Sophos EPP Suite Reviews

Our primary use is the main service and really the name of the product: Endpoint Protection. It's a firewall, it has antivirus protection and we use it for the encryption of our disks. It's also our web protection to keep out browser intrusion or infections.

It has made our infrastructure more secure.

Some of the most valuable things are very simple. I like the ease of deployment. Intercept X has very good ransomware detection and rollback capabilities.

Part of the product that can be improved is the detection of other antivirus software. We had some trouble one time installing the product because there was a third-party antivirus product that we needed to remove before we could install Sophos. That detection in the installer could be better. It can easily be solved but does not have to be a problem in the first place. 

Pricing could be improved because it is a bit expensive. 

It would be nice if there were more capability to configure the notifications. We do get some notifications when a virus is detected or something is wrong, but we get notifications that the machine has to be restarted or other issues that should be handled by different people or different departments. There should be some distinction as to which notification type we want to send to a particular destination. That's something that should definitely be better in an enterprise solution.

The product is very stable. We never experience any downtime.

Sophos EPP is very scalable. We currently have 200 users and there is never a problem with meeting those demands. The product only solves problems and we can always add more users. We hope we have the opportunity to scale up as the company grows. Use depends on the number of our employees. Before we add more, we have to use more.

I really don't know anything about the company support because I didn't need them. I think that says something about the product. I know that contacting the support team would have been an option, but we never had to.

Before we used Sophos as our main solution we used Trend Micro. It was a good product, but after comparison and the vendor offering a discount to switch, we tried Sophos and were very satisfied.

Our initial installation took a couple of months but, looking back, it could have been faster. A little familiarity with the product and better planning would have made the setup quicker.

We did our own installation.

It was nice of the vendor to offer a discount because we were replacing another antivirus solution. This helped us make the decision to change.

There are also additional charges if you want to have the EEPROM Protection (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and Endpoint Protection with antivirus. These additions can cost a lot more.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Sophos EPP (EndPoint Protection) Suite as an eight. I think there's always something which could be better, but I might not know what. Really I could give it a nine because I can recommend the product as an excellent solution.

Our customers mainly use the Sophos Endpoint Protection Suite for an all-rounded solution, including simple DLP, next-generation firewall, antivirus, EDR, and rollback capabilities for ransomware.

Sophos EPP Suite provides effective threat detection by identifying suspicious behavior and terminating malicious processes. It also offers rollback capabilities for ransomware, which is not available in some other antivirus solutions.

The AI and EDR features are the most effective for threat detection and security. The behavioral-based AI can recognize suspicious activities and terminate malicious processes. The rollback capability for ransomware is also a valuable feature.

The resource usage of the agent should be less intensive on the CPU and RAM. This would make Sophos EPP Suite a better antivirus solution, especially for clients with only the minimum required specifications.

I have been working with Sophos Endpoint Protection Suite for over two years.

I rate the stability of Sophos Endpoint Protection Suite as a seven. It can be resource-intensive, consuming significant CPU and RAM, which can affect performance.

I have not faced any scalability issues. Even if the number of licenses exceeds the limit, Sophos EPP Suite still provides coverage for all endpoints.

For tech support, I rate it between seven and eight. It might take some time to get a response, however, the support is considered good.

Neutral

Previously, I worked with McAfee, an on-premise solution where the agent could be pushed directly from the antivirus server.

Setting up Sophos EPP Suite is relatively easy, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten. The deployment process for one PC takes about 30 to 40 minutes, considering the time needed to download signatures and files from the cloud.

The response time of Sophos EPP Suite is effective if the customer has their security operation center (SOC). Proper alerts are generated and can be analyzed by security operation engineers.

Sophos EPP Suite is relatively expensive. If I were to rate the cost, it would be an eight out of ten.

I have evaluated other vendors. That said, currently, I only have experience working with Sophos EPP Suite.

The protection offered by Sophos EPP Suite is versatile. It can detect hidden Trojans before they execute and protect vulnerable versions of Windows from exploitation.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I deploy the solution on multiple EPP sites and firewalls. 

Sophos EPP Suite's best feature is that the endpoints and firewalls remain synced. The aforementioned synchronization casts a multi-layer security. When I use a firewall or Kaspersky, this synchronization is unavailable. Sophos EPP Suite has a useful expert prevention feature that prevents ransomware attacks. The solution also helps me review multiple technical reports. 

Sophos EPP Suite focuses completely on security and lacks managerial features or a management console. Competitors like Kaspersky have management control over endpoints. With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed. 

In the future version, a virtual patching feature can be included. 

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for five years. 

I am satisfied with the stability of the solution. 

Sophos EPP Suite is a competitive and affordable solution. The product is adaptable in economically weak countries, too. 

The solution's threat response feature is very productive. You not only get a response but also a root cause analysis. In my five years of experience with the product, I have never witnessed a compromised system with Sophos EPP Suite. In comparison, Kaspersky has been less successful in mitigating attacks. 

