"All of the features are very important for anyone who is supporting a large number of computers."
"The product efficiently prevents data leakages."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The dashboard is user-friendly."
"This product integrates well with Sophos firewalls and should be seriously considered by Sophos Firewall clients."

"We'd like to see more one-to-one product presentations for the distribution channels."
"I would like the solution to extend beyond endpoint protection and include other attack surfaces such as other network components."
"The solution should address emerging threats like SQL injection."
"To improve Fortinet, we need to see more features and technology areas at the endpoint level introduced."
"The security should be strong for the cloud. Some applications are on-prem and some are on the cloud. Fortinet should also have strong security for the cloud. There should be more security for the cloud."
"The solution is not stable."
"The solution's installation from a central installation server could be improved because the engineers had a little bit of trouble getting it installed from a central location."
"They can include the automation for the realtime updates. We have a network infrastructure with remote sites. Whenever they send updates, they are not automated. We have to go into the console and push those updates. I wish it was more automated. The update file is currently around 31 MB. It could be smaller."
"Mobile device management is a challenging area, and it can be improved. Some areas in the DLP solution can also be improved. It has the DLP capability, but it is not an all-out DLP program. I would like to see them improve the DLP solution in terms of reporting and possibly network monitoring. Currently, they only do the reporting parts of it."
"They should work on the logs and events. Sophos Intercept X needs to increase the interface test so that it can export to a live event."
"Integration with firewall solutions could be better."
"There are not any solutions that are a 10 out of 10. A 10 would be perfect protection with no impact on the performance of the device. This is not the case, there is some impact on the performance of the device."
"Sophos needs to create a YouTube channel with educational material for technicians or engineers."
"They don't have the full stack of offerings as compared to the other competitive products that we see."
"The choices offered for the on-premises and cloud-based platforms are the reverse of each other."
"It should offer better security updates."
"There are also issues with the compatibility of the OS. When using Sophos with Windows and devices, most of them work well, but as soon as we work with macOS and Linux, many issues arise that we do not want to have."
"With Sophos EPP Suite, inventory cannot be checked, and external applications cannot be installed."
"I would like to have the capability to support legacy operating systems because the majority now don't support Windows XP, and Windows 2000."
"The user interface is not responsive."
"It would be ideal if the price could be lowered a little bit."
"Sophos EPP Suite could improve by decreasing the number of resources it uses. There are other solutions that use one-fifth of the resources."
"The product's filtering and stability can be better."
"One area for improvement in Sophos EPP Suite is the support response time, particularly of the management team. It could be faster because I only got a response from the manager after a few days. If you open a case directly from the website, the response from the technical support agent may have been faster. I didn't open the request from the website, so that could be the reason why the response time took longer."
