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 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 easy to deploy."

"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."

"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."

"Great cloud management."

"Sophos EPP Suite stands out with its user-friendly dashboard and strong web filtering features for enhanced online security."

"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."

"It's a pretty good product. It's on level with other products in the market."

"The setup is very easy, which takes around twenty minutes to set up the cloud setup and the licensing portal."

More Sophos EPP Suite pros

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

"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 notifications and patch management features are valuable."

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

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

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

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

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

Cons

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

"The product should improve support and provide more scalable clustering."

"The solution lacks technical support."

"Deployment and central management need to be improved."

"Pricing is a consideration for us; for the Indian market, it is slightly expensive."

"Sophos EPP Suite could improve the way it can be installed. They used to have one installer and now they have two, one for the server and one for the client. I don't know the difference, it brings confusion."

"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 product is not secured and doesn't offer a fast connection."

More Sophos EPP Suite cons

"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."

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

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

"Resource consumption is suboptimal and could be improved."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"The license cost for Sophos EPP Suite depends on the features you want to use. For example, if you want to use advanced features, such as web application firewalling, the cost may be higher. In general, I believe the licensing cost is reasonable."

"When compared to Fortinet, the renewal and subscription is quite expensive."

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

"Sophos EPP Suite is cost-effective. We bought it because it costs less than other solutions we like—for example, Trend Micro and Panda Antivirus."

More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice

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

"The product has average pricing."

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

"The price is comparable."

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