Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration features are the most valuable. The integration is specific to each solution. It works well with SQL and Oracle databases and so on."

"The Intercept X feature is the most valuable feature. You can't find this feature in other firewalls because Intercept X works as if it has an interaction between the endpoint and the firewall.""It's easy to use. You have to pay extra for additional, but the basic product is fantastic. It will be a good solution for you, depending on your requirements.""The solution can be easily connected and it is very secure.""The features that I have found most valuable are encryption tools that encrypt the hard disk and the USB sticks.""The malware protection and the scanning features are most valuable in this solution.""The product is easy to use.""The user experience and the quality of the features are good.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the GUI is easy to use."

Cons
"On the exchange server, you do not have the best options for adjusting your mailbox. This feature is not included. Also, disaster recovery backups can be improved. Some other solutions, such as HP Data Protector, have more features."

"When you have the PPM chipset, you can have the power-on authentication, when you boot up your machine, you can set the six-digit passcode. As of right now, SafeGuard can't manage the six-digit passcode in terms of the expiration, and I need that added as a feature.""SafeGuard's user interface is ugly and doesn't provide reports, so we have to go into the database and get information from there by creating queries.""An area for improvement in Sophos SafeGuard is the pricing. Pricing should be better when adding a new account or scaling the product.""The product's next release could have integration features with different internal and external systems.""The cost is rather expensive. It's a pain point for many clients. They should work to see if they can reduce pricing.""There's no centralized management. This is a drawback.""The tutorials need to be simplified. The existing ones need to be easier to follow and we could use some tutorials for basic setups. They should aim to be more like Cisco, which offers very good tutorials and materials.""In the next release, I would like to see more automation with the endpoint logging, but it's a special feature that is quite complicated to explain."

  • "Licensing for this solution is on a yearly basis."
  • "The licenses are dependant on the number of users and computers you have to protect."
  • "We have a yearly license with Sophos which is around $1000-$1200 or so per annum. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
  • "Licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing could be better."

    Top Answer:The pricing is reasonable. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.
    Top Answer:SD-WAN and AI are the kinds of things we're interested in, but for now, it's just planning for the future. AI is advancing rapidly, and I wasn't even aware there was any AI involved in Sophos. Almost… more »
