues. Regarding AI elements in the Sophos EPP Suite, firewalls have already introduced AI features. They have integrated AI models similar to ChatGPT in firewalls. These AI features should be introduced in endpoint XDR as well. Key features for comprehensive detection and prevention include advanced threat prevention, ransomware protections, exploit prevention, and AI-powered detections. Extended visibility and data analysis include cross-product data correlations. They have a data lake, live discover, and threat graphs. They also offer AI case summary and AI common analysis, accessible from Sophos Central, which is the management portal for Sophos XDR. Sophos Central serves as one central management portal for managing firewalls, endpoint, Sophos encryption, and mobile device management solutions. This centralized management is particularly appealing to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."

"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."

"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."

"SonicWall Capture Client offers a cost-effective solution that's cheaper compared to other vendors like CrowdStrike."

"SonicWall Capture Client has a serial number to connect to your firewall."

"The solution serves as a very stable platform."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Overall, what I love the most about SonicWall Capture Client is its management console. SonicWall Capture Client also has the intelligence to tell you which computer is online, what OS it uses, etc. I also found the rollback feature and SentinelOne integration valuable in SonicWall Capture Client. Rollback is a powerful feature of the solution because it's similar to locking your endpoint during an attack, so you won't have to pay the hackers, particularly during ransomware attacks. That feature in SonicWall Capture Client allows you to get back your endpoint or make your endpoint right again after an attack. I also like that it isn't complex to remove the engine error from the endpoint because you only have to provide the security key from SonicWall Capture Client, so the process is simple. It's not complex."

More SonicWall Capture Client pros

"The most valuable feature is data loss prevention."

"Provides good control and can implement policies and on-the-web control."

"The most valuable feature of Sophos EPP Suite is that it works on very low configuration, which is actually the best feature because if we go for SecureRight, it requires a heavy configuration to work."

"The most valuable feature Sophos EPP Suite is that it protects the computer beyond the premise. Whether the user is at home, in the office, or traveling, you are able to apply the policies as the user moves."

"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."

"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."

"It is a scalable platform."

"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."

Cons

"The implementation is not easy."

"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."

"An area for improvement in SonicWall Capture Client is TenantCloud support. Suppose you want to implement SonicWall Capture Client. You'll have to register it on MySonicWall. Then once your SonicWall Capture Client license expires and you don't want to renew it, you can't delete it from your MySonicWall account, so that's an area for improvement."

"XDR cannot be used unless MDR services are purchased with SonicWall."

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."

"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."

"They should improve their user interface."

"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."

More SonicWall Capture Client cons

"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."

"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."

"We require a fast response from Sophos, but currently, in the last three to four months, it has become lengthy; the support has become lengthy."

"The solution needs to perform better or update its anti-ransomware and anti-malware engines to keep up with the latest hacking techniques."

"From our enrollment perspective, I would say maybe it could be a little lighter in terms of agent usage so that there is less computer utilization."

"The automation side of the setup is a pain."

"The solution could be improved in terms of the performance of the appliances. Sometimes the appliances in the market can be quite large. Additionally, in comparison to other appliances, such as FortiGate, Cisco Firepower, or ASA, it could be improved in terms of package processing or traffic handling."

"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."

More Sophos EPP Suite cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Here in Indonesia, SonicWall Capture Client costs five hundred thousand rupiahs for every endpoint. If I'm correct, you only have to pay the licensing fee, and there's no additional fee. To me, the pricing for SonicWall Capture Client is four out of five."

"The product is very expensive."

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."

"Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution."

"It may be possible to negotiate licensing cost based on volume."

"The pricing for this solution is ok."

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

"I would rate the price seven out of ten, for its cost-effectiveness."

"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."

"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."

"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
