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 is one of the good solutions that provides a single well-rounded protection for endpoints and internet security."

"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 is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall."

"Synchronized security is a great feature. My firewall knows exactly what is happening in my endpoint."

"Great cloud management."

"The product interacts well with other Sophos products we have."

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

"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."

More Sophos EPP Suite pros

"Both incoming and outgoing traffic is protected."

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

"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."

"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."

"The notifications and patch management features are valuable."

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

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

Cons

"In the future, I would like to see better third-party integration so that it can work in conjunction with our ticket system."

"The solution lacks technical support."

"The management console need improvement."

"Sophos EPP Suite demands significant resources just to operate. For example, it takes up more than 50% of the resources on our laptop to run it. So, even if we buy a laptop i7 and use 50% resources for Sophos, it will cost us more because every computer needs energy. I don't know why or what the exact problem is."

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

"The product's resource utilization is a concern, especially regarding memory usage on systems with older specifications such as lower memory and less powerful processors."

"There could be more integration included in Sophos EPP Suite."

"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."

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."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Sophos EPP Suite 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."

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

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

"The product has a yearly licensing fee."

"The solution is expensive."

"Sophos is cheaper than some competing products."

"We are on an annual license to use the solution."

More Sophos EPP Suite pricing and cost advice

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

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

"The product has average pricing."

"The price is comparable."

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