Featured Reviews

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.

Muhammed Abdul Gafoor - PeerSpot reviewer
Has an easy initial setup process, but there could be more integration options
The initial setup is easy. I rate the process a seven or eight out of ten. We have LPR procurement. The deployment involves installing the product and adding a license. It takes three to four days to complete and requires a team of less than ten people to execute the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The web control and the application control are two good features."
"The anti-malware and web filtering are the solutions most valuable aspects."
"The solution's setup is straightforward and doesn't take much time to complete."
"This product is quite stable and there are no problems with it."
"Sophos EPP Suite has the capability to stop infections from spreading around the internal network even after the problems have infiltrated it."
"Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced."
"The solution is useful for security purposes."
"It is a scalable platform."
More Sophos EPP Suite pros
"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."
"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."
"The most valuable features of WithSecure Elements Endpoint Protection are the clear useful portal and overall company protection."
"F-Secure is useful for keeping user machines up-to-date by pushing out security and critical updates."
"On the cloud management page, the solution scales up very highly."
"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."
"We use the product for detecting network vulnerabilities and for software update purposes."
 

Cons

"We need to uninstall the license to move to another endpoint."
"In terms of improvement, the main challenge is setting up VPN connections."
"Sophos is lacking in the granularity of optimization, so having more control would be better."
"The solution is not easy to use in comparison to other endpoint security solutions."
"The automation side of the setup is a pain."
"If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."
More Sophos EPP Suite cons
"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."
"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."
"There could be a dedicated security partner with essential knowledge."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the price of Sophos EPP Suite a four out of five."
"The solution for an enterprise license costs around 13 million Philippine pesos."
"The pricing for this solution is ok."
"The tool’s price is the same as its competitors."
"Pricing and licensing are good and affordable."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"There are licenses to use this solution and we are on a three-year license."
"We purchased a three-year license, which gave us a large discount."
More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice
"If you purchase licenses in bulk the price of the licenses can decrease."
"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."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee of about €20 per computer."
