Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
On the management side, we liked the way it displays things. The solution is extremely scalable. It's got the hybrid functionality, it's got the system functionality and cloud functionality as well. The solution is stable. The solution is pretty easy to scale. It handles situations that the other threat management tools wouldn't find. It has worked well covering the weaker sides of the other products that we're integrating. Centralized dashboard online which can be used for managing a huge product. Even if an endpoint loses connection to the Internet, I know that endpoint is protected against 99.99% of the threats in the wild today. Specifically for a Windows domain environment, the product can be customized and pushed via GPO or SCCM without issue. | The most valuable feature is the ability to centrally manage the total security environment, including the firewall. The protection that this solution offers us is strong. Intercept X is the most valuable feature in the solution. It's more or less pretty standard. The endpoint feature allows you to basically see what is happening, and stop a wide range of threats. It's been the most unique identifier for Sophos. If you want something simple to work with, Sophos makes it very simple for you to use. So easy to deploy and use that you really don't even need their technical support. It is stable. |
Cons | |
It should provide more details about the events that they have detected. I would say one thing that they might need to bring in is protection for mobile devices. The solution needs better dashboards that are easier to use. The security scripting needs improvement. It needs deeper security for scripting. I would like to see a better UI in terms of sifting through more specific data and providing analytics. A little bit more would be nice. Work on the math model. We are catching a lot of false positives, which gets to be a pain at the start of a deployment. | I would like to have more logging features to help more deeply analyze traffic. In the next release, I would like to see the phishing attached included in the firewall. Deployment and central management need to be improved. If you are not an IT expert, the solution is difficult to use. Configuring notifications is lagging a bit behind the curve as the product should be able to direct exactly where any notification type is sent. Sometimes there are issues with the antivirus back logs. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
We would just add more if there are new users, but right now you just need one license for per user. Our licensing cost for the solution is around $4,000 for six months. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. Shop around for sure and be assured the price you pay will be close to other solutions available, but even at a slight mark-up from the other solutions, you are getting real endpoint protection versus nothing more than a cheap security blanket that might keep you warm at night. Do not get hung up on price. You pay for what you get and expensive will hurt one time, where cheap will hurt forever, especially if you fall victim to a ransom attack, etc. | The pricing for this solution is ok. Willing to discount when you are switching from another product. Upgrading services will end up costing more, as expected. |
