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.

Central console streamlines patch monitoring and device management effortlessly

WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection ( /products/withsecure-elements-endpoint-protection-reviews ) is good and easy to set up. I provide an installation file for every client through my domain controller and GPO, and it works properly. We have faced no incidents with viruses or network breaches, and it's easy to monitor patches. I can use remote desktop from the central console. The solution also saves my time because, being the only one handling it, I can monitor all devices easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very light on the endpoints."

"It was successful in preventing malware distribution."

"With Sophos, the scanning of viruses and scanning of the disk is done silently in the background."

"It's easy to deploy."

"Sophos EPP Suite's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support."

"The most valuable features of Sophos EPP Suite are the security and scanning of streaming media. Additionally, the solution is simple uninstall."

"It is doing its job. We use it for standard antivirus purposes and for making sure that people aren't downloading infected attachments. Because we use the cloud version, it is easy to maintain. We don't have to do anything to really maintain it. It gets updated automatically."

More Sophos EPP Suite pros

"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."

"WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection is good and easy to set up."

"There is a layer of security to prevent a malicious agent (malware) from interrupting or stopping services, deleting or modifying registry entries or even stopping the antivirus from acting, ensuring that there will be no interruption of protection."

"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."

Cons

"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."

"The solution lacks technical support."

"There could be an equipment inventory feature for the solution."

"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 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 automation side of the setup is a pain. I have to run the installers manually."

"The solution could improve on the resource management, it is a bit heavy on the resources."

"There could be enhancements made to the DLP."

More Sophos EPP Suite cons

"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."

"The program and cloud service management is in English. It's not a problem for me, however, it might be for users who don't speak English or use it regularly."

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"There is no technical support available in the Middle East."

"But the biggest one for us is patch management because this has been our top priority when looking at alternatives. Every solution needs to have patch management, if that's possible. It would cut costs on our side if that feature were included, so we don't need to pay for two separate pieces of software."

"One problem is that the solution takes too much RAM from the client."

"The solution could improve by having more real-time responses. For example, when a license gets removed from a computer it does not update the records of the change. Additionally, when I installed Microsoft Windows Defender I was not able to send licenses through email to our tenants. The integration with other solutions could improve."

"I would like the part of Hash Analysis by external sources to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you compare this to other solutions from a pricing perspective, the enterprise version of Sophos turns out to be cost-effective."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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

"The product is inexpensive, and we receive good discount offers from our product partners."

"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."

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

More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice

"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."

"The cost of the solution depends on the size of the company and where the licenses are being ordered from."

"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."

"The product has average pricing."

"The price is comparable."
