Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like that Sophos SafeGuard provides excellent technical support.""What I love most about Sophos SafeGuard is its user-friendly interface. My company has another software with a complex user interface versus Sophos SafeGuard, which is extremely easy to use.""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 monitoring features are easy to use.""It's the best solution on the market.""The product filters phishing emails.""The solution has done a fabulous job of protecting us from threats.""The most valuable features of the solution are the fact that they are able to encrypt the hard disk and to encrypt USB sticks."

Cons
"The Office 360 integration could be improved.""Once you lock a server, you won't be able to install or put something on that particular server, but on the PC or machines, the lockdown feature is not there, and it is a query our company raised when we had to provide details for Sophos' review.""What would make Sophos SafeGuard better than competitors is if its management console also includes firewall management. In the future, I want Sophos SafeGuard to be more scalable.""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.""Technical support could be a bit better.""The integration could be a little better.""Sophos SafeGuard is a German product. Sophos isn't really active in Europe. The Middle East, Africa, South Africa works with Sophos but their primary users aren't in Europe. They should market and push this solution to the European market.""There are times that this solution takes up too much memory that needs to be resolved. If it is not fixed it will definitely create issues in the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licensing costs depend on the series. For example, XG 85 can be around $200. If you go to ACC or to a four or five-year enterprise solution, you will find these devices can cost $10,000. It depends on the series."
  • "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."
  • "It would be great if the price of the solution was lower than the current price. If we are to sell this particular solution to smaller businesses and not just enterprise businesses it needs to be lower."
  • "We pay around $10 a year for each endpoint, including support."
  • "Pricing for Sophos SafeGuard could be improved because it could reach a thousand dollars depending on the product, edition, and software key purchased."

    Questions from the Community
    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 »
