Previously we used Symantec and Trend Micro. We switched to Sophos EPP Suite because we were given a lower cost.

Five to six years ago, we used McAfee and Trend Micro.

Before Sophos, we used Kaspersky.

The previous solution we used didn't provide ransomware protection. In comparison to Sophos, it was difficult to deploy, scale, and manage. It was completely in-house including the server and it became a nightmare to manage the systems and the notes.

We did not really previously use a particular solution — for ourselves or our clients — that will take care of all the things that the Sophos suite will as a unified product. We are constantly evaluating different products by checking out demos. We have used Sophos products for ourselves and with clients in the past but we still need to activate the Sophos EPP (Endpoint Protection Platform) for ourselves internally with formal licenses. We previously had a license and it is still valid, but we need to upgrade for more users.  

The solution we are using right now with most clients is ESET (Essential Security against Evolving Threats) Endpoint Security. We are going to Sophos Intercept X to replace this. We had also been looking into how Intercept X works with the endpoint firewall including how well they communicate with each other and how that may impact our infrastructure. So I've been very interested in the concept of adopting Sophos. As soon as possible, we will get the licenses. About 250 client machines and 55 for our actual and virtual servers.  

I very much impressed with the Sophos product called Intercept X. It is  a wonderful concept because it is protecting the end-user in a different way. It is working with a proactive model, not just an active model. So now Sophos will be actively protecting us before some problem is acquired by our systems.  

Our current antivirus solution will expire on the 8th of February in 2020. Before that date, we will activate Sophos for our organization backup systems to do further testing. We are currently using a third-party product called Mimecast for email security. We still have one year on the licenses for that. So Mimecast will expire in 2021. Then we will be ready to adopt the Sophos solution that fills this need. We are starting with the Sophos Endpoint solution first, and in July next year, we will check how everything is going with the Endpoint solution and hopefully we will see everything is going well. Then we will move forward adopting additional Sophos products. We will improve like that, one by one, to unify our solutions into the Sophos Suite.

Sophos is quite cost-effective for our organization’s needs. It also has local support and that is why we use it, compared to other software like Cisco. 

I have experience with SonicWall. I used it about twelve years ago.

We use the previous version, which will be phased out next year, the Sophos Central console. It's Intercept X's on-premises version.

This is our first EDR solution, I probably don't have much to compare it to.

We are using NOD32 as well. In comparison, Sophos EPP Suite is better in terms of accessibility. We can manage all the devices from anywhere. It also integrates well with Sophos Firewall.

I previously used Trend Micro. Sophos EPP Suite is better because it is a single platform for managing. For example, you can manage your endpoints and access.

I'm also familiar with CrowdStrike and SentinelOne, which are more expensive even though they have more useful features. 

We had used SonicWall as well. However, the pricing was not ideal, and the support was not good. The appliance of SonicWall does not have too much processing power either. It did not meet our needs. Sophos has a smaller footprint. We can use a smaller Sophos appliance compared to SonicWall. This made it cheaper while offering more processing power. 

I used McAfee before I switched to this solution. I wanted to use this product to get our team used to it since we give it to our customers. Our renewal for McAfee came up, and I started looking for something we could install and manage centrally because previously, we were working with single-user legacies and standalone endpoints. I wanted something that was corporate-friendly and manageable.

This is our first EDR product.

Before we used Sophos as our main solution we used Trend Micro. It was a good product, but after comparison and the vendor offering a discount to switch, we tried Sophos and were very satisfied.

I'm not sure if another solution was used previously. By the time I was hired, the company was already using Sophos.

We previously used Trend Micro. We replaced it with Sophos. Trend Micro just didn't work for us. There were issues with the management file.

We previously used Symantec. We switched to Sophos EPP Suite because it was more powerful than Symantec.

We previously used Windows Defender.

We previouslyt used Hauri AntiVirus without much luck. We commercialized it and supported it, and we even became their main distributor for a specific region, but they couldn't handle most support cases, and one virus in specific, Conficker, in 2009-2010.

After this incident, we did some market research, and the most powerful engine to cure these kinds of events, was Sophos. Their support was, and still is, the best of breed.

I've used Cyberoam and SonicWall, but I still prefer Sophos.

Previously, we were using Cyberoam with a valid license.

I can't really discuss this, as I'm not the decision-maker at my company. I'm not sure if another solution was used previously.
