Sophos Endpoint

What differentiates Sophos Endpoint from other similar products?

I like the way Sophos has unique attributes not evident in other antivirus tools topping the list in the industry. For instance, it detects malicious files and blocks them in real-time before they are downloaded in my device. And unlike other alternatives that take considerably long to fully scan my machine, Sophos takes lesser time to execute this task.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I had such an easy time setting up and installing the software and within a few clicks, I had it up and running. Their support team is so swift and efficient in responding to queries which I found particularly useful during installation and setup. And with a 30-day free trial, I was able to test it before committing my money into purchasing the premium plan. At the end of it, I settled for Sophos!

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although I appreciate the use of distinctive panels in its layout, the organization of these panels is off. Locating certain functionalities, except the scanning feature, isn’t as easy as I would expect.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Sophos will offer you more benefits than the usual threat detection and doesn’t cause interference with other PC functions as it works in the background.

What differentiates Sophos Endpoint from other similar products?

The reputation of Sophos Endpoint is built upon a cloud-based centralized management console called Sophos Central that simplifies applying policies, monitoring devices, and responding to incidents in large-scale environments. Intercept X with deep learning AI adds an additional layer of proactive threat protection.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of deployment and centralized management is great. Features such as real-time threat notification, web management, and malware cleanup which assist in minimal manual effort to maintain security are something I appreciate.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The reporting interface can be more customizable and flexible. Also, there are occasional false positives with some applications, and those need to be manually whitelisted.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Carefully configure policies in Sophos Central so that you have maximum protection and minimum noise. Running it alongside Sophos XDR or firewall for end-to-end visibility is an excellent idea. Additionally, test deployments should first be deployed to hone rules and exceptions.
