LUIZ FERNANDO MARIANO SILVA - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sabbir Ahmed - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"Considering other products, SonicWall Capture Client has two differentiators."
"The threat protection feature of SonicWall Capture Client is most valuable."
"SonicWall Capture Client's scalability is nice."
"The solution serves as a very stable platform."
"The most valuable features of SonicWall Capture Client are CSC (Capture Security Center), RTDMI (Real-Time Deep Memory Inspection), and the deep memory inspection feature."
"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."
"It is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."
"Our experience with Sophos has been notable; it's database-driven and efficiently integrates to inspect and protect us against biases, malware, and attacks."
"It's easy to deploy."
"Great cloud management."
"We were concerned about the threat posed by malware. The product's effectiveness in addressing this threat and capturing it within the network has been quite helpful."
"If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use."
"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."
 

Cons

"It takes technical support too long to resolve an issue."
"SonicWall Capture Client could be made a little lighter than it currently is in terms of memory consumption."
"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."
"The vulnerability reports need to be better. Windows Defender detected some issues that SonicWall Capture Client couldn't."
"The implementation is not easy."
"They should improve their user interface."
"The biggest issue with SonicWall Capture Client is network latency."
"SonicWall Capture Client should use less of our PC's memory, as it tends to slow down the performance."
"The solution isn't quite accurate enough. It provides a lot of false positives."
"I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic."
"In my country, having an on-premises deployment model is preferred. In this part of the world, on-premises is still the way many companies want to go. Therefore, they should supply some sort of option that allows for that reality."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
"The solution could improve on the resource management, it is a bit heavy on the resources."
"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 update part is a bit tricky in the solution...The support is not that good."
"Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have to pay for the solution, and a lot of customers do not want to pay."
"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."
"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing could always be lower. It costs around $120 per seat per year."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"When compared to Fortinet, the renewal and subscription is quite expensive."
"A yearly subscription has to be purchased or made towards the licensing cost of the solution. The solution is an affordable or an economical one for corporate houses."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
