What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Sophos MDR is one of the best security solutions. Easy to manage, easy to deploy, great Sophos team communication. On a daily basis, checks are easy to understand and follow.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

I'm really struggling to find a dislike but the only one I can think of is that the web interface acts a little bit slow. And it is only because I had not because I think there is an issue ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are smal IT team with limited resources so MDR do the SOC work for us. Prevuisly we had XDR solution but we had no time to run queries against the network and endpoints to see if there are any threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

Having used Sophos MDR for the last few years one of the things that stands out is how very well designed and easy to use their interface is. In addition, their communication and timely, focused updates make our company feel very safe and secure in using their service. I have not had much need for their technical support but when I have had to use it, they were responsive, knowledgable and above all quick. I don't think I would personally sleep well at night if I didn't know that Sophos MDR was monitoring our netwoek 24/7/365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

Really, like any other service I wish it was cheaper. But, I really don't mind paying extra for that feeling of safety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a small business and don't really have the resources to dedicate full time for network security. Sophos has been a solid partner in managing and monitoring our network. There is absolutely no way we would be able to achieve their level of thoroughness on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

I like everything, but if I have to make a complaint it would be with the language of the support that Sophos MDR offers since sometimes it is a bit complicated to deal with the language that is why I would recommend that extra of adding support in Spanish, it is still worth it and I didn't change it.

What do you like best about Sophos MDR?

I appreciate the various tools offered in the Sophos Portal, particularly the remote computer control and scanning capabilities. The Self Help Tool provides valuable computer-level information and I also find the threat graph and admin tools on the dashboard very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sophos MDR?

The user interface of the portal is quite cluttered, making it difficult to locate specific settings, information, or functions. When an app is blocked, allowing that application to run seems counterintuitive, even for an admin. Adding a website to the whitelist should enable access to that site. However, you must also change the category to access the site. Finally, the most significant challenge was installing the Sophos endpoint agent. Initially, Sophos customer service provided very little help unless we paid for support. They first directed me to a German-language YouTube video with subtitles. Fortunately, our Sophos Account Executive and Solution Engineer reached out to us and offered exceptional support and assistance, leveraging their wealth of knowledge and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sophos MDR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sophos MDR provides our company and employees with cyber security solutions that work on a variety of platforms and application environments. Most of all they provide us with peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