When using the suite's Sophos MDR for root protection and threat response, if a solution doesn't respond properly due to missing configuration, the solution can recommend the best configuration for a sharp response on time as per the product's capability.  

I would definitely recommend Sophos EPP Suite to others. The product has AI-driven and deep-security features. I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

Sophos EPP Suite is a powerful antivirus. The solution has many applications and a lot of configurations.

The solution’s performance could be improved for the end-users.

I have been using Sophos EPP Suite for five years.

Sophos EPP Suite is a stable solution.

Approximately, 300 users are using the solution in our organization.

We previously used Symantec. We switched to Sophos EPP Suite because it was more powerful than Symantec.

The solution's deployment is easy and doesn't take more than a few minutes.

We pay a yearly licensing fee for the solution.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten.

We use the latest version of Sophos EPP Suite since we have a cloud subscription. We have three technical staff in our organization supporting Sophos EPP Suite. Sophos EPP Suite helps us in protecting our environment.

I would recommend Sophos EPP Suite to other users.

Overall, I rate Sophos EPP Suite an eight out of ten.

We use the product to provide network and device security.

The product is stable and has a user-friendly dashboard. It has good security features. We can control the activities of multiple devices from a single point.

More integration options could be included in Sophos EPP Suite.

We have been using Sophos EPP Suite for a few years.

I rate the platform’s stability a ten out of ten.

We have 100 customers for Sophos.

We contacted the technical support team for basic product implementation.

The initial setup process is complex. It requires an expert engineer to tune and design it. We have a team of four executives for product implementation. The deployment time depends on the client's requirements. It can be deployed on-premises and in the cloud.

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

Sophos EPP Suite has good performance and pricing. I recommend it to others and rate it a seven out of ten.

The solution is useful for security purposes. It can also be used for minor web filtering. It has very minor DLP features.

The encryption features are not as good as McAfee's. Sophos can only do the entire encryption of a hard disk, whereas McAfee can do file encryption, too. The product should introduce file encryption features. McAfee provides a key for encryption. We can still decrypt the file using the key if the encryption is not connected to the server. Sophos could provide such features.

I have been using the solution for almost two years.

The tool’s scalability is good. It supports both Windows and Mac versions. However, it consumes more resources for the Windows system.

Whenever we call, we can’t reach the principal support engineer. It takes some time to reach the engineer. Maybe this is due to a lack of resources. When we call McAfee’s support, we talk to the engineer immediately.

The initial setup is quite straightforward. DLP configuration is also quite straightforward.

To deploy the tool, we can’t push it from the console or cloud. We must install it manually or push it using Microsoft SCCM or other third-party tools. Then, we must configure accordingly and filter whatever is necessary.

If a user wants a less intensive solution that doesn’t focus a lot on DLPs and encryption, they can choose Sophos EPP Suite. If they need a quick solution for DLP, McAfee is the best choice. People who want to use the product must have at least 8 GB RAM. It is a resource-intensive tool. We should be careful with legacy systems. We cannot use older versions of the operating systems. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

This solution is a combination of two products, along with the additional EDR. It has the Endpoint plus Intercept X, which is more for ransomware and the anti-exploit with the EDR on top of it. I'm the engineering manager and we are customers of Sophos EPP Suite. 

The cloud management is great. The whole solution is easy to use and simple.

Additional security is always good; it would be helpful if the technical support could be improved.

I've been using this solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support could be improved - quicker and better. Support is the bad side of Sophos. 

The initial setup is very easy, it took a few days and we did it ourselves. We have around 300 users in the company. An IT person can implement easily and there is documentation available for the configuration.

They offer an annual and monthly subscription and we chose to go with the annual one. 

We're Sophos partners for Africa, primarily in the Ivory Coast. We decided to use it first for testing purposes before proposing it to our customers as an option for them.

It's a good product. 

It's very simple to use. The managing of the endpoints is very easy.

The product offers great protection.

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.

I've been using the solution for about two years at this point.

The solution is very stable. There aren't really any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's pretty good.

It's scalable due to the fact that it is on the cloud. With the cloud deployment, it is not your problem to think about how many CPUs you must use or how many hard drives you need. It makes everything very easy.

Currently, we have less than 20 users on the solution. We may increase usage in the future as we continue to work with the product.

I've worked with Sophos technical support in the past, however, never directly on endpoint issues. Therefore I can't directly speak to their knowledge or responsiveness when issues arise.

I can't really discuss this, as I'm not the decision-maker at my company. I'm not sure if another solution was used previously.

As a cloud product, there isn't really an installation. It's pretty straightforward. You can click on an icon on the user station and all the management from the cloud is right there.

In terms of deployment, it depends on the local platform of the customers. We have about 20 users and we were able to set everything up in less than one hour.

I handled the implementation myself. I'm a Sophos architect engineer. I didn't need the assistance of an outside consultant or integrator.

I'm not quite sure how the pricing or licensing works.

We're a Sophos partner. We have a business relationship with the company.

I would recommend the solution.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
